Arsenal host Barclays Premier League leaders Manchester United on Sunday, but that will not impact on Wenger’s team selection, although goalkeeper David Ospina could again be preferred to Petr Cech. Then, the national team called him and he had another confident reaction.

His pace on the ball has always anxious defenders and now he is developing conviction in front of goal to give goalkeepers the jitters too. He is a good finisher, and that is what Alex has to learn from him.
Walcott and Sanchez work well together, combining their pace and invention. “As long as he keeps doing that, I’m sure he’s going to keep progressing as a player and helping this team”.
“They are well organised and have some players who know the Premier League, like (Esteban) Cambiasso and (Pajtim) Kasami who both played in England”.
Wenger’s Arsenal, Manchester City and Manchester United all crashed to defeat in their opening Champions League games.
“We struggled defensively [at Leicester] but I’d say we got back to our striking force and more than four goals is something very special”.
“We are prepared to get the best result we can”.
“When we were in a high intensity game at Leicester, they were safe after 20 minutes”. Vardy scored with a finish of Thierry Henry quality and hit the woodwork twice.
Many still remember the “Invincible Gunners” who went through the 2004 season undefeated, that ended with them winning the league title that season and fans will he hoping for something similar this season. The manager was proved right, as Sanchez scored a fantastic treble. The Chile forward was Arsenal’s leading scorer last season but had been without a goal in a frustrating start to this campaign.
As Ranieri stated, losing to an Arsenal side in this form is no shame.
Prediction: Olympiakos are fairly canny operators at this level and have the ability to make life hard for Arsenal.
Mourinho was also angry at the Football Association’s decision to retrospectively ban Diego Costa for three matches following last weekend’s 2-0 win over Arsenal, while Gabriel’s red card in the same match was rescinded.
6) Vardy’s incredible run continues.
