Latest Arsenal vs Leicester City team news
Because Trossard's suspension applies to all competitions, the Belgian player returned to Mikel Arteta's squad after missing the win against Bolton.
Reserve goalkeeper Neto, on loan from Bournemouth, could make his Arsenal debut, while David Raya remains doubtful due to a muscle injury sustained at the Etihad. Jurrien Timber's involvement is also uncertain as he missed the midweek win due to injury. Myles Lewis-Skelly also suffered an injury on Wednesday but is not expected to feature.
Arsenal are facing serious squad shortages, with Martin Odegaard (ankle), Mikel Merino (shoulder), Takehiro Tomiyasu (knee), Kieran Tierney (hamstring), and Oleksandr Zinchenko (calf) all sidelined with injuries. Despite this, the team should still be able to field their strongest lineup for their Champions League match against Paris Saint-Germain.
Conversely, Leicester are relatively free of injury problems, with only Patson Daka and Jakub Stolarczyk recovering from ankle injuries. There will be changes in Leicester's lineup, with Ward's excellent performance against Walsall not enough to secure his place in goal ahead of Mads Hermansen. Jamie Vardy is also likely to return to the starting striker position, and he is a significant threat to Arsenal, having scored 11 goals in 16 matches against the Gunners across all competitions, second only to Watford in goalscoring record.
The match between Arsenal and Leicester promises to be very exciting, with both teams having good reasons to be determined to win.

Latest Arsenal vs Leicester City football match preview
Arsenal delivered an impressive performance against Bolton Wanderers in the Carabao Cup, with young players shining. Notably, 16-year-old goalkeeper Jack Porter became the youngest player to ever appear for Arsenal's first team, despite not keeping a clean sheet on his debut. Porter's teammate, Ethan Nwaneri, scored two goals, along with strikes from Raheem Sterling, Kai Havertz, and Declan Rice, helping Arsenal easily overcome Bolton and advance to the fourth round where they will face Preston North End.
Despite a good start to the season, Arsenal were left disappointed after their draw with Manchester City, where a 98th-minute goal from John Stones prevented them from securing their first win at the Etihad since January 2015. Leandro Trossard's red card prompted Arteta to adopt a more defensive approach, but also drew criticism. Arsenal currently sit fourth in the Premier League table, two points behind Manchester City, with a 70% win rate in 2024 – their best since 1932.
Arsenal have a good history against newly promoted teams at the Emirates, with a run of 39 unbeaten matches since being defeated by Newcastle in 2010. Meanwhile, Leicester struggled to score against Walsall and had to rely on goalkeeper Danny Ward, who saved all three of the opposition's penalties, to secure their progression. However, Leicester are still winless in the Premier League this season and sit 15th, the highest of the six teams yet to win.
Arsenal will be looking to secure their sixth consecutive win against Leicester, having won all five of the most recent Premier League encounters between the two sides. Vardy, despite returning to the starting lineup, may struggle to find the net at the Emirates. With several key players rested, Arsenal are well-prepared for this match, while also looking ahead to their upcoming Champions League clash with PSG. Saturday's game promises to be exciting, as Arsenal aim to maintain their high form.
