Foxes still looking for win

Arsenal are a little bruised up after their dramatic 2-2 draw against Manchester City last week.

The Gunners went down to 10 men before halftime after Leandro Trossard was sent off and they spent the majority of the second period on the back foot. City eventually equalised deep into injury time.

On Saturday, they face Leicester, still looking for a win.
