Arteta expects more goals from Xhaka in Arsenal's title chase

Arsenal will look to continue their Premier League title charge when Mikel Arteta’s side travel to Leicester today.

The Gunners were defeated by title rivals Manchester City last week and then trailed at Aston Villa, with their title challenge seemingly hitting a major roadblock.

But Arsenal turned it around in dramatic style, as Jorginho’s late shot hit the crossbar and rebounded in off former goalkeeper Emi Martinez, who went missing as Gabriel Martinelli wrapped up a 4-2 win.

Oleksandr Zinchenko was named Arsenal captain for their trip to Leicester in a mark of respect on the first anniversary of the conflict in Ukraine. The Ukraine international was named in a side showing just one change from the victory at Villa as Martinelli returned in place of Eddie Nketiah.

We will bring you all the action and updates from today's game in the live blog below:

Down the left flank, Dewsbury-Hall beats Jorginho before putting the ball into the box. However, his cross is poor, with Martinelli able to head it away.
