‘We can beat favourites Leicester’

Arsène Wenger is confident that Arsenal can get the
better of title "favourites" Leicester City when the
teams meet at Emirates Stadium next weekend.
The Gunners are back on track in the Premier League
after goals from Mesut Ozil and Alex Oxlade-
Chamberlain - just 88 seconds apart - saw off
Bournemouth on Sunday.
Wenger's team have climbed above Manchester City
and they will try to cut Leicester's lead to two points
on Valentine's Day.
Gabriel has done well. He has performed well
and overall I think the confidence comes with
games, which is interesting
Arsène Wenger
"[Beating Bournemouth] is very good for the future
as we now have a very big game at home against
Leicester who are now the favourites for the Premier
League," Wenger told Arsenal Player. "[A win] can
maybe prepare you in a better condition for the next
game.
"We have a week to prepare for that and I have to
think about it. Leicester is a strong side but we are
also a strong side. At home with our fans and
support, we can do it."
Wenger praised Gabriel and Oxlade-Chamberlain
after the win at Bournemouth after the Brazilian
defender contributed to a clean sheet and the
England international scored his first Premier League
goal away from the Emirates.
"Oxlade-Chamberlain has the power, the technique
and he is able to score goals but he can create also,"
said Wenger. "Usually he is unlucky [with his
shooting] but maybe that will convince him that he
should take more chances.
"Gabriel has done well. He has performed well and
overall I think the confidence comes with games,
which is interesting."
