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

          They weren't going to be completely free; they planned to have premium features, like predicted rank. Got an email this week saying that due to a number of emails they received, they decide to keep it free for now.

          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.

        1M to improve defense? I have only 4.5 defenders in my team.

        Midfielders (Redmond, Tadić, Hazard, Mahrez) and forwards (Ibra, Aguero, Grey) are good and i haven't nothing to touch.

                  Actually, I don't think this is accurate either. It doesn't even need to be direct incitement of hatred to result in action by the FA.

                      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.

                He's an employee of Burnley, who abide by the FA's rules. He can be dealt with however the FA see fit. This isn't a freedom of speech issue.

                Besides, would you be okay if a player made racist remarks? And merely defend it by saying that's "their opinion"?

          It's only banter !

          And yes, he is a horrible person. His season in the championship showed that when he tried to stone cold stunner Jordan Obita vs reading. Great counter into the pedigree.

          You never should have included him if that's the case.

          Check most footballers' Twitter and they've got distasteful tweets from earlier in their lives.

              Never seemed to effect Vardy last season, his racism was public knowledge.

              Don't get me wrong, the tweets are dreadful and wrong. But the truth is 18/19 year olds get hacked by their mates, they post stupid things etc.

                Well if he was hacked fair enough but I dont think he was, theres many examples of tweets of a similar theme
