Arsenal legend Charlie Nicholas believes that it is time to drop Matteo Guendouzi.

The Sky Sports pundit believes that Guendouzi is "having a shocker," and should have his place taken by another player.

But Nicholas does believe that the club's highest earner, Mesut Ozil, should keep his place in the team.

Arsenal face a pivotal Premier League game away to Leicester City, with some suggesting a loss could cause manager Unai Emery's sacking.

Nichols told Sky Sports: "Kieran Tierney needs to work on his final ball and this is important to get the service into the frontmen.

"Matteo Guendouzi is having a shocker and he is getting away with it due to Xhaka - he needs to be taken out of the team. I would rather Unai Emery go with Ainsley Maitland-Niles and Lucas Torreira.

"Mesut Ozil played well so he should stay in the side ahead of Dani Ceballos, while bringing Nicolas Pepe in for the counter-attack. I am not feeling good about this one."
