The Arsenal playmaker has been impressed by the Premier League leaders and says it is up to the Gunners to bring a halt to the Foxes' "unbelievable wave of euphoria"
Mesut Ozil has warned it will be "incredibly difficult" for Arsenal to beat Leicester City when the two sides meet on Sunday.
Leicester beat Manchester City 3-1 at the Etihad Stadium last Saturday and moved five points clear of the Gunners and second-placed Tottenham at the top of the Premier League table over the weekend.
Ozil, who scored in the 2-0 victory over Bournemouth last Sunday, has called on his side to stop Leicester's "unbelievable wave of euphoria".
"It'll be incredibly difficult to stop them," Ozil told SID. "They were up 3-0 at Manchester City after 60 minutes. It's brilliant what they accomplish with their team.

"You have to have the greatest respect for that. Our job is to at least for now get Leicester off this unbelievable wave of euphoria.
"That Leicester lead the Premier League by this margin in February is one of the biggest surprises in the European top flights in the past few years."
Arsenal sit third in the Premier League, level on points with Spurs but with an inferior goal difference, and can close the gap on Leicester to two points on Sunday.
