The Foxes excelled in all departments at Etihad Stadium last weekend, eventually running out 3-1 winners in their most impressive away performance of the 2015/16 season to date. 

Ulloa came on as a late substitute in the victory in Manchester, which came courtesy of two Robert Huth goals and a superb individual effort from Riyad Mahrez. 

The Argentine frontman is expecting a similar challenge when Claudio Ranieri’s men head to Arsenal on Sunday, but City are renowned for their fighting spirit, and Ulloa believes with this his side can emerge from the clash with a positive result. 

Ulloa said: “We need to enjoy this and then we must start to think about Arsenal. We knew this game was difficult for us, the last two have been, but we have six points. Now we focus on the next game. 

"After today anything is possible. We must try to play the same, with the same intensity and spirit, and after we wait to see what happens at the end of the season. 

"It is part of our spirit. The manager says we must fight for every ball. The result is the second thing, the first thing is to fight and to work for the team. 

"But we don't think about the title, just about the next game. We take it step by step and at the end of the season we will know what happens. It will be another tough game [against Arsenal].” 

Mahrez – the Foxes’ second goalscorer at Man City – has now been involved in 24 Premier League goals for Leicester this campaign, netting 14 times and registering 10 assists. 

Ulloa said of the Algerian ace: "I think he is one of the best [players] in the Premier League because he always seems to come up with an amazing goal or an assist. 

"He is an amazing player. He can do different things and do things whenever he wants. He is unbelievable because not all the players can do that. We need to enjoy him. 

"It is always either Mahrez or Jamie Vardy, and two or three games before that it was Huthy (Robert Huth) and here again [against Man City]. 

"When we play together we are very good and that is the secret, we all play for each other. We are a team."
