Leicester City’s fixture list doesn’t get any easier as they face Arsenal this weekend.

The Foxes know they need points on the board to avoid relegation from the Premier League, but they have been hard to come by.

37 points should be enough to keep Leicester up and there is now little room for error as they currently sit in the bottom three – two points behind 17th placed Wolves.

Leicester City team news

Whilst Arsenal have several injuries to deal with, for once, the same can’t be said about Leicester.

Other than Ricardo Pereira and Abdul Fatawu’s long-term issues, Van Nistelrooy has a near-full strength squad to pick from.

Wilfred Ndidi impressed against Manchester United and is in line to start again after his return from injury.

Jannik Vestergaard, Victor Kristiansen and Jamie Vardy should all be fit too after the trio missed the FA Cup defeat last weekend.
