Mesut Ozil was not needed against Tottenham. But after a rather embarrassing match up against Chelsea, he is going to want to make a strong impression. Not so much to prove it to Wenger, who will never bench the German, but to prove it to himself.

Ozil is a master technician and may find that Leicester’s midfield is ripe for the pickings.

Any time you can find a ‘golden opportunity’ for Theo Walcott, it is cause to be excited. Remember West Brom? That was a golden opportunity. Walcott has exactly such an opportunity against Leicester as their defensive pairing may be big and hulking. But they are slow. Walcott’s runs, if picked out, could be absolutely debilitating for the Foxes.
