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

    Firmino and Delefeou to Sterling and Barkley? Too much bandwagon?

        Right, I'm thinking Stones > Williams but am I being too reactionary? Surely clean sheets will come. Or is there a better option?

        Team for Gw3 so far is:

        Heaton (Jaku)
        Morgan Evans Stones (Friend Pieters)
        Mahrez Hazard Tadic Ramirez (Capoue)
        Aguero Zlatan Gray

              was thinking whether I am seeing some other match.

          Lotta folks seem to be moving to Barkley. If I sell firmino, I'd like it to be to Payet. So, I'm going to see how Payet does tomorrow, and decide.

            Got Lamela for Alli as want Spurs and he looks nailed and getting forward. Thinking Pogba for - 4 as he was VERY attacking which surprised me. License to roam by the looks of it.
