Harry Maguire is struggling for form, Brentford will miss David Raya and West Ham look to continue their surge
Back-to-back league wins over Manchester United and Brentford suggest Leicester City have hit their stride after a shaky enough start to the season and Brendan Rodgers’s side are likely to provide a stern test for an Arsenal team that have also improved but were perhaps overpraised for their most recent league win against a surprisingly meek Aston Villa. Saturday’s early kick-off should provide a stern test of what currently passes for both teams’ mettle. Locked together on 14 points, a win for either would send them fifth for a few hours at least.
