Charlie Nicholas has admitted his concerns for Arsenal when they travel to Leicester in the Premier League on Saturday.

Heading into the Premier League clash at the King Power Stadium, the Gunners already sit six points behind high-flying Leicester in the race for top four.

And former Arsenal forward Nicholas claims the club's defensive frailties could get massively exposed against Leicester, who are shining under Brendan Rodgers.

'It's seriously worrying,' Nicholas told Sky Sports News. 'They've got Leicester on Saturday evening and at the moment it looks like they could blow them away.

'Arsenal fans have travelled and watched another basic performance. I like the manager a lot but I said the same with Arsene Wenger: things have to change. He [Emery] has to be stronger and sort these problems out.

'Arsenal have lost the urgency to go and win football matches. The defensive frailties have been there for 18 months, if not longer, and things need to get sorted now. Arsenal fans are starting to get pretty fed up.'
