3. David Raya could be absent

David Raya picked up a muscular knock against City and as a result was left out of the matchday squad against Bolton, replaced between the sticks by Jack Porter. The Spaniard is still not 100% certain for the game against Leicester so Mikel Arteta may be forced to make a change.

Neto would now be available as cover if Raya is absent for the game. The Bournemouth loanee also missed the Bolton match due to being cup-tied but is available to star in the Premier League.

The loss of Raya in goal would be huge for Arteta given the former's formidable presence between the sticks so far this season. It should not be too much of an issue however, given the brilliance of Arsenal's backline.
