Latest Leicester vs Arsenal squad information
In addition to Kai Havertz's absence, Arsenal will also be without Gabriel Martinelli, who suffered a hamstring injury in the defeat to Newcastle in the last match. Although not too serious, Martinelli will still be out for the next few weeks.
With Gabriel Jesus and Bukayo Saka yet to return, coach Arteta is having a headache with the personnel problem in the attack. The trio of Ethan Nwaneri, Leandro Trossard and Raheem Sterling can lead the "Gunners" attack.
In defence, Takehiro Tomiyasu is likely to undergo knee surgery. The good news is that Ben White is back in training and could make his first appearance for Arsenal since November.
Leicester City's squad situation is not much better as they are still waiting for the results of Jamie Vardy's physical condition. It is worth noting that this veteran striker has scored 11 goals against Arsenal in the Premier League. Only Wayne Rooney (12 goals) and Harry Kane (14 goals) have done better than Vardy in this regard.
Jannik Vestergaard and Victor Kristiansen are doubtful for the next match. Long-term injured player Abdul Fatawu is definitely absent. In addition, interim coach Rau

Latest football commentary on Leicester vs Arsenal
Mikel Arteta may have wanted to fly his Arsenal team straight to the Middle East after their 5-1 thrashing of Manchester City, but judging by their dismal performance against Newcastle in the second leg of their EFL Cup semi-final, it felt as if their minds were already in Dubai before they arrived at St James' Park.
Instead of taking advantage of the excitement after a resounding victory over the defending champions, the "Gunners" were completely outclassed by Newcastle. The defense (including William Saliba, Gabriel Magalhaes and David Raya) did not play at their best.
Arsenal will now focus solely on the Premier League and Champions League. However, the bad news of Kai Havertz's serious injury has dashed any hopes after the mid-season break. The board's decision not to strengthen their attack has backfired in the worst possible way. Although Liverpool were held to a controversial draw by Everton, Arsenal are now seven points behind their opponents (having played the same number of games).
Regardless, the Gunners have maintained an impressive unbeaten run (14 consecutive matches) in the Premier League. The last time Arsenal had a longer unbeaten run was under manager Arsène Wenger in the 2010-11 season.
Returning to Old Trafford after less than a year as Leicester manager, Ruud van Nistelrooy watched his side exit the FA Cup in a bitter fashion. With the game tied at 1-1 and heading into extra time, former Leicester City centre-back Harry Maguire headed home the winner in stoppage time. Although slow-motion replays showed Maguire was offside, without VAR, the goal stood (much to Van Nistelrooy's chagrin).
Leicester need to put this disappointment aside and focus on their relegation battle. They are currently 18th, two points from safety. Poor home form has put the team in a difficult position (four consecutive defeats at the King Power, conceding nine goals and failing to score a single one).
In Premier League history, only one team has ever lost 5 consecutive home games without scoring a goal. That is Norwich City (2019/20 season). Leicester City are in danger of repeating this unforgettable record. The 2-4 defeat to Arsenal in the first leg marked the Foxes' 6th consecutive defeat to the Gunners in the top flight of the foggy country.
