Leicester still looking for 1st win, draws 0-0 with Arsenal

Arsenal had the better of the opening period, looking risky in attack, testing the reigning Premier League champions’ defence.

The Foxes face Arsenal on Saturday and have defender Robert Huth available after serving a three-game suspension.

Arsenal have quite a few injury problems.

Mahrez’s goal could not prevent a 2-1 defeat at Hull on the opening day, and Arsenal are this weekend’s visitors to the King Power Stadium.

Drinkwater was left out of England’s final Euro 2016 squad in favour of Jack Wilshere, despite helping the Foxes to the Premier League title and the Arsenal man playing just 141 minutes last season, and he wants a return.

It only added to the growing calls for Gunners boss Arsene Wenger – who was urged to spend by the travelling fans – to find a new striker as the visitors never capitalised on their territorial dominance. The 29 year old declined the chance to move to a traditional powerhouse to stay with the team that made him great and see what more he could do there.

“He has been outstanding if you look at his numbers”. His composure of last season, however, wasn’t there, with his effort high and wide of Cech’s goal. Join The Roar from 2:30am (AEST) for live scores.

The Leicester striker chose to reject Arsenal earlier this summer after the Gunners made a £20m offer for the centre-forward, who scored 24 times in 36 Premier League games last term. Losing in front of the home crowd at the start of the season?

Kasper Schmeichel cut out Arsenal’s best opportunity in the second half, with Mesut Ozil, making his season debut off the bench, combining with Alexis Sanchez only to have the Leicester goalkeeper slide it to safety.

Leicester City 0-0 Arsenal: At least we didn’t lose – The Short Fuse “The end result was likely a fair one as Arsenal dominated much of the match and Leicester threatening late”. Claudio Ranieri has admitted that this season will be hard and that their chances to repeat as Champions are slim.

The coach also noted: “Aaron Ramsey should be back after the worldwide break”.
