Arsenal travel to Champions Leicester City as the Gunners look for their first win of the Premier League season following a disastrous result at home to Liverpool.
However, Wenger refused to confirm whether the club were snubbed by another Leicester player, following Jamie Vardy rejecting to join Arsenal earlier in the summer. The result of that: a year ago, I defended like a insane person.
Leicester’s players can not say they were not warned as the champions lick their wounds after Saturday’s embarrassing 2-1 defeat at crisis club Hull City.
“We are now in the Champions League and we need something more to play against the big teams”, Ranieri said. We are strong and we believe. It’s normal other managers are looking at Leicester players, there’s no message – we are building and want to stay together.
Likewise, Arsenal will be depending on their wealth of global experience in the form of Alexis Sanchez and Mesut Ozil to stabilise the ship and launch an assault on the Premier League title.
With Wes Morgan standing out at the heart of the defense, Leicester sported a relentless work rate reminiscent of last season, something which they lacked in their 2-1 season-opening loss at Hull.
Leicester City have all to prove that their Premier League win last season was not a one-off victory and that they are well equipped to put in a good title defence.
“I think we made one or two mistakes at the back that we are not used to making”. “It is better news than we feared at the start”.
