Team news: Raya ready to go against Leicester | Team news | News

Mikel Arteta has named the same 11 players who started against Manchester City last week in his starting XI for today's Premier League game against Leicester City.

The coach stuck with those who performed so admirably against the reigning champions, securing a 2-2 draw despite playing the entire second half with ten men following Leandro Trossard's dismissal.

The Belgian winger returns to the team after serving his one-match ban against Bolton Wanderers in midweek, while David Raya has put aside his hamstring concerns and is now starting between the sticks.

Riccardo Calafiori, Declan Rice and Bukayo Saka are the only three players to have started all three games this week, and Bukayo could become the first player ever to record an assist in each of the first six Premier League games of a season could record.

Youngsters Ethan Nwaneri, Myles Lewis-Skelly, Maldini Kacurri and Josh Nichols are on the bench after playing in the cup game on Tuesday.

Leicester have now made two changes to the side that played to a 1-1 draw with Everton in the Premier League last weekend.

Former Spurs man Oliver Skipp moves into midfield alongside Facundo Bounanotte, while the more attacking Bobby DeCordova-Reid and Bilal El Khannouss sit on the bench.
