Leicester vs Arsenal LIVE score: Premier League result and reaction as Gabriel Martinelli wins it
The Gunners try to keep their Premier League title charge on track at King Power Stadium
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:

OFFSIDE! Saka thought he had scored Arsenal's second, but the goal is disallowed for offside. Martinelli rushes onto a pass from Odegaard and is one-on-one with the goalkeeper. Unselfish, he passes it across to Saka who has a simple finish. However, the flag goes up, with Martinelli in an offside position.
