Arsenal Forward Eddie Nketiah doubled the Home team’s lead in the 69th minute after a Creative Mix-up by the Arsenal Midfield. The Gunners picked up an important victory at the Emirates Stadium before they travel to Leicester this weekend. Mikel Arteta’s side will take on 9th placed Leicester City in the Premier League this Saturday as Callum Chambers could start in Place of Ben White.
“With Ben and with some others, we lost Pablo as well today, he was going to start and he couldn’t start because he had a bug. I think something happened around here, he wasn’t feeling great in the second half and we decided to take him off. Hopefully in the next few days they can feel better and be available for Leicester.
