The top-of-the-table Foxes saw off Manchester City at the Etihad last weekend, and face another test of their title credentials against the Gunners.Arsenals victory over Bournemouth was their first win in five league games, and with five points separating the two sides at kick-off, former Leicester and Arsenal striker Smith told Sky Sports News HQ Sundays match could prove crucial come the end of the season.

They just cant get over the line against their London rivals.As a wider issue - are they mentally strong enough now to push on, to beat Leicester on Sunday, and to push on again during the difficult away games to come? Are they strong enough to get their talent across? Thats still the big question for me.

Smith tips Gabriel to keep his place in defence, with Mertesacker on the bench It was actually Arsenal counter-attacking Leicester at the King Power, Smith continued. Theo Walcott was in the team through the middle, as well as Alexis Sanchez, but its a different story when youre playing at home.
