Leicester city manager said they must be perfect as they host Arsenal at the King Power Stadium on Saturday.

Leicester have been one of the surprises of the season so far and, as the only unbeaten side in the division, sit fourth in the Barclays Premier League table with 12 points from six matches, two points clear of fifth-placed Arsenal.

And the Leicester manager is hopeful Leicester can spring a surprise if they are at their best.
"We are only thinking about Arsenal. We are ready, but they are a smart and fast team. They will fight for the title," Ranieri said. "To beat Arsenal we must play the perfect match. They don't have weaknesses, but even if they did, I wouldn't tell you."

Barca coach says team has learned its leason from celta vigo



Luis Enrique appeared Friday in the pressroom at the Ciutat Esportiva Joan Gamper to talk about Saturday's match against Las Palmas at Camp Nou. Without much time to analyse the last game against Celta, the Barça skipper said he hopes "the loss in Vigo teaches us how tough it is to win." He said he was aware that the team needs to improve in many areas, but was cautious: "What we look at is how much offense the team generates.
As far as effectiveness, it's been tougher for us than usual." Nevertheless, Luis Enrique wanted to be clear. "I have no doubt that it is a temporary issue," he emphasised. "The team will score goals."

He also said that the team has to improve defensively and give up fewer goals. He also defended his goalkeepers: "It would be very easy to call out individual errors, but we look at it as a team issue ... Goalkeepers don't give up goals [by themselves], the whole team does," he added

Liverpool setup £19.5m for Wing WIZARD as potential Raheem Sterling replacement

aily Star claiming that the club’s interest in the Ukraine international is based on fears that youngster Raheem Sterling may elect to seek an Anfield exit.Yarmolenko played a key role in his side’s Europa League win over Everton last week and may well be tempted by a move to the Premier League.

A number of Premier League sides are seemingly keen on Yarmolenko, with the Daily Star claiming that Man United, Chelsea, West Ham and Newcastle United are all interested in the 25 year old.
Man City are said to be tracking Sterling, who is yet to put pen to paper on a new Liverpool contract, and as such it’s perhaps unsurprising that Brendan Rodgers is eyeing up a potential replacement.

UEFA has fined both Inter and Celtic after fans let off fireworks during the second leg of their Europa League last 32 meeting.
Last month's game at San Siro finished 1-0 in Inter's favour, as Roberto Mancini's side sealed their place in the last 16 by virtue of a 4-3 aggregate scoreline.
