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.

 

 

Good thing at the moment is that since the change in system I am confident we can actually score at least 2 goals a game

Will ndidi play ?

Has to be this, right?

 

Schmeichel

Amartey Evans Soyuncu

Ricardo Tielemans Soumare Castagne

Maddison

Nacho Vardy

 

There will be goals.

Can't see it being anything else, bar injuries.

 

Lookman and Barnes are useful formation changers to bring on, but while it maybe harsh to drop them both based on general form, this formation seems to be the one we're playing best as as a unit this season. I just hope we can start getting some clean sheets soon, but not at the expense of our goalscoring.

[AKCJ]

I think this will be a really good game for the neutral.

 

I'd put all three outcomes at similar odds.

Maddison winner incoming

Is he that new French academy prospect?

[indierich06]

Feel more confident going into this game than Brentford, which says a lot about what a spent force Arsenal are.

[foxfanazer]

Please beat these frauds. Can't stand them 

[Permafrost]

What's the latest on Vardy?

Not an injury concern?

[justfoxes]

He's fine according to Brendan - see page 1.

I'm taking my 5 year old son to his first proper Leicester game, cannot wait. Let's hope he doesn't end up supporting Arsenal at the end of it 😂😂😂

What, when they concede 4!!

[Aus Fox]

Vardy loves a goal against Arsenal, team picks itself at the moment.

They will have a player sent off and we will role them 3-1.

BT to spend the next few days hyping it up as guaranteed goals, both teams questionable at the back, scoring lots etc. 

 

0-0.

[foxfanazer]

They're a confident bunch considering how often their team let's them down. Other than Saka I can't think of a player that gets in our side. Maybe Tierney?

Don't allow that to happen. I remember when my lad was a nipper saying that he liked Liverpool. I think he detected the look on my disapproving face and never mentioned it again. He was shortly after selected to be a City mascot and that was him for life. He dislikes Liverpool as much as me now.

Or  not...Though far,far away from those high times, I reckon Arsenal are slowly,Finding their way back into the PL high echolons,

The London media,  will always Keep that noise & entitlement flowing...

 

They Beat us well  at home last season....At this present moment,I see nothing between us...

One could Pull out an old cliche....'The One who wins this, Kick starts their season'

Both have had or turned results, neither of us convincingly...

Can't see it being anything but this, and also plenty of goals. 

 

We're in form. So are they. Both teams aren't solid in defence. 

 

I'm hoping for some more Maddison magic. 

 

Glad we were able to rest the spine of our team - hopefully that'll help us. Last seasons home game you could see the tiredness flow through the squad as each minute ticked by. Not helped by Barnes' injury either. 

 

Totally different this time around. 

 

I'm going 4-2 win again.

No, I would leave Soumare in. Wilf on the bench.

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! 

And our  defence.....???

Depends on which Leicester turn up. 

Would also be good to see a ninety minutes performance and not just for one half which has been prevalent recently.

I shan't. I've conditioned him since he was capable of processing words about Leicester and he's grown very fond of us from afar. He will watch games on TV with me with growing interest and excitement. He was going nuts at Daka's 3rd and 4th goal last week and the cup final was just amazing. 

 

Hoping this Saturday cements his passion and can get him down there more and more.

Can’t stand Arsenal fans just win
