Gabriel Martinelli is back in the starting line up for our trip to the King Power Stadium on Saturday.

The Brazilian scored from the bench at Villa Park, and replaces Eddie Nketiah in the only change to the line up.

That means Leandro Trossard keeps his place, in a front three with Bukayo Saka and Martinelli.

Jorginho continues in midfield, but Thomas Partey returns to the squad after missing two games with injury, and takes his place on the bench.

Martin Odegaard and Granit Xhaka are also in midfield, with the back four the same as last weekend - Ben White, William Saliba, Gabriel and Alex Zinchenko. The Ukrainian takes the armband today. Aaron Ramsdale is in goal.

As for the hosts, James Maddison misses out through injury, one of two changes to their line up from the defeat to Manchester United last weekend.

Arsenal: Ramsdale, White, Saliba, Gabriel, Zinchenko, Jorginho, Xhaka, Odegaard, Martinelli, Saka, Trossard.

Subs: Turner, Tierney, Tomiyasu, Kiwior, Holding, Partey, Smith Rowe, Vieira, Nketiah
