    SHOT! Leicester are very much on top in the early stages. The ball is rolled across the edge of the box to Maddison, whose shot is deflected behind for another corner.

    HEADER! Arsenal are almost caught out with a simple free-kick. They try to play the offside trap but Evans is onside to meet Maddison's cross. However, he can only head it straight at Leno.
    6'
    Arsenal counter, Aubameyang leading the charge on the left. He skips past Chilwell but sees his cross headed behind by Maguire. It's the first corner of the match but Leicester deal with it comfortably.
    5'
    Leicester enjoying a lot of possession in the early stages, as they do under Rodgers.

    Maddison floats it in, Ndidi has time and space to control it on his chest but sees his volley blocked.
    2'
    Arsenal have nine points more than at this stage last season, but they need to return to winning ways today to have any chance of finishing in the top four. They have a free-kick to defend now as Maddison wins a free-kick.

    KICK-OFF: Arsenal get us underway at the King Power Stadium.
    11:55
    Brendan Rodgers has won just two of his nine Premier League meetings with Arsenal, beating them with Swansea City in January 2012 and Liverpool in March 2014.
    11:50
    Emery: "The first target is to recover our confidence.
    "We can build on this confidence each minute, each hour, each day, each week - and above all we're training and we're looking for a big performance for the three points."

    Leicester manager Brendan Rodgers: "What is important for us if we analyse it, and take out the great season they won the title... is steady progress.
    "Next year we will look to build on that while creating a structure and identity.
    "The players see themselves as being up there in that top six and that is our challenge and is the challenge [for] other clubs as well."

    Doesn't anyone want Champions League football next season? Tottenham continued to stumble yesterday, losing 1-0 to West Ham. If Emery's side can find a way to garner the three points today, they would move a point behind Spurs with two games left to play.
    11:35
    Arsenal's away form has been nothing sort of ridiculous, winning just two matches on the road since November. They will need a victory today and probably a point against Burnley on the last day to stand any chance of taking fourth place.
    11:30
    Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang returns to the Arsenal fold following a sinus problem, replacing Mezut Ozil in the lineup with the German international missing out with a foot injury. Meanwhile, Shkodran Mustafi and Sead Kolasinac replace Nacho Monreal and Laurent Koscielny in defence.
    11:25
    One change for Leicester from the side that drew 2-2 with West Ham last weekend, with Hamza Choudhury replacing Demarai Gray.
