Dugout Discussion – Leicester vs Arsenal

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

      Yeah, seems obvious, but you can't make the case like that, because as we know goals in the past don't determine goals in the future... Barkley's goal was lucky, and Firmino has been okay.... I'm not saying it's a bad transfer, just that the argumentation is incorrect imo 😀

        Early season, it is a good move based on fixtures and money, and also based on last years points. One or another, Barkley manages to score.

        Past Performance does not equal future performance, however FORM IS KING and always has been in FPL....

        Also, fixtures are important... and his form (based on only 2 games, given) and fixtures do appear to be better...

        But I agree with you.... not a given and may be a case for waiting another GW...

        THose LIV fixtures tho 🙁

              No, but he's started both games so far and got returns from both so it'd be harsh if he was dropped. There is a LOT of competition in those attacking mid places though....
