ARSENAL continue their journey to potential Premier League success with a trip to the King Power where Leicester awaits.

But up stepped January signing Jorginho whose spectacular effort rebounded off Emi Martinez to give Arsenal the lead, before Martinelli sealed the deal late on.
And the Gunners’ Saturday got even better when Nottingham Forest held Manchester City to a draw courtesy of a late Chris Wood strike.
Now in the ascendancy, Mikel Arteta will be hoping his men can build on their momentum against a Leicester side who was recently humiliated by Manchester United.
However, the Foxes put four past Champions League chasing Tottenham the last time they played in front of their home crowd – and that was after going behind.
