Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger acknowledged that next Sunday's clash at
home to Premier League leaders Leicester City is a "must-win" for his
title-chasing team.
The Gunners won for the first time in five league matches
by beating Bournemouth 2-0 on Sunday thanks to first-half goals from Mesut Ozil
and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain.
That result put Arsenal above Manchester City and into
third in the Premier League, but they still trail Leicester by five
points.
Wenger knows the importance of the game as part of a
crucial weekend that will also see second-placed Tottenham take on title rivals
City.
"It is another must-win game," Wenger told Sky
Sports. "We play at home, we will have our fans behind us and of course we
are playing now against one of the favourites for the Premier League.
"We of course look at their strong points to make a
strong defensive performance against them. We have to prepare now."
When asked who should be considered favourites to win the
match, Wenger replied: "Favourites do not have great meaning.
"The only thing you can say is it is a big game, a
very important one for the Premiership as well. It is a very big weekend for
the Premiership because of the big games next week so let's prepare and win it.
