I'm not sure how reliable this is. Ozil Leaving in the summer?

I understand that real Madrid put a clause in the contract when they sold him to us that we can't sell him to Barcelona.

He's very happy in London. I think we will agree a new contract with him.

I have no idea if there's any truth behind it but could any of us really be surprised if there was? Ambition is the one thing you could never accuse the club of having. I'm not sure why any world class player would want to suffer through more Wenger under achievement if a better option became available.

Not sure its reliable at all but I wouldn't be unduly surprised if it diud happen.

Me neither, I'd be gutted to see him go, he's a class player.

Its b0ll0cks.

In any case, the fact we're playing Barca in a couple of weeks is a tad convinient, doncha think...

I thought this posting was a tad harsh. In past couple of years there have been significant improvements. We need to sustain them and keep up the pressure in this regard.

I would hardly suggest they are 'suffering'...the fact that Arsene is the manager probably played a part in attracting the likes of Sanchez and Ozil to Arsenal in the first place. Anyway win tomorrow and we're 2 points off the top, still in the cup and got Barcelona in the Champions League in a weeks time...All to play for

Anyone else remember a midday kick off for Arsenal in recent times? Anyway, we just better be awake

#Arsenal XI to face #LCFC: Cech, Bellerin, Mertesacker, Koscielny, Monreal, Coquelin, Ramsey, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Ozil, Sanchez, Giroud

Good to see Coquelin back but Merteacker too? Vardy will be licking his lips at at the prospect of playing against him although he will be better suited to deal with Huth at corners.

EDIT: Gabriel ruled out with a hamstring injury otherwise would have probably started.

Ox keeps his place ahead of Walcott and Campbell. Shame Walcott is out of form otherwise he probably would have started ahead of Giroud.

COYG!

Mert will get eaten alive by Vardy & Mahrez. Campbell hasn't done anything wrong, it's a bit harsh that he's been dropped for the Ox, who's been a bit crap lately.

How strange when not many people think we have a chance of beating Leicester at home.

Why on earth bring in Mertesacker of all people when he'll be up against Vardi ??

Gabriel is injured.

Would be nice if we started the way we did against Utd - as the longer the match goes on the likelihood is us scoring diminishes as the crowd get tense etc.

Good fast start. We look up for it.

Leicester starting to find form.

Coquelin's passing is much better than Flamini's. Helps start our attacks better.

We need the first goal.

Too open and very careless out of possession.

Kante doing a Vieira in midfield.

Kante having a great game.

Think it looks like being one of those days

Poor defending.

Lol vardy runs away from the direction of the ball to catch the leg.

Not a single shot on target in 45 minutes.

The odds just lengthened after that goal.

Mountain to climb now.
