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

      Ozil is back so that diminishes Cazorla's appeal.

      Not Townsend because Palace is poor as a whole.

      Tadic is alright but has an alternating series of good and bad fixtures and S'ton needs a while to get fired up so it's a punt that might work well on tough fixtures!

    Evening All,

    I hope you all had decent week. Please can I get some advice I'm thinking going back to my old first draft as it would be doing alot better. Thinking taking -8 doing these transfers.

    Vardy》Costa
    Martial》Tadic
    Valenica 》Ibra
    Firmino》Fletcher (Fund Ibra)

    I will be pulling the transfer button tonight after MoD
