I think this will be a tight match. Arsenal's form has picked up but they are more than  beatable if we turn up on the day.

 

I can see us beating these, but it will be tight.

If we press like we did vs United, these will melt. 

Yep pressing them is key, their defenders are poor playing out from the back and make mistakes when pressured. Also against Brentford we did an excellent job of nullifying Raya’s distribution from kick off - he didn’t find many team mates from his kicks, and we need to stop Ramsdale from doing the same. 
 

Both teams are in form and next to one another in the table so should be a good game. Hopefully home advantage plays it’s part!

Last season's defeat to them was so frustrating. Their Xhaka - Elneny midfield dominated us. That pair should never dominate anyone, let alone our midfield.

These are a funny side, they’ve been beating bang average sides (spuds included) however they’re still dangerous if not taken seriously, their defence is as flaccid as United’s, so approach the game with a similar mentality, we should be okay!

Maddison

There will be goals.

Bit of an acid test as to where we are. Just like Sunday, it’s all about the quality of defending. 
 

A win would put us in 5th which is decent considering our performances mostly this season

They've had three day gaps between each of their last three games. In contrast, we've had two days plus the prior trip to Moscow for an additional game. I know we made changes with Brighton but we have used some first team players too as subs plus Soyuncu as a starter. Will fatigue play a role? Hopefully not. Play our best team and game, we can win. They've improved and confidence will be good. A close game in store.

Depends on which Leicester turn up. 

Yep, and Arsenal.

 

Sometimes they're good and sometimes not.

 

Should be an interesting game. Like Koke said, they're on a good run but I'm not convinced.

Oh we can certainly do em. But we are so bipolar it’s crazy.

The Arsenal jinx to return. Obvs we’ll concede so we have to get at least 2. 

This is exactly our problem. We have to score two, at least, because you know we'd concede at least one.

 

Our defending is what is going to stop us really achieving anything of note this season unless there is a marked improvement. And soon.

Our defending last season was average ,50 goals conceded was at least 10 too many. At the moment we are on course to ship even more.

Vardy is fine for this, and so is everyone else at the moment

 

“Jamie’s fine,” Rodgers said on Wednesday evening, after City’s Carabao Cup shoot-out success against Brighton. 
 

“He trained this morning (Wednesday) and joined back in the group. All the guys are fine.”

That's great news. Hoping that Wilf will be fit enough to start. That would be a massive bonus.
