Arsenal v Leicester City – Confirmed starting lineups

The Premier League season kicks off tonight at 19:45 when Arsenal host Leicester City at the Emirates Stadium.

The Foxes – who are coming off the back of a turbulent season – have strengthened their squad over the summer. Leicester signed Kelechi Iheanacho, Vicente Iborra, Harry Maguire and Eldin Jakupovic.

Craig Shakespear has also been able to keep hold of his star names, Riyad Mahrez, Jamie Vardy and Shinji Okazaki.

Arsenal have also bolstered their lineup following the signings of Alexandre Lacazette and Bosnia international Sead Lolasinac.

Arsenal playmaker Mesut Ozil has been included in the starting lineup. The 28-year-old was a doubt coming into the game due to an ankle injury he picked up during training last week.

Wenger has decided to stick with the 3-5-2 formation which has served his side well in recent fixtures.
