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

          Nolito (must start), Capoue (form over fixtures) or Mirallas (save that extra cash).

            Thanks pal
            Nolito is too much, 9.0.
            Have Capoue, Redmond, Hazard & Townsend.

    Feghouli, Firmino and Alli (Hazard - Capoue the others). What would you do with 1FT for the first three. Keep Feghouli and suck up any further drops and remove one of Firmino/Alli or -4 to get rid of two and finally -8 to get rid of the lot? Leaning to no hit and just sucking up any drops,

      FWIW I've used both my FT's so far to get rid of both, and I got rid of Townsend first. So I guess it would be my priority to get rid of him if I were you. Firmino will get more points than Townsend over the course of the season.
