Arsenal team news: Injury, suspension list vs. Leicester City

Arsenal can re-establish a five point lead at the top of the Premier League table when they travel to Leicester City on Saturday afternoon.

The Gunners regained top spot from Manchester City courtesy of a stunning 4-2 win over Aston Villa last weekend, before the champions dropped points in a 1-1 draw away to Nottingham Forest.

Mikel Arteta's team sit two points clear of Man City with a game in hand, and they can extend that lead for at least a couple of hours before the holders meet Bournemouth later on Saturday evening.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up Arsenal's latest injury and suspension news ahead of their clash with the Foxes, who sit 14th in the table.
