Twitter round-up
Tommy: Genuinely looking forward to Monday Night Football for once. Arsenal vs Leicester should be a cracker!
Jeff: I have a gut negative feeling about tonight’s match – hope I’m very wrong. Worried that momentum will be halted.
Andy: This has been the longest 2 weeks ever. Absolutely buzzing now the international break is done.
Don’t get too ‘buzzed,’ Andy. There’s another one in three weeks…
Hello
18:50: Oh, I didn’t see you there…
Welcome to our LIVE coverage of the Premier League as Arsenal welcome Leicester to the Emirates.
It’s been a pretty interesting weekend of football with Jose Mourinho’s touchline scuffle being the main highlight – Roy Hodgson’s prickly interview was also a thoroughly awkward and enjoyable moment.
But I’ve got a feeling tonight’s showdown in North London could eclipse everything.
Arsenal can move two points off the top of the table and secure a 10th straight win if they see off the Foxes.
So if you’re on public transport, out and about or being subjected to terrible terrestrial television – I’m ready to keep you updated with all the action.
Let’s have the team news and line-ups, shall we?
ARSENAL vs LEICESTER
Arsenal could welcome back Mesut Ozil having missed the win at Fulham due to a back spasm. Danny Welbeck (hamstring) is also back in training.
Sokratis Papastathopoulos (ankle) will be assessed but Laurent Koscielny (Achilles) and Konstantinos Mavropanos (groin) are still missing as Ainsley Maitland-Niles and Petr Cech return from leg and hamstring injuries respectively.
Leicester captain Wes Morgan serves a one-match suspension after being sent off against Everton before the international break. Matty James (Achilles) and Demarai Gray (ankle) are out.
