Gabriel Martinelli returns to their starting XI for Arsenal's Premier League clash against Leicester at the King Power Stadium, in a surprise change with Eddie Nketiah dropping to the bench. The Brazilian was replaced by Leandro Trossard last week at Aston Villa, but after an impressive cameo off the bench he's back in the side.
Trossard does continue in the side though presumably as a false nine. This means that Eddie Nketiah drops to the bench for the first time since the World Cup.
Thomas Partey though is not in the team as he continues to recover from an injury that has saw him missed the last two Gunners games. In his absence Jorginho continues at the base of the midfield, with the Ghanaian on the bench.
