Leicester City vs Arsenal: TV channel, live stream, squad news & preview image

Arsenal will hope to end Arsene Wenger's tenure as manager with a string of wins after their 5-0 demolition of Burnley on Sunday.

Arsenal are yet to notch up an away league win in 2018 and a trip to the King Power could be their best chance yet.

Leicester City have nothing to play for in the Premier League and their players look to be taking it easy so that they're ready for the World Cup after being smashed 5-0 by Crystal Palace and beaten 2-0 by West Ham in their last two games.

The Foxes face an injury crisis. Ben Chilwell, Wilfred Ndidi, Matty James, Robert Huth, and Daniel Amarty are definitely out. Marc Albrighton is also suspended.

Kasper Schmeichel, Danny Simpson, Shinji Okazaki and Aleksandar Dragovic all face a race to be fit for this fixture.

Forwards Lacazette, Welbeck, Nketiah, Willock

Mesut Ozil is set to miss the rest of the season with a back injury, but should be fit for Germany's World Cup campaign.

Mohamed Elneny remains out with an ankle injury, whilst Laurent Koscielny will miss the World Cup with an Achilles tear which he suffered against Atletico Madrid. Santi Cazorla is back training with the first team, though it is unlikely that he will play.

Potential Arsenal starting XI: Cech; Bellerin, Chambers, Mavropanos, Monreal; Ramsey, Xhaka, Wilshere; Mkhitaryan, Aubameyang; Lacazette

Match Preview


With both teams' fates settled, neither side will want to be risking much especially with the World Cup on the horizon. 

Don't expect any big tackles to fly in or any red cards in this fixture. Arsenal are motivated by the fact that Wenger is departing after 22 years in charge but the send-off game was last week where they put in arguably their best performance of the season beating Burnley 5-0.

Arsenal have secured sixth place whereas Leicester will finish midtable. The last time these sides met was on the opening day in a spectacular match in which Arsenal ran out 4-3 winners courtesy of a late Olivier Giroud goal.
