Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta believes opposition teams now show them more respect.

Arteta believes Leicester's game plan last weekend was a sign of respect to his Arsenal side.

The Foxes secured their first win away to Arsenal in 47 years thanks to Jamie Vardy's late header.

Arteta said: “We've improved on a lot of things in my opinion and we have all the stats to show that.

“Our thinking after Leicester, the reason why they did what they did in their game plan, to sit so low against us when they are not normally a team that do that – they've been really dominant and play really attractive football – I came to the conclusion that we have the respect from other teams for them to do that.

“Now we have to try to change our strategy a little bit and try to train against more certain blocks that I think are going to happen a bit more often."
