‘Leicester eyeing back-to-back upsets’

Leicester City have no fear about the weekend’s Premier League away matchup with third-placed Arsenal and have their eyes on another major upset, winger Marc Albrighton said.

Claudio Ranieri’s Leicester stunned Manch-ester City at the Etihad Stadium last weekend, winning 3-1 to open up a five-point gap between themselves and second-placed Tottenham Hotspur with 13 games left in the campaign.

Albrighton said Leicester had shown Arsenal too much respect in the reverse fixture earlier this season, when the Foxes lost 5-2 at the King Power Stadium.

“We have not feared anyone we have played this season. In a couple of games, we have probably showed teams a bit too much respect and they are the games where we have come unstuck,” Albrighton told British media.

“But there is no fear at all. We are confident. There is no reason why we can’t go there and cause another upset.”

‘Ozil and Sanchez vital to title push’

“Game changers” Mesut Ozil and Alexis Sanchez will have to play pivotal roles if Arsenal are to end their 12-year wait for a EPL title, midfielder Tomas Rosicky said.

Sanchez is one of the most feared wingers in the league, having scored 16 goals in his debut season with the North London side. Ozil scored four goals but has firmly established himself as one of the world’s top creative talents, having set up a league-high 16 assists already this campaign. “Him (Ozil) and Alexis are the game changers. Both of them have the strength to win games, so it’s vital for the team’s title chances that they perform well.”
