Agonizing defeat in the cup came for Leicester City last time out as a late Harry Maguire header sent Ruben Amorim’s side through to the next round. This Saturday, February 15, Ruud van Nistelrooy\u2019s side play host to an injury struck Arsenal. Here is the Leicester predicted lineup to take on Mikel Arteta’s Gunners.<\/p>\n
Last time out, the Foxes continued to set up in their 4-2-3-1 system, which saw relative success across the pitch. Mads Hermansen made it back-to-back starts at Old Trafford after returning from injury. Wout Faes and Caleb Okoli made up a centre-back partnership, with the latter putting in a much-improved performance.<\/p>\n

Argentine international Alejandro Garnacho changed the game when he came on for the second half.<\/p>\n The winger was a constant threat with his direct running against James Justin. Amorim’s side eventually found their reward as Joshua Zirkzee and Harry Maguire found the net to send their side through to the next round.<\/p>\nLeicester City\u2019s Recent Form and Tactics<\/b><\/h3>\n
