sacreblueits442 1,032 Posted 23 October 2020 Report Share Posted 23 October 2020 ...Arteta is not as rigid as Wenger and is more astute tactically!!! We could play them on the counter, providing Vardy is available Barnes and Praet will be great support on the break. I can't see them sitting, which might just play into our hands, should Rodgers choose to abandon his usual policy. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Last seasons draw was the first point we’d took there since being back(D1 L5). Make no mistake about it , anything other than a loss would be a major shock. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ric Flair 20,303 Posted 23 October 2020 Report Share Posted 23 October 2020 The last 2 years we've played 3-4-1-2 vs them and caused them problems. I wonder if that's what we'll go with again and play to Iheanacho's strengths. Would require James Justin or Fuchs playing as the 3rd CB though given our injuries. Its a formation we are by no means likely to excel in but we we are capable. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

escape2victory 101 Posted 23 October 2020 Report Share Posted 23 October 2020 Same set up as Man City away I think...343/541 Fuchs or Justin as the 3rd CB and the only other debate is if Praet or Maddison on that right hand side Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Our record away at Arsenal is way way worse than that. Lost something like 20 out of the last 22 there, drawing the other 2. I'm 50 and I've never seen us win there. Our last win there was in 1972 or 1973. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sir Shep 1,855 Posted 23 October 2020 Report Share Posted 23 October 2020 We haven’t beaten them at their ground yet have we? (At least since the EPL started anyway). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AmyLGK 271 Posted 23 October 2020 Report Share Posted 23 October 2020 With a fully fit first team id be thinking we'd be in for a good chance, as it is...we're fooked. 😓 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nick 8,485 Posted 23 October 2020 Report Share Posted 23 October 2020 If we had a full compliment of squad available I reckon we could be considered having a real shot. As it stands, we have a shot but it's more of an outside one! 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

adam95581 371 Posted 23 October 2020 Report Share Posted 23 October 2020 3-4-1-2 for me Kasper Fofana Evans JJ Castagne Mendy Tielemans Barnes Madders Vardy Nacho If that doesn’t work then we can easily change it to a 4231 without subs. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RowlattsFox 2,216 Posted 23 October 2020 Report Share Posted 23 October 2020 Justin in for Fuchs and I reckon it will be the same team. A combination of Praet and Maddison playing from the right aren't any worse than our other options. Man city did a decent job on Aubameyang by playing walker like a a third centre back. Maybe Justin could do a similar role but we don't have the numbers to play a back 3 and Fuchs can't play again. He might be tempted to swap Justin and Castagne around. I fancy us to be a threat away from home but there forwards have had the beating of us in the last comfortably. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Gazza M 670 Posted 23 October 2020 Report Share Posted 23 October 2020 I think same 11 except Justin in for Fuchs. Vardy on the bench as an impact substitute if required with Barnes supporting Iheanacho going forwards. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Foxes96 181 Posted 23 October 2020 Report Share Posted 23 October 2020 Schmeichel Castagne Fofana Evans Justin Mendy Tielemans Praet Maddison Barnes Vardy subs: Ward, Morgan, Fuchs, Choudhury, Perez, Under, Iheanacho Think currently Praet is our best option on the right, and provides a bit more defensive stability and tucks in more with Castagne bombing on ahead of him. Gives us a slightly lopsided lineup with Barnes high on the left with Justin sitting back more, and Castagne providing the width on the right. Should be a close game, just hoping we can get a result over these, should have a bit more creativity with Maddison back in, and Barnes full of confidence after yesterday’s performance. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Shane 1,372 Posted 23 October 2020 Report Share Posted 23 October 2020 4-1-4-1 Schmeichel Castagne, Fofana, Evans, JJ Tielemans, Mendy, Praet/Maddison Under, Vardy, Barnes Quote Link to post Share on other sites
StriderHiryu 16,932 Posted 23 October 2020 Report Share Posted 23 October 2020 Would take a draw, but expect a narrow loss. We usually play well at their ground but never win. In fact quite often we play really well and still lose, e.g. 2016, Shakespeare's first game as permanent manager, etc. Really the last game we played against them we should have gone for the jugular after they had a man sent off and we equalised, that was a wasted opportunity.
