Arsenal injury, suspension news and return dates for Leicester clash: Havertz, White, Saka, Jesus, Martinelli latest

Sports Mole rounds up Arsenal's injury and suspension news ahead of their Premier League clash with Leicester City.

Arsenal will be aiming to make it three Premier League victories in a row when they continue their domestic campaign with a trip to struggling Leicester City on Saturday afternoon.

The Gunners will enter the contest off the back of a 2-0 defeat to Newcastle United in the second leg of their EFL Cup semi-final on February 5, but their last league game was a 5-1 success over Manchester City on February 2.

Mikel Arteta's side are currently second in the Premier League table, six points behind leaders Liverpool, who will have the chance to move nine points clear when they face Everton in the Merseyside derby on Wednesday night.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up Arsenal's latest injury and suspension news ahead of the contest with Leicester, who are down in 18th spot in the table, two points behind 17th-placed Wolverhampton Wanderers.
