Leicester: Foxes can’t count on Arsenal comeback – Ranieri

Only once in the 18 Barclays Premier League meetings between these two sides have Arsenal failed to score against Leicester City. Leicester City have not beaten Arsenal since their debut season in 1994/95, drawing six times and losing on 11 occasions since. Two weeks ago, everybody was raving about Man City and now, two weeks later, they are not playing the same way.

The Magpies are without a win so far this season, and Steve McClaren is getting loads of stick from all corners for his side’s lacklustre performances.

Arsenal are in fifth place, yes, and they did just beat bitter rivals Tottenham in the League Cup in midweek.

They cried when Francis Coquelin got injured and wailed like babies when Mathieu Flamini went off with a hamstring problem in the first half.

Spurs keeper Hugo Lloris will not be looking forward to the game. Can Vardy and Mahrez stun Wenger’s men?

“At Leicester, there’s a fantastic link between our fans and the team”.

With his winning goal against Arsenal last weekend, Hazard has now hit the back of the net 50 times for Chelsea. It’s always a great team.

‘My players come to the training ground with a laugh, but when we work, they’re very serious. Every match is my biggest challenge – this is my philosophy.

Ranieri hopes they can continue their fine form when they host Arsenal on Saturday: “We are only thinking about Arsenal”. These are the two main explanations for me.

After a lengthy on-field row, Gabriel was sent off seconds before half-time for kicking out at Costa. Once again only one player started for Arsenal who also saw 90 minutes in their Premier League match, that being Aaron Ramsey. The Spanish striker was given a retrospective three-match ban for violent conduct during Chelsea’s 2-0 win over Arsenal.

Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester City have had the widest spread of nationalities to score a Premier League goal for them. On this occasion, here are the top 10 goals scored by the Belgian maestro so far in a blue shirt. The Welshman played a grueling match against Spurs on Wednesday, but he can’t afford to let fatigue get the better of him in this match.

“I’m more than happy with that”.

“It was important because it was a derby. We did a great job and now we can start the new week”.

On one hand, he did not tinker with the attacking brand of football that turned around Leicester’s fortunes so spectacularly under Pearson towards the end of last season, but he has also integrated new signings including Shinji Okazaki, Gokhan Inler, Nathan Dyer and N’Golo Kante.

Sanchez made it 3-1 in th 58th minute after he headed in an Ozil cross.

He came on for a brief cameo in the 5-1 win against Ipswich, but had to wait until Tuesday night’s 2-1 defeat against Everton in the League Cup for his first start.
