While answering questions from the media ahead of tomorrow's game, the former Liverpool handler was quoted by Complete Sport saying:

“There may be a question mark on Ricardo Pereira. He felt a bit tight. Ayoze Perez has had a bug so he was kept away today. Apart from that, all the players (including Ndidi) are fit and healthy.“

Meanwhile, both Leicester and Arsenal are on 14 points each going to the game at King Power Stadium on Saturday, October 30 and the outcome of the game will definitely affect either side at the end of the day.
