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

Arsenal will look to tighten their grip on fourth spot in the Premier League table when Leicester City pay a visit to the Emirates Stadium on Sunday afternoon.

The Gunners rose into the Champions League places with a 3-2 success at Watford last weekend, with Bukayo Saka, Martin Odegaard and Gabriel Martinelli on the scoresheet.

Mikel Arteta's side will likely have dropped out of the top four by the time Sunday rolls around with Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur locking horns on Saturday, but Arsenal's games in hand arguably sees them in the driving seat for Champions League football.
