Arsenal Squad – Petr Čech, Emiliano Martínez, David Ospina, Calum Chambers, Mathieu Debuchy, Gabriel Paulista, Kieran Gibbs, Francis Coquelin, Mohamed Elneny, Mesut Özil, Aaron Ramsey, Santi Cazorla, Jack Wilshere, Granit Xhaka, Gedion Zelalem, Chuba Akpom, T akuma Asano, Olivier Giroud, Serge Gnabry, Alex Iwobi, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Alexis Sánchez, Yaya Sanogo, Theo Walcott, Danny Welbeck, Héctor Bellerín, Rob Holding, Carl Jenkinson, Laurent Koscielny, Per Mertesacker, Nacho Monreal and Krystian Bielik.

Manager – Aresne Wenger.

Arsenal started the transfer window on a high after signing Granit Xhaka for ₤35 million but they were back to their old antics as continuously being linked with some star players but unable to sign any one of them in the end. They still look incomplete and Aresne Wenger will have to bring in some much needed reinforcements because even a fourth place this season looks quite hard.

Prediction

Leicester City 3 – 2 Arsenal.
