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

    72 points all out, good week for me. Thinking of Wildcarding though as Firminho not providing again, Alli being benched, Ibra going crazy and my defence a bit leaky. What are people's opinions of:

    Heaton/Jaku
    Shaw -- Stones -- Azpi / Friend -- Lenihan
    Hazard -- Redmond -- Firminho -- Alli / Capoue (19 bench points now...)
    Aguero -- Costa -- Gray

    Becoming

    Heaton / Jaku
    Walker -- Shaw -- Macauley / Amat -- Kingsley
    Hazard -- Redmond -- Nolito -- Tadic / Capoue
    Ibra -- Aguero -- Gray

    Thanks

        See your point about Ibra, if I didn't have him I'd wanna get him in quick.
        Not sure it's worth you WC'ing at this stage tho, not many changes and we don't know too much yet only 2 games in.
        I'd hold off until the international break at least if I were you.

          Either way he is surely going to deny it if asked. Can't see any way the FA can issue a retrospective ban for an apparently 4 year-old outburst on a minefield of deniability like Twitter.

    Hey all, posted this in the last article without realizing it was the last post, lol.

    After some quick advice to help me decide on a possible transfer later this week?

    Obviously depending on how this gw ends first, and assuming everyone comes out unscathed, which duo would you prefer from the following considering the next few gw's:

    A - Hazard and Barkley, or
    B - Sanchez and Lamela?

    It's a forced transfer so need some help please. Thanks.
