Arsenal are out to assert their authority in the race for the Champions League when Leicester come to town on Sunday.

Top-four rivals Tottenham and Manchester United faced off ahead of the game and left Spurs trailing while West Ham are also in action before the Gunners kick-off in north London. Of all weekends, this could be a pivotal one as the club bid to make it back into the big time.

A 3-2 victory at Watford last time out showed the attacking threat of Mikel Arteta’s young forwards, extending the club’s winning streak to four games in a row.

Here’s everything you need to know ahead of the game...

Date, kick-off time and venue
Arsenal vs Leicester is scheduled for an 4.30pm GMT kick-off on Sunday, March 13, 2022.

Emirates Stadium in London will host the match.
Arsenal vs Leicester team news
The Gunners are hoping to have Emile Smith Rowe, who missed the win at Watford due to Covid-19, available for the visit of Leicester.

Alongside Gabriel Martinelli, the two offer Arteta an enviable selection headache. The Brazilian is in fine fettle and even earned a call-up to his senior international side for the first time.

A calf issue has kept Takehiro Tomiyasu out of Premier League action since New Year’s Day, and he will not feature this weekend either with Cedric Soares expected to continue in his absence.

Jamie Vardy (knee), Timothy Castagne (leg), Jonny Evans (thigh) and Ryan Bertrand (knee) are all out for Leicester, while Wesley Fofana’s return from long-term injury has been delayed by a positive Covid test.

Arsenal vs Leicester prediction
The Foxes are trying to kickstart a bit of an underwhelming season into a frantic finish but come up against a Gunners side riding the crest of a wave.

A 2-1 home win.
