It had been a bad week for Arsenal despite the squad spending it in Dubai on the club’s mid-season break.
News broke on Wednesday that Germany international Kai Havertz had suffered a hamstring injury and the club confirmed it 24 hours later with the striker to miss the rest of the season.
With Gabriel Jesus also injured, as well as other attacking options such as Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli, it left Arsenal short up front.
Leicester had issues all over the field, not just in attack.
Ruud van Nistelrooy’s side had won just one of their previous 10 Premier League games and sat in 18th place, two points adrift of safety.
