Arsenal are a little bruised up after their dramatic 2-2 draw against Manchester City last week.
The Gunners went down to 10 men before halftime after Leandro Trossard was sent off and they spent the majority of the second period on the back foot. City eventually equalised deep into injury time.
On Saturday, they face Leicester, still looking for a win.

Arsenal - Player To Watch
Prior to his goal against Bolton after coming off the bench, Kai Havertz went four games for club and country without a goal. Due to his performances last season, he was trusted to be the club's star number nine, but he'll need to start hitting the back of the net more often.
Leicester - Player To Watch
Even at the age of 37, Jamie Vardy is Leicester's most potent attacking threat. He has had a week off, too, so he'll be raring to go after a couple of pre-match Red Bulls.
In his 16 career appearances versus Arsenal, he has scored an impressive 11 goals.
Arsenal vs Leicester - Prediction
Arsenal are unbeaten this season, while Leicester are yet to taste victory in the league so all signs point to a comfortable home win for the Gunners. The hosts will need to be wary of Vardy on the counter as he has stung them before, but you can't really see Leicester getting the better of this imperious Arsenal backline.
