We examine Alexis Sanchezs importance to Arsenal ahead of their Super Sunday clash with Premier League leaders Leicester City. A. J. Cann Jersey ... Leicester will not be looking forward to another meeting with Alexis Sanchez. The Chileans brilliant hat-trick inspired Arsenal to their emphatic 5-2 win at the King Power Stadium in September, and he will be central to their hopes of closing the gap on Claudio Ranieiris side on Sunday.Sanchezs goals that afternoon were his first of the season after an eight-game scoreless run, and Arsene Wenger declared him back at his best in his post-match press conference. The Arsenal manager was vindicated as the 27-year-old embarked on a run of 10 goals in six games for club and country, including a double in the Gunners 3-0 win over Manchester United. Alexis Sanchez scored his first Arsenal hat-trick against Leicester The season has taken plenty of twists and turns since then, but there are parallels between the two encounters for Sanchez, who is once again bidding to rediscover his best form. He did find the net in Arsenals recent FA Cup win over Burnley, but has gone eight league games without scoring - a drought punctuated by a two-month injury lay-off between November and January. Arsenal to outfox them? The story of Arsenals 5-2 win over leaders Leicester in September. Can they repeat it? Sanchez struggled to make an impact in Arsenals 2-0 win over Bournemouth on Sunday, but there have been encouraging signs since he returned to the side with a lively cameo in their 1-0 defeat by Chelsea on January 24, and Wenger saw his time out as a blessing in disguise after a gruelling summer of Copa America duty with Chile. Alexis Sanchez made his first appearance since November against Chelsea Hes had a long rest now, the Arsenal manager said after Sanchez struck the winning goal against Burnley. When he got injured, you could see signs of fatigue but two months rest I think is a good winter break.The benefits were certainly plain to see against Southampton, who somehow escaped the Emirates Stadium with a goalless draw despite dazzling displays by Sanchez and Mesut Ozil. Hes one of the players who is difficult to stop because they have such high qualities, Ronald Koeman said of Sanchez. Hes fast, and technically, hes perfect. Ramsey: Leicester remarkable Arsenal will need to be right on it to slow Leicesters title charge, says Aaron Ramsey. Sanchezs elite technical quality is only half of what he brings. His tireless, all-action playing style rubs off on his team-mates, and Wenger has talked up his leadership, too. Hes a guy who likes big games, and for me that is the most important thing in a big player, he once said. Its a kind of leadership on the pitch. He does not say out of the game: I want to do this, I want to do that, but on the pitch hes a leader.

He is the guy who can change the course of a game, Sky Sports pundit Thierry Henry said earlier this season. I love the way he plays. He plays with his heart and I know the fans love that about him. When you have a guy like Alexis Sanchez, it is the X-factor. Sanchez was instrumental in Arsenals win over Leicester earlier in the season It could be argued that Ozil - with his four goals and 16 assists in 23 Premier League appearances - is even more important to Arsenals title aspirations, but he is at his most effective alongside Sanchez. Against Southampton and Bournemouth the duo exchanged more passes than anyone else on the pitch, and it is no coincidence that they were two of Ozils finest displays this season. Its also notable how much the German has improved since Sanchez joined him at the Emirates - and hes not the only one. Were lucky to have Alexis with us - Ive always said that, said Santi Cazorla in November. Hes one of the best players in the world. Playing alongside Alexis is a privilege and its really easy to understand him on the pitch.

He is first for shots and dribbles per game in the Premier League, second for goals scored and third for chances created per game behind Ozil and Cazorla.Sanchezs high-risk style means he also loses possession more frequently than any of his team-mates (18.5 times per game on average), but the rewards speak for themselves. If youre an Arsenal fan, we were all waiting for that type of match-winner, added Henry. City bottom of top-six table But where do Arsenal and Leicester rank? After recharging his batteries and working his way back to full fitness, Arsenal can expect an even greater contribution from Sanchez in the final months of the season. A repeat of his last performance against Leicester would be a perfect way to start.Watch Arsenal v Leicester live on Sky Sports 1HD from 11.30am on Sunday Also See: Arsenal to outfox them?

Perhaps the bookies have been too busy ogling Australias stunning meltdowns in Perth and Hobart, for its fair to say that Englands improbably strong showing in the first Test at Rajkot hasnt shifted many preconceptions about the eventual outcome of their series against India.The 5-0 whitewash may now be out of the question, but India remain 1/5 favourites with Bet365 to seal the series victory. England, at 17/2 in what is now a four-match shootout (they were 11/1 this time last week) remain a tempting option given the success of both their batsmen and spin bowlers in the series opener.On that note, the market for Man of the Match at Visakhapatnam throws up some interesting odds. Adil Rashid swiped the spoils at Rajkot with his haul of seven wickets, and he is 12/1 to repeat that feat - not a bad shout if he can bounce to the crease with the same verve that he displayed in the series opener.And what about Alastair Cook? He was pretty horribly out of form in the early weeks of the tour, inclluding in both Tests against Bangladesh, but bounced back with his fourth hundred in his last five Tests in India - a remarkable record by any standards, and as Cook has proven in the past, once he rediscovers his taste for runs, theres often no stopping him. DJ Chark Jersey. He is 3/1 to be Englands top run-scorer - not much value there - but a tastier 11/1 to inherit Rashids man-of-the-match mantle.The market for Indias leading bowler is much the same as that for the series win. Despite being largely outbowled by their English counterparts at Rajkot, the bookies dont doubt that Indias spinners, R Ashwin and Ravi Jadeja, will bounce back on what is expected to be a spicier surface in the second Test. They are 6/4 and 5/2 respectively to be Indias leading wicket-taker. For a bit of value, keep an eye on Umesh Yadav at 6/1. He was the pick of their seamers at Rajkot.
