Mikel Arteta has named the same eleven players who started against Manchester City last week in his starting line-up for today’s Premier League clash with Leicester City.

The boss stuck with those who performed so admirably against the reigning champions to earn a 2-2 draw despite playing the entire second half with ten men following Leandro Trossard’s dismissal.

After completing his one-match suspension against Bolton Wanderers in midweek, the Belgian winger returns to the team, while David Raya has shaken off concerns about an injured thigh to start between the posts.

Riccardo Calafiori, Declan Rice and Bukayo Saka are the only three players to have started all three games this week, and Bukayo could become the first player ever to register an assist in each of the first six Premier League games of a season .

Youngsters Ethan Nwaneri, Myles Lewis-Skelly, Maldini Kacurri and Josh Nichols are on the bench after playing in Tuesday’s cup action.

Leicester, meanwhile, have made two changes to their side, who drew 1-1 with Everton in the Premier League last weekend.

Former Spurs man Oliver Skipp slots into midfield alongside Facundo Bounanotte, while the more attack-minded Bobby DeCordova-Reid and Bilal El Khannouss drop to the bench.
