Saturday evening comes to a conclusion at the King Power as champions Leicester go head-to-head with Arsenal.

Both sides are already playing catch-up after losing their opening matches of the season.

Claudio Ranieri welcomes back Robert Huth from suspension after conceding twice to Hull last weekend. The Foxes boss also opts to recall Shinji Okazaki and Marc Albrighton as Ahmed Musa and Demarai Gray drop to the bench. New signing Nampalys Mendy comes in for Andy King in the centre of the park.

Arsenal, meanwhile, bring in Santi Cazorla, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Granit Xhaka and Laurent Koscielny as they attempt to bounce back from Sunday’s home loss to Liverpool. Mesut Ozil and Olivier Giroud are deemed fit enough to take their places on the bench.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

      Leicester as a whole not looking like world-beaters and CL hasn't kicked in yet - I think they're going to be meh this season

      Can people who think Grays bonus points were removed because of his tweets please stop being morons. Thank you

        I think those are jokes...

        1. Epic Fail
          • 15 Years
          9 years, 7 months ago

          No joke. Why else would he lose baps?

            • 11 Years
            9 years, 7 months ago

            On field performance? You think because we can't identify the actual performance related baps stats that there are no other more plausible arguments for grays single bonus point?

          Yep it's quite a shame

          • 14 Years
          9 years, 7 months ago

          Trams have simply worked them out now. They sit slightly deeper so he can't get I'm behind. Why I put him in at the start baffles me

        Barcelona 6-1 up in opening La Liga game - joke league.

        1. RᴀᴄɪɴɢTᴏᴀᴅ
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 7 months ago

          Barcelona would go 6-1 against over half the BPL teams - joke league.

              Serious? I'd try that match again in the real season.

          2. Tommy Tynans Left Shin Pad
            • 14 Years
            9 years, 7 months ago

            Load of crap mate, if you believe that then your nuts!

              • 12 Years
              9 years, 7 months ago

              You need to think back to Suarez in the Premier League then add Messi, Neymar and a ton more tactical nouse than Brendan Rodgers ever had and reassess.

              1. RᴀᴄɪɴɢTᴏᴀᴅ
                • 9 Years
                9 years, 7 months ago

                100%

            1. RᴀᴄɪɴɢTᴏᴀᴅ
              • 9 Years
              9 years, 7 months ago

              Deluded PL fans! 😆 Suarez was helping Liverpool score 4 or 5 against everyone, with Messi and Neymar by his side Liverpool would have averaged 3 goals a game easily.

        2. walkman666
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 7 months ago

          Score would be the same against ten or more EPL teams.

        3. Tommy Tynans Left Shin Pad
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 7 months ago

          Pub league mate. 3 teams in it. Pees me off when people get a semi-lob-on over La Liga

            • 11 Years
            9 years, 7 months ago

            And yet they do well in the Europa league with a .500 winning percentage team, Sevilla year after year.

          27% of FPL are going to get 9 points for Bellerin, thats going to help the ranking a lot...

          Jack Wilshere coming on for this seasons cameo. Earlier than usual, normally around February isn't it?

          1. Cecil The Lion
            • 9 Years

            Don't worry he'll get injured during the IB

          • 11 Years
          9 years, 7 months ago

          A 0-0 would mean my bench is now:

          Jakupovic (cs) Capoue (goal) Morgan (cs) Friend (still has to play)

          1. Arteta
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 7 months ago

            Exactly the same

            1. JÆKS ⭐
              • 11 Years
              9 years, 7 months ago

              Also had Alli so was kinda hoping he would stay on the bench, but yea, it doesn't work that way 😀

        6. Messsiaah

        8. Cecil The Lion
          • 9 Years

          Ah man. I wanted Ozil to drop before getting him in

        9. Fergietime
          • 10 Years

          Thank god I got rid of Vardy and Defalou last night

        10. Fred the Red
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 7 months ago

          Suggestions for a 8.5 (or less) midfielder? Looking to replace Mahrez so I can get Ibra.

          1. Dumpo
            • 11 Years
            9 years, 7 months ago

            Similar situation I am getting rid of Eriksen. Part of me thinks Snodgrass/Gaston and upgrade elswhere as well.

            1. Fred the Red
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 14 Years

              Thanks. Already got Gaston.

            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 11 Years
            9 years, 7 months ago

            Redmond? Tadic? Snoddy? Siggy? I could go on, I've got pages of these

            1. Fred the Red
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 14 Years
              9 years, 7 months ago

              Already have Tadic so don't want to double up on Redmond. Not sold on Sigg yet for the season.

          3. Jolly Good
            • 10 Years

              Cheers. If only he was a more assured goal scorer.

          4. Jimmy Boy
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 7 months ago

            Barkley is the best option IMO. Frees up £2m for you and his fixtures are an absolute goldmine.

            1. Fred the Red
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 14 Years
              9 years, 7 months ago

              That sounds like a very good option. Thanks!

            • 11 Years

            Can you do Ibra instead of Rooney?

            1. El-Kloppico
              • 10 Years
              9 years, 7 months ago

              Then it'll be Vardy + Firmino >> Ibra + 6.9?
              Best MID forthis price? Mirallas may be affected by Bolasie arrival!

          Have Hazard - Redmond - Tadic - Capoue.

          Any suggestions (have 2 FTs)
