“We have very good players,” said manager Claudio Ranieri. “It’s normal for other managers to look at Leicester players. But we want to continue and stay together.”
There has been no such pick-me-up for Arsenal after their defeat to Liverpool, although manager Arsene Wenger says the club are “ready to spend” this month. “It’s not my money. It’s important to spend money the right way,” he said.
Arsenal beat Leicester both home and away in the league last season.
Team news
The Foxes have no new injury concerns and Robert Huth could return in defence after serving a one-game suspension.
