After the loss to Everton, Leicester City managed to get back to winning ways in the Premier League, beating Crystal Palace 3-0 at home during the weekend.
And next up, they hit the road to take on Arsenal at the Emirates stadium and if the Foxes cannot pick up a win in this game then they could enter the next matchweek in the fourth spot of the league table – depending on how Chelsea perform in midweek.
The win against Palace will surely have settled the nerves for Brendan Rodgers and his men but the Foxes have failed to win their last 5 away matches in the Premier League so there’s every chance they could once again drop points on Tuesday.
The Leicester City manager does have a number of injury concerns to deal with which could force the manager to make a few changes to his starting line-up at the Emirates.
Leicester City team news vs Arsenal:
Ben Chilwell was taken off at half time against Crystal Palace and the full-back is a big doubt for the clash against Arsenal in midweek, as confirmed by his manager.
Rodgers told Sky Sports: “Ben’s is his plantar fascia, the bottom of his foot, which is giving him pain. We’ll just have to assess that and see what the specialists say on it.
“You can play through it but of course there are times you get a real bad pain in it, so it’s just trying to manage that.”
So with Chilwell likely to miss the match, Christian Fuchs should come into the side as the manager might switch to a three-man defensive line with Fuchs and Harvey Barnes playing as the two wing-backs.
James Maddison played with a hip problem vs Everton last week but those 45 minutes of football seems to have aggravated the injury and the playmaker is now a major doubt for the clash vs Arsenal.
Ayoze Perez was substituted against Palace with a knock to his ankle and the player will go through a late fitness test in order to determine his availability for Leicester City on Tuesday.
Tielemans and Ndidi will keep their place in the starting line-up but with a change in formation, Dennis Praet could come into the side.
Daniel Amartey and Ricardo Pereira are both long-term absentees and will no longer play any part during the remainder of the season.
Leicester City predicted line-up vs Arsenal:
Predicted starting XI: Schmeichel; Evans, Soyuncu, Justin; Tielemans, Ndidi, Barnes, Christian Fuchs, Dennis Praet; Iheanacho Jamie Vardy.
