Arsenal will look to make it five wins in a row in all competitions when they welcome Leicester to the Emirates on Tuesday.

The impressive win over Wolves has given
the Gunners a real sniff of catching those above them, but they will surely have to take maximum points against Brendan Rodgers' side, who are desperate to keep their own Champions League hopes on track, after beating Crystal Palace on Saturday to stay third.

Granit Xhaka and Dani Ceballos have been mainstays for Arteta and there is no reason to change the pairing, whilst Nicolas Pepe could return to the team after missing the weekend after his partner gave birth. His return then allows Bukayo Saka to drop back to left wing-back.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang starts and captains the side, whilst Eddie Nketiah should be allowed to keep his place, with Alexandre Lacazette again missing out.

"Well now we are in a good run, we got some momentum," Mikel Arteta said during his pre-match press conference.

"Now we get to the crucial point of the season where we're going to face the top teams in the next two weeks.

"We just try to get prepared as well as we can, we know how important these games are going to be for the future of the season so we are very focused and committed to try to do as well as we can."
