Arsenal have named their side to face Leicester City at the King Power Stadium on Saturday and bar the changes to the side, some eagle-eyed supporters will have noticed that there was another big change. That was in the choice of captain for the clash, with a new face holding the armband.
Oleksandr Zinchenko was named as the skipper for the game against the Foxes, despite usual club captain Martin Odegaard starting. Both have displayed their leadership quality so far this season in an area that has been under scrutiny across recent seasons.
Granit Xhaka and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang both lost the captaincy over the past few years and the lack of a named armband holder for the rest of the previous campaign left uncertainty about the role. Odegaard was given the nod from Mikel Arteta, having already been Norway's national team captain at just 24-years-old.
