Live coverage of all the action from the King Power Stadium for Arsenal’s Premier League clash with Leicester city

 

Arsenal take on Leicester City in the Premier League at the King Power Stadium

 

Arsenal take on Leicester City as they look to put pressure on title rivals Liverpool by closing the gap to four points before the Reds take on Wolves without head coach Arne Slot, who serves a touchline ban. Mikel Arteta, meanwhile, has his own issues to worry about.

 

 

Kai Havertz and Gabriel Martinelli are both missing since the Gunners’ last league game, the 5-1 win over Manchester City. The former will be out until the end of the season, leaving Arteta with no senior striker options.

 

There will be, therefore, plenty of pressure on Raheem Sterling, Leandro Trossard and Ethan Nwaneri to step up in their stead. Arteta too will be calling on the rest of the team to lift the side and against all odds find a way to keep winning.

It would be fair to say the mood amongst Arsenal supporters is frosty. The energy has turned very sour and is being directed toward the club in the wake of Kai Havertz’s reported season-ending injury.

 

Arsenal failed to bring in a single player during the January transfer window and the only forward they signed in the summer after selling Eddie Nketiah and Emile Smith Rowe while also loaning out Reiss Nelson and Fabio Vieira was Raheem Sterling on loan. Without a doubt, not bringing anybody in during the winter window was a colossal failure, one which requires further internal scrutiny.

 

It worries me that we have seen reports from the Mail suggesting that interim sporting director Jason Ayto has impressed those at the club with his considered approach. While there is an element of hindsight being 20/20, Mikel Arteta has hardly been quiet when it comes to public comments of how short his side are up top and the desire to sign a forward player.
