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

      Hey TM, I feel like I should know this already but how do you work out the safety score? Do you have a set % of teams to be knocked out each GW, so whatever score that cut-off falls at is the safety score? Or is it something to do with the overall average?

      no. the flags only really come into play when they are removed.

      it might affect the threshold to go down a bit, i'm not sure on that

    What do you think on this move ? Vardy & Mahrez > Ibra & Coutinho

    Selling Mahrez might backfire but it will allow me to have Ibra.

      Not really as Pogba hasn't done anything.

        For someone not match fit playing on his debut I thought he was immense, most passes, most shots and most key passes.
