Fixture: Leicester City vs Arsenal
Competition: Premier League
Kick-off: 17:30 (UK time)

Arsenal have officially announced their team and substitutes to lock horns with champions Leicester City at the King Power Stadium in a Premier League fixture.

Gunners boss Arsene Wenger is looking for his men to respond to a 4-3 home defeat to Liverpool last weekend and he chooses to drop Mohamed Elneny to the bench, bringing in summer signing Granit Xhaka.




Wenger goes with Alexis Sanchez as his main striking option, with Olivier Giroud on the bench, while Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Santi Cazorla and Theo Walcott will look to provide support.

At the back, Arsenal have a centre-back pairing of Rob Holding and Laurent Koscielny, ahead of goalkeeper Petr Cech. On the bench, Wenger can call for Mesut Ozil if needed, while Jack Wilshere is another midfield option for the French tactician.
