Leicester City coach Craig Shakespeare has refused to join the criticism of Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger.

Shakespeare, who will take the Foxes to Arsenal on Wednesday, insists that despite his recent shortcomings, Wenger is still held in really high esteem in the football world.

He said: "It's what, eight FA Cup finals and never finished outside the top four?

"It's still a decent record.

"From football people, coaches and managers, whenever you go on courses, he is held in really high esteem."
