Arsenal manager Unai Emery believes their clash against Leicester City is a must win game.

The Gunners are already falling behind in the race for the top four, as they travel to third placed Leicester.

Emery knows that his team must emerge from their recent malaise and pick up a crucial away win.

But they will have to do so without Granit Xhaka, who is still not ready to rejoin the squad.

"Yes - we need to win. It's very important for us tomorrow," Emery said in his press conference.

"Our mentality every time is to play fast, be strong and win. Each match we only think to win.

"I was speaking with the players on Tuesday about our next steps to improve. There are two ways.

"One is to play better with the ball, play with more confidence in our style and take more responsibility on the pitch.

"The second is our defensive attitude and to be strong. Getting better defensively is the first challenge for tomorrow."
