Team News: Alexandre Lacazette, Jack Wilshere miss out on Arsenal squad

Lacazette misses out on Arsenal squad

Alexandre Lacazette and Jack Wilshere have not been included in Arsenal's squad to face Leicester City at the King Power Stadium.

Gunners boss Arsene Wenger has made four changes from the 5-0 win over Burnley at the weekend in what is his penultimate game in charge of the club that he has served for 22 years.

Ainsley Maitland-Niles, Rob Holding, Aaron Ramsey and Danny Welbeck all start in the East Midlands, with Hector Bellerin joining Wilshere and Lacazette in being given the night off.

Calum Chambers is the other player to make way, with Wenger sticking to his plan of rotating his squad in the final week of the season.

Leicester make three changes from their 2-0 loss against West Ham United here last weekend, meanwhile, bringing in Eldin Jakupovic, Danny Simpson and Kelechi Iheanacho.

Marc Albrighton is among those to miss out for the home side due to an FA charge for misconduct.

Leicester City: Jakupovic; Simpson, Morgan, Maguire, Fuchs; Choudhury, Adrien Silva; Mahrez, Diabate, Iheanacho; Vardy Subs: Hamer, Benalouane, Dragovic, Iborra, Barnes, Gray, Thomas

Arsenal: Cech; Maitland-Niles, Holding, Mavropanos, Kolasinac; Xhaka, Ramsey, Iwobi; Mkhitaryan, Welbeck, Aubameyang Subs: Ospina, Osei-Tutu, Mertesacker, Mustafi, Willock, Nelson, Nketiah
