Lineups, team news, confirmed starting teams as Trossard and Vardy start

Arsenal visit Leicester City in the Premier League on Saturday (12.30pm GMT) as they attempt to close the gap on leaders Liverpool.

The second-placed Gunners start the day seven points behind the Reds, who drew 2-2 at Everton in the Merseyside derby on Monday.

Only victory would move third-bottom Leicester out of the relegation zone because Wolves have a two-point advantage immediately above them.
