3 talking points ahead of Arsenal vs Leicester

Arsenal host Leicester on Saturday afternoon and will be looking to get back to winning ways in the Premier League.

The Gunners beat Bolton 5-1 in the third round of the Carabao Cup in their last outing, courtesy of some great performances from a mix of youth and senior players. Mikel Arteta's side dropped to fourth place in the league as a result of their 2-2 draw at Manchester City.

As Arsenal look to catch back up to their title rivals City, there are three key talking points ahead of their matchup with the Foxes.

1. Potential start for Ethan Nwaneri

Ethan Nwaneri made his first senior start for the club against Bolton and put in a brilliant performance. He scored a brace and was ultimately voted as Arsenal's Player of the Match.

The youngster played the entire 90 minutes against Bolton and certainly made the most of this chance. Having now had a full game to show his ability, he has demonstrated to Mikel Arteta that he is ready to play some decent minutes in the Premier League.

The Spaniard must seriously consider starting Nwaneri against Leicester. The Foxes have struggled in the opening weeks of the season so seem to be ideal opposition to allow the 17-year-old to earn valuable experience in England's top flight. Nwaneri playing in midfield also means Kai Havertz will be able to continue in his preferred position up front.
