Arsenal started the new Premier League season impressively, beating Crystal Palace in the opening game. Gabriel Jesus and Oleksandr Zinchenko already look to be settled in north London and the home fans will be excited to see their summer signings in person for the first time.

Leicester had a less successful opening to their campaign, conceding an 86th-minute equaliser to blow a 2-0 lead against Brentford. Boss Brendan Rogers was forced to admit that his side “could've been better with the ball in the second half.”

Takehiro Tomiyasu, Kieran Tierney and Emile Smith-Rowe are all fit enough to make the bench for today's game, but there's no sign yet of Fabio Vieria.

The Foxes will still be without winger Harvey Barnes for a few weeks, as he picked up a knee injury in a pre-season match. Ricardo Pereira suffered a ruptured achilles in the same game and could be out for as long as six months. As the transfer deadline looms, Leicester remain the only team in the Premier League not to have made any signings.

Here's how they line up:

Arsenal: Ramsdale, White, Gabriel, Saliba, Zinchenko, Partey, Xhaka, Odegaard, Saka, Martinelli, Jesus.

Leicester City: Ward, Amartey, Fofana, Evans, Justin, Ndidi, Tielemans, Maddison, Dewsbury-Hall, Castagne, Vardy.
