Claudio Ranieri staggered at Arsenal’s title drought since his time at Chelsea
Anyway, all you have to do to win this brilliant JustArsenal T-Shirt is to make three simple predictions about the Arsenal game at the King Power Stadium tomorrow.
There is certainly value in backing Leicester as 3/1 shots to earn a win here. However, the Italian has settled superbly in the midlands and has led Leicester to an unbeaten start to the 2015/16 campaign.
With Arsenal looking to climb up the table, we predict the starting lineup for the Gunners.
While Leicester will enter this match with some wind in their sails after they stole a 2-2 draw away to Stoke City last week thanks to goals from Riyad Mahrez and Jamie Vardy.
The Gunners returned to winning ways on Wednesday with a 2-1 League Cup win at north London rivals Tottenham Hotspur.
Leicester’s start to the season has been quite remarkable.
Claudio Ranieri is surprised Arsenal have not lifted the Premier League since the “invincibles” beat the former Chelsea manager to the title during his final season at Stamford Bridge in 2004.
“And if they stop Arsenal from scoring, they can have extra toppings”.
The talking point of the match was a clash between Chelsea striker Diego Costa and Arsenal defender Gabriel. Now, the new Leicester City boss finds himself as the definite underdog in this particular battle. I want to joke, but when we work, I change my face and my voice and they understand that now is the right moment to work’. Maybe not the Champions League just yet, but in the league they are growing stronger.
“I think he has had 31 shots on goal since the start of the season and with his finishing qualities that should allow him five to six goals”. Ranieri added “But now, again, Arsenal is a very good team we respect a lot…smart, fast, technical, everything”.
It’s clear that Ranieri regards his opposition as potential title-winners. The game looked set for a penalty shootout before Andy King headed a victor for Leicester in the 116th minute. “We responded well to the challenge we faced, mentally and physically”, he said.
‘I watched a very good team on Tuesday night. The win was particularly welcome after back-to-back defeats, including a 2-0 reversal at the hands of Chelsea last weekend.
