Leicester City entertain Arsenal in the first Premier League game of the weekend, as both look to close in on the European places.
Leicester edged past Brentford last weekend, with Youri Tielemans scoring another superb goal in the 2-1 victory.

Arsenal were too strong for Leeds in the same competition, with Calum Chambers scoring moments after coming on as a substitute.
The Gunners kick started the previous Premier League round as well, easing past Aston Villa 3-1, with Emile Smith Rowe the star of the show.
