Arsenal Faces Leicester Amid Fitness Concerns

Arsenal faces fitness concerns ahead of their Premier League clash with Leicester City, with doubts over key players like David Raya and Jurrien Timber, compounded by the absence of Martin Odegaard and Mikel Merino. The Gunners missed the chance to top the league after a bruising 2-2 draw with Manchester City, and will also be without the suspended Leandro Trossard. Meanwhile, Leicester City's goalkeeper Danny Ward was the hero in their Carabao Cup penalty shoot-out win over Walsall, though the team's overall performance was criticized. Manager Steve Cooper aims to field a strong and experienced squad in the Carabao Cup amidst their Premier League struggles. In the EFL Championship, West Brom's solid defense has propelled them to the top of the table, contrasting with Sheffield Wednesday's recent poor form.
