Arsenal will travel to the King Power Stadium this Saturday to take on Leicester City in the Premier League and this match will surely be a must-win for the Gunners.

The North London side have drawn their last two league games despite those being played at home and since they will be taking on the Foxes away from home, most pundits are not giving them too much of a chance.

Apart from the loss of home advantage, Arsenal will also be taking on a Leicester side which is beaming with confidence and so far they have lost just two games in the Premier League.

Brendan Rodgers has certainly worked wonders with the Foxes and according to Charlie Nicholas, the home side have the capability of humiliating Arsenal when the two teams meet on Saturday.

“It’s seriously worrying,” Nicholas told Sky Sports News.

“They’ve got Leicester on Saturday evening and at the moment it looks like they could blow them away.

“Arsenal fans have travelled and watched another basic performance. I like the manager a lot but I said the same with Arsene Wenger: things have to change. He [Emery] has to be stronger and sort these problems out.

“Arsenal have lost the urgency to go and win football matches. The defensive frailties have been there for 18 months, if not longer, and things need to get sorted now. Arsenal fans are starting to get pretty fed up.

“He [Emery] is certainly under scrutiny,

“I’m not calling for his head and the board won’t be calling for his head, but this isn’t Manchester United replacing Sir Alex Ferguson, it’s not at that level.

“This is Arsenal trying to find a new identity. Is this different to what Wenger got the sack for? No, it’s worse defensively.

“I think the fans are starting to turn. They are asking the same thing as I am: where is the improvement and what is the difference [to Wenger]? What is Arsenal’s personality?

“So yes, take it game by game, but if they are to lose to Leicester, the manager will come under serious, serious scrutiny.”
