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

    Current front 8 is

    Kun Vardy Gray

    A. Gray Hazard > Zlatan Capoue
    or
    B. Vardy Firmino > Zlatan Bolasie

    Fancy Vardy against Swansea that is why that crazy Hazard > Capoue move in A.

        I have seen some people be stubborn and stick to their guns and then blog about the game being broken, it's just a phrase that seemed appropriate as Ibra seems to be dividing opinion and some seem adamant that they don't need him.
