3 talking points ahead of Leicester vs Arsenal

Arsenal travel to Leicester on Saturday afternoon as they return to action for the first time in ten days.

The Gunners lost 2-0 to Newcastle in their last outing and were knocked out of the Carabao Cup as a result. In their last Premier League game, however, Mikel Arteta's side thrashed Manchester City 5-1 with a dominant performance at the Emirates.

As Arsenal look to keep themselves in the battle for the Premier League title, there are three key talking points ahead of their clash with Leicester.

1. Forward line looking weak

If Arsenal had any sort of depth in attack a few months ago, that is certainly no longer the case. Since their last outing, the Gunners have lost Gabriel Martinelli and Kai Havertz to injury, reducing their available options to just three.

Mikel Arteta is likely to field a front three of Raheem Sterling, Leandro Trossard and Ethan Nwaneri at the King Power Stadium and while there is some quality there, you'd be forgiven for thinking that is a very weak attack.

Leicester have conceded 53 goals so far this season, the second highest in the league, so Arsenal will be confident they can break through their shoddy defence. However, their weak frontline may very well struggle.
