The England international is preferred to the Frenchman to lead the Gunners attack, as Wenger keeps faith in his new formation for the Foxes' visit
Theo Walcott has been handed the chance to shine ahead of Olivier Giroud in a must-win Premier League clash for Arsenal against Leicester City.
The England international is one of four changes made by Arsene Wenger from the team that downed Manchester City in the FA Cup semi-final.
He will start up front as a lone striker, with Alexis Sanchez and Mesut Ozil supporting as Wenger continues with a 3-4-2-1 set-up on Tuesday.
