#Leicester City vs Arsenal Saturday, 6:30 / King Power Stadium
Premier League
It’s gonna be a very tough match for us, we will need our best players back in the starting line-up. Will that happen though?
“Laurent is close to returning. Aaron should be back after the international break. Maybe I will take a gamble on bringing them [Ozil, Koscielny & Giroud] back early but I have 48 hours to decide."
— A. Wenger
Doesn’t sound promising. What are your thoughts? Will Leicester beat us for the first time in a long while, will it be a draw? Or will the Arsenal pick up their first three points of the campaign?
Was at that game last season, and to be honest, we were fortunate to not be 3 or 4 down at half time, our first goal was massively against the run of play…second half was all us though, it was very odd, it was if Leicester just didn’t fancy it 2nd half, they were not the same team as the 1st half at all
Was expecting the players he gave more time to rest to be back for this game, but if they’re a question mark for this game too, I wonder what Wenger’s actual plan was for the August.
I’m really hoping that it’s just a bit of a bluff and that he’s trying to keep Leicester guessing for another day.
Was saying to a bloke i work with that we could end up with 0 points after 2 games and be virtually out of the title race
After last weekends disaster this game has me worried now. Unlike how Hull played against Leicester we will play right in to their hands. We will have possession, pass it around a lot, lose it and they will counter
I’d argue neither team can do with a draw either. Over the course of a season playing for a draw is worthless, if you’re not fighting to stay up or if it’s not a 6-pointer (away from home), so I think both will definitely go for the win.
I like that team Bl1nk, apart from Walcott up front!
Problem is who else is there to go up top? Apkom maybe? He might be worth a shot but after losing last weekend we badly need to win this, well draw at the very least and can we be experimenting with Apkom? I’m not so sure
