Mikel Arteta will need to get his team selection right to avoid a tricky fixture ahead. Arsenal will then have another week of rest before they face West Ham United at the Emirates Stadium.

David Raya will likely remain in goal as speculation continues about Joan Garcia potentially joining in the summer. According to football.london, interest in Garcia has not faded, and a replacement for the on-loan Neto is expected in the upcoming transfer window.

Ben White has returned to training with the squad, and there are hopes he could be involved in the trip to the King Power Stadium. However, it would be too early to place him in the starting XI, so Jurrien Timber will retain his spot.

William Saliba, Gabriel Magalhaes, and Myles Lewis-Skelly are all expected to keep their places in the team. However, Riccardo Calafiori will be looking to earn some minutes in the side despite the young player’s rapid progress.

Thomas Partey, Declan Rice, and Martin Odegaard will all have benefited from the Dubai break, possibly Odegaard more than the others. The club captain has faced criticism for his performances this season and is unlikely to win player of the season for a third consecutive campaign unless there is a significant turnaround.
