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

    Early transfer thoughts, DelaF gotta go for me so,
    Barkley OR Sterling (or other up to 8m to spend)?
    Those Everton fixtures are decent but Sterling starting to grow on me?

        Luka/Bola looming, someone gotta give way-Barks nailed, it's between Mira/DelaF for me, either way its rotation city, Barks or no Rverton for me Frank, I hear ya on Raheem-I don't trust either tbh.

    Tempted to do the below for a -8. More than willing for it to fail and take the risk.

    Firmino to Pogba. Got forward a lot, most shots at goal out of everyone and is nailed. Pool not looking good tbh. Oh and they play Hull.

    Carroll to Benteke. Palace have been mediocre but think he will be what they need and play BOU. Also some great fixtures coming up.

    What say thee?

    1. Are the baps final? Gray on 1 bonus seems a bit ridiculous....

    2. Is Firmino to Barkley worth a -4?

          Being tackled, missing big chances, fouls

          I don't know the exact numbers but offsides,loss of possession, shot off target etc. are added/subtracted after the match finishes. AppleBonkers is a master on this. You can tweet him if curious.

      I am getting Pogba for a -4. He looked great. Tadic looks good but only want Redmond from SOU.

        Exactly. It'll be a run-out for the second string.

    If Vardy blanks again, what are people doing? I'm looking at Costa, but the only thing that puts me off is he's a card magnet! 2 yellows in 2... Any hope in batshuayi starting??

        I have Ibra and Kun already... It's getting that 3rd striker right now. Other options are Gray or maybe Negrado.
