Claudio Ranieri warns Leicester to stop conceding first goal as Arsenal await

“I don’t know why Arsenal have had to wait so long, because Arsène Wenger is a good manager and he brings in good players, but maybe it is not so easy to replace players such as Thierry Henry, Dennis Bergkamp, Fredrik Ljungberg and all the defenders”. “That was an unbelievable achievement, so it is surprising they have not won the league since. They don’t have weaknesses, but even if they did, I wouldn’t tell you!”

“It is bad. If I remember well I didn’t win for 13 matches”.

Ranieri made 10 changes in midweek in the Capital One Cup, but still saw his team produce the fast-flowing attacking football they have produced in the league to beat West Ham after extra-time.

Dodoo scored his fourth goal in two starts for the club as he set the Foxes on their way to victory against Slaven Bilic’s Hammers, who went into the tie on the back of an excellent early away record this term. “We must concentrate a little more“.

Maybe not the Champions League just yet, but in the league they are growing stronger. Now they are ready to fight again for the title.

‘To beat Arsenal we must do the flawless match and also with very good luck.

The teams last played in February this year and Arsenal won the game 2 – 1. I think they have a chance.

Going to take both teams to score here. Ozil, Cazorla, Sanchez and Walcott are all bound to get going and when they do Arsenal will start winning games but until then we’ll be fading the Gunners, especially on the road.

However, it is fair to say that Saturday’s clash will represent the biggest test yet for the former Monaco manager, as he takes on one of last season’s to four for the first time. So Arsenal will need to match their intensity and improve our own performance in some key areas.
