The upshot was that the Foxes, despite failing to take a host of chances to beat West Brom, will travel to Vicarage Road with their lead at the top of the table extended to three points.
Albrighton’s team-mate Danny Drinkwater, who netted against Albion, added: “Tuesday was a point in the right direction”.
Tottenham’s Premier League record against Arsene Wenger’s Arsenal has not been great, but the home stat has been improving in recent years.
The Blues have not won three successive Premier League games since September but the Serbia worldwide says they must win their next three if they are to claim their third title in five years.
The Serbian left back said: ‘Maybe we have an advantage but the other clubs are doing so well, especially Leicester and Tottenham.
“We have to focus on our job and come back reminding ourselves that we have some quality as well”, the Arsenal manager said. Today we have the same players but with more experience. They show that too.
The defeat was the side’s second consecutive defeat following the loss to Manchster United at Old Trafford on Sunday.
They go to play big games, hype it up with their players and end up losing to the opposition and it is a circle, a vicious one at that. So they should be warned. They are not used to the pressure of a title chase and it could well get to them, so a draw on Saturday would not be the worst result in the world for Arsenal. The final straw lies with the man who is making all the moves at the top, and no we do not mean Theo Walcott who had an absolutely terrible game against United, we mean Arsene Wenger. After beating Leicester City a few weeks back, I thought that they were nearly favorites again but a poor run of form since has caused them to fall back by quite a bit.
Crystal Palace last won a Premier League match on December 19.
“The best games are when you challenge the best”.
