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

      PR strategy: If these tweets are really Gray's.... He needs to admit it was him, say it is very old, that he no longer feels this way, and he apologized at the time, and apologizes again.

                  Fair enough. Just pointing out that if his speech was judged to be legal by a court, for example, the FA could still take action against him. The legality of his speech is not the actual issue but whether its violation of the FA's code.

      Gray did look good, then he logged into Twitter after the game, now he is hated...

    Lisbon win @ Paco Ferreira
    Porto win (h) to Estoril

    Any updates on the extent of Capoue knock? I have Watson, and want to swap the two Watford mids, but not if Capoue is truly hurt. Thanks.
