Arsenal will find it hard to stop Leicester when the two sides meet at the Emirates Stadium this Sunday, according to Mesut Ozil.

A 3-1 win over Manchester City at the weekend moved the Foxes five points clear at the top of the Premier League table ahead of this weekend's clash with Arsenal, who currently occupy third place.

"It will be incredibly difficult to stop them," Ozil told SID. "They were up 3-0 at Manchester City after 60 minutes. It's brilliant what they accomplish with their team.

"You have to have the greatest respect for that.

"Our job is to at least for now get Leicester off this unbelievable wave of euphoria.

"That Leicester lead the Premier League by this margin in February is one of the biggest surprises in the European top flights in the past few years."
