Riding a 8-game unbeaten streak, the Gunners travel to Leicester City on Saturday for an all important match v the Foxes at the King Power Stadium. Currently, Arsenal has a few players that are questionable, but let’s assume everyone is healthy and ready to go this weekend.
So, if that’s the case, here’s my predicted starting XI v James Vardy and the lot…
Back-up starters are in ( ).
[4-4-2]
Lacazette, Aubameyang
Smith Rowe, Lokonga, Partey, Saka
Tierney (Tavares), Gabriel, White (Holding), Tomiyasu
Ramsdale
Predicted final score: Leicester City 2 – ARSENAL 3
COYG!

Mikel Arteta on winning 14 consecutive UCL games in the group/league phase, “It shows the level of consistency that we have. We are carrying on playing the way we do, performing that way in competition. I’m sure we can do that more, but we have to earn it because it’s big.”
You got the side and formation right. I hope Arteta is reading this.
For those who don’t have pay tv to watch, go to arsenal.com register and you get commentary for free as well as pregame talks from Adrian Clarke an ex arsenal player. For me many games are at midnight or the wee small hours and to lay back with eyes closed and listen to the arsenal commentary is bloody marvellous.
