Arsenal embarrassment as Mahrez snubs Gunners
Leicester and Arsenal are badly in need of a response when they meet on Saturday evening, with two defeats on the spin fairly unthinkable for both.

Leicester City, who defied 5,000-to-1 odds to take the most unlikely title in English football history last season, fell 2-1 to Hull City – a team just promoted back to the Premier League past year.
LEICESTER assistant manager Craig Shakespeare has been appointed to a part-time role with the Sam Allardyce’s England coaching staff.
It will all feel very flat if Liverpool don’t go to Turf Moor and pick up three points – if we have top four aspirations, we have to be winning these games.
To watch a live stream of the 136th head-to-head match pitting Arsenal against the 2015-2016 season’s miracle Premier League champions Leicester City, from the Foxes’ home of King Power Stadium in the English East Midlands city of Leicester, about 90 miles north of Arsenal’s London home, use the link provided by NBC Sports Live Extra, which can be found by clicking here.
“No, no, no. We have only to prove to ourselves that we are stronger, that we want to win, ” Ranieri said.
The Foxes have no new injury concerns and Robert Huth could return in defence after serving a one-game suspension.
Wenger has a number of selection decisions to make ahead of the trip to Leicester, with Laurent Koscielny, Mesut Ozil and Olivier Giroud all having been rested for the 4-3 loss to Liverpool following their Euro 2016 exertions.
Arsenal had reportedly been trying to sign Mahrez for most of the summer transfer window, but now that he has signed an extension with Leicester City that no longer seems to be a possibility.
That Arsenal defeat was undoubtedly the biggest talking point of last week but we’re going to take a look at what’s set to create the headlines once matchday two of the 2016/17 Premier League season is finished.
Claudio Ranieri will be looking for his 100th Premier League win as a manager in this game.
Arsenal went down 4-3 to Liverpool at the Emirates as they made yet another sluggish start to a league campaign. People will say there are still 36 games left after this, but you can’t afford to fall six points behind.
It’s a similar story for Leicester because you don’t want to start off as champions and lose your first two games.
“I’ve achieved good things with this club”, Mahrez told LCFC TV.
“The challenge for them is to do well again and to show that their past year was not a one-off”, he said.

“Our football has a lot of energy, so if all the players keep their mentalities right, I think we can do something good this year”.
