Arsenal favourite Paul Merson says they should move for Leicester City boss Brendan Rodgers.

With current boss Unai Emery coming under increasing pressure, the North Londoners head to the King Power Stadium this weekend in what looks to be a key game in the fight for a top four finish.

"The gap is already six points to fourth and Arsenal are in a situation where they can realistically only afford to lose two more games this season to keep pace with the teams ahead of them," Merson told Sky Sports.

"And, to make matters worse, the fans are turning, they are booing, making decisions and chanting 'you don't know what you're doing'.

"That's not good, especially ahead of the two-week international break, a break in which Emery's position will be under threat if they fall to the Foxes."
