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

      You need two midfielders and have £6.5m to spend? That can't be done.

        No no, I also have Capoue, I just didn't put him in the post as he's on the bench, rightly or wrongly!

      "Dele Alli had some problems - he was ill for three days this week and not 100%. We have a lot of games with the Champions League this season and we have to manage them to be in a better condition for the season."

      i'd say his place is a little risky. jannsen has upset the status quo there. someone has to lose out, and as you said against pool, it won't be dier or wanyama

    Bleurgh, took a -4 yesterday. Feels bad so early in the season.

    Townsend (close to 0.1 drop) + Long (dropping 0.1) -> Redmond (rose 0.1) + Rondon (close to 0.1 rise)

    Somebody please tell me it was worth it, 'cause I'm doubting myself.

    Who to replace Alli with? Thinking of keeping Firmino. Liverpool do better against teams that give them space.

    Perhaps rank your top 3 for price/value? Thanks 😀

    Martial (Playing Hull) - 9.5M
    Sterling - 8.0M
    Barkley - 7.6M
    Walcott - 7.5M
    Oscar - 7.5M
    Lamela - 7.1M

    With all the mumbo-jumbo surrounding Gray I got a fantasy-wise question that touches the Gay....urrrggghh....that touches the Gray subject:

    a) Would you transfer Gray out if you have 1FT, 0.5M ITB and you're gay?
    b) If a) is yes than to who?
