Arsene Wenger demands Arsenal focus against Leicester City

Wenger demands Arsenal focus

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has demanded "complete focus" from his players ahead of Tuesday's visit of Leicester City in the Premier League.

The Gunners saw their hopes for a top-four finish suffer a setback on the weekend with a 2-1 defeat at rivals Tottenham Hotspur.

With Leicester scrapping away at the bottom of the table, Wenger believes that Arsenal will need to be fully committed if they want to beat the Foxes.

"[Leicester] look like a team who plays in the Premier League and fights to survive in the Premier League," he told the club's official website. "That means it demands a complete focus from us and that we respond very strongly to our defeat on Saturday.

"We had a very strong run just before Saturday. We just want to continue that and respond very strongly to the disappointment. It's about performance on the day and because the Premier League is tight, the difference between the teams is very small."

Arsenal are currently in sixth place in the Premier League standings, two points adrift of the Champions League positions.
