Arsenal confirmed team news vs Leicester as Zinchenko starts and Smith Rowe returns to bench

Oleksandr Zinchenko continues at left-back for Arsenal as they take on Leicester City in the Premier League at the Emirates Stadium. The Ukrainian was chosen to start ahead of Kieran Tierney last week and remains in the starting XI despite Mikel Arteta's hints that the Scottish international is returning to full fitness. Tierney instead is among the substitutes.

Emile Smith Rowe also returns to the bench for the Gunners. The England international missed out on last week's victory at Selhurst Park with a muscular injury, but after returning to training this week he has been passed fit enough to return to the squad.

Takehiro Tomiyasu is back, but is only fit enough for the bench as he continues to recover from a series of muscle injuries that have blighted him throughout 2022. That means that Ben White continues at right back, with the impressive William Saliba partnering Gabriel inside of him.
