Wenger asks fans not to protest during Leicester game

Arsenal fans must bemoan their side’s lack of ruthlessness – they should be comfortably leading the table, but sit only a point above fourth.

I totally understand why, and I am not suggesting they need to change anything because I actually think they will win playing that way, but it will be fascinating to see if Leicester can prove people wrong yet again.

A footballer’s route to the summit of the Premier League can take varying guises, but few have been quicker or more unexpected than N’Golo Kante’s, the Frenchman who has become one of the symbols of this season’s remarkable Leicester City story. It’s a little bit like their faith. “I don’t know how they will respond to that”.

If Claudio Ranieri’s team of freewheelers win and Tottenham Hotspur draw with Man City, their lead will be seven points.

“We have to look more at ourselves.

They had lost their confidence, belief, and momentum, so that’s got them back on track and a win on Sunday would get them more firmly back on track”.

In the year 2016AD, the city of Leicester gave unto the world a shock of biblical proportions! .

During the Premier League era, Tottenham haven’t dared dream about winning the title; a cup and league stability is always the extent of their aim.

Sanchez has recently made his return from a hamstring injury and will be hoping to start Sunday’s game at The Emirates.

“Time to think can be a disadvantage if you don’t use your thinking in a positive way, and the pressure is on”, Wenger said. “When you play at Arsenal Football Club, that’s what you want”.

“It’s true that their strength is to go very quickly in transition from defence to offence and that we have to nullify that pace and their counter-attacking potential”, Wenger said. This is the kind of game we want – the kind of game we relish.

Arsenal won the reverse fixture 5-2 back in September, which in retrospect seems like the result of the season, a supreme feat of giant-slaying.

“They are certainly more convinced of their quality, the strength of that belief. But certainly their belief has been strengthened”, Wenger said.

Ranieri has never beaten Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger in a domestic competition, but won 2-1 at Highbury as Chelsea boss in the 2004 Champions League quarterfinals.

Argentine striker Sergio Agüero scored a consolation goal for the Citizens three minutes before full time to put his team on board, but it was not enough to overcome Leicester’s dominance in the match.

“I don’t think we are on the same level ground as foreign clubs”.

In midfield, N’Golo Kante has been one of the stars of the season and deservedly gets in that defensive midfield role, though his quality on the ball makes him a superb all-rounder.
