Marcus Rashford double helps Manchester United beat Arsenal 3-2

They survived and this season have thrived with Claudio Ranieri at the helm – the former Chelsea boss will lead Leicester out against West Brom on Tuesday night with his team two points clear at the top of the Barclays Premier League.

The 24-year-old came off in Saturday’s 1-0 win over Norwich and is set to miss Leicester’s game against the Baggies and Watford.

Arsenal legend Paul Merson thinks the club should sack Arsene Wenger if either Tottenham Hotspur or Leicester City beat them to the Premier League title. You can achieve something new if you think match-by-match.

“This is my first game in the Premier League so obviously it’s been fantastic and to score two is a bonus so hopefully I can carry it on and do it again next game”.

He added: “He had just a little pain in his hamstring and we will check”.

Kante has proved to be one of the bargains of the season since joining from Caen for a reported £5.6million fee in August, the midfielder an integral part of a Leicester side that has defied the odds to reach the top of the league.

“You can’t always play well”, Ranieri said after watching his side register just three shots on target on Saturday, with the first recorded in the 58th minute.

He said: “It’s devastating for the group but we have to take the positives. Two matches and he can restart”, Ranieri said. But they were kept in check as Norwich played Leicester at its own game, sitting deep, and then looking to hit the opposition on the break.

“He did everything I asked of him”.

“I said before the Arsenal match that Norwich would be more hard”.

“It is important what we are doing, not the others”. I can’t tell you too much for another month. They had different people playing at centre-back with Wes Morgan – who I felt was also underrated – but their upturn coincided with Huth coming in.

That meant the Gunners squandered their good work in beating leaders Leicester seven days earlier, a win that had moved Wenger’s men second and appeared to shift the momentum of the title race in their direction.

The United manager theatrically threw himself to the ground in front of the fourth official, mocking what he thought was diving by Arsenal players during his side’s crucial 3-2 win.
