Arsenal FC v/s Leicester City: Lineups, Stats, Prediction And Odds
Claudio Ranieri says his Leicester City side is pressure-free heading into a potential title decider against Arsenal.
Coach Claudio Ranieri will benefit from winning the Premier League crown, as the Italian will get an extra £100,000 per place above 17th and £1.7 million if the Foxes win the title.
“It is true we get more television income, that is down to the audience and success but as well it is down to the pressure of the market to pay for players at a higher price”, he said. “Is it possible? Why not?”
Bacary Sagna still believes Manchester City are the best team in the league as they approach another big game.
Leicester are now 5/2 favourites to win the league with bookmakers.
“We try for that, in our plan from the beginning of the season, from the pre-season, to try to provide the tools to the players to be consistent during the whole season”.
We have not feared anyone we have played this season. “The pressure is about the other teams”, Rainier said.
“I hope I can keep up that form on Sunday and hopefully help us win this match, but we know it won’t be easy”.
Wenger also feels any similar fan protest during Sunday’s game would not affect his side – with many suggesting Liverpool’s players negatively reacted to the mass Anfield walk-out as they let a two-goal lead slip.
Meanwhile, Samir Nasri hopes to end his career at Manchester City despite the club replacing the injury-plagued midfielder with young striker Kelechi Iheanacho in their Champions League squad for the knockout rounds earlier this month. Melchiot: “Yes I am and I’m sure a lot of people are because last season Leicester just survived relegation”.

According to BBC Sport, Manuel Pellegrini believes Sunday’s game will be very important to the tail-end of the season.
“If they had lost you would have said no, they can’t do it. But these two games were the turning point in their season”.
Wenger went on to give information about who will be available for the game, and the injury front.
“I don’t know if I started to be more serious, but after the death of my dad things started to go for me”, he told The Guardian in September. “We relish that and we want to go into the game and show what we are capable of”.
“Oxlade-Chamberlain has the power, the technique and is able to not only score goals, but he can create also”, said Wenger. The best example I can think of that in the past 25 years is at Manchester United, when they had Gary Neville and David Beckham.
