Arsenal 2-1 Leicester City: Laurent Koscielny and Theo Walcott strike for Gunners

Laurent Koscielny and Theo Walcott put the Gunners 2-0 up, but Andrej Kramaric pulled one back and the visitors continued to create plenty of chances in an impressive performance.


Wenger’s side held on to take victory and move up to fourth - for 24 hours at least - but the Arsenal boss had words of encouragement for the side propping up the Premier League pack.
“We played against a very good team,” he said. “We’re surprised that this team is bottom of the league – I knew that before the game.

“We could see again today that they’re a strong side, and if they can not panic and keep believing in what they are doing, I believe they will get out.
“I feel Nigel Pearson does a good job there. It’s amazing that suddenly you hear that they want to get rid of him. I think if they’re strong and keep together they have a good chance.”

The Gunners’ victory was their fourth in five matches and has seen them move right back into the heart of the battle for Champions League qualification.

Chelsea won't sign new players - Jose Mourinho

Chelsea will make no signings in the January transfer window, says manager Jose Mourinho. The team has enough capable and balanced players to even out in the coming competitions. The Blues have six matches before January 1, with the first starting today against Hull City. Mourinho plans to rest his senior players for this Yuletide season, saying he is doubtful any one player should appear in all the six matches. The manager has granted his European-based players a two-day 'holiday' to rest and 'have a nice dinner with their families'. The former Real Madrid manager's side meets Hull City in the Premier league today. Petr Cech will replace injured skipper goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois in the Hull City face-off. Cesc Fabregas is ruled out for suspension and midfielder Nemanja Matic joins the squad after ban.
