LCFC vs Arsenal - Match Thread - 30/10/2021 (BT Sport)

[trabuch]

It's quite refreshing to see plenty of Leicester on the BT coverage so far. I'm not massively paying attention, but I don't think they have mentioned Man U once!

The last 2 wins in the league are vital going into this as these are in good form, would be happy with a point 

They are in good form, but they have only played the likes of Norwich, Burnley, Palace, Villa and an out-of-form Tottenham, so we need to put this into context

They're both Belgian 

Is Captain Haddock playing

[turlo]

Soumare can handle Partey in midfield leaving them Youri vs a lightweight Lakonga.

Can’t believe missing this one at work got alerts on phone hope to catch a bit of it 🙏 will probably mid first half anyway as really busy but got the boys in blue in mind, COME ON YOU AMAZING FOXES LETS SMASH THE GOONEYS !!

COYB !💙🦊

Think they are weak at the back. Danger man is Auba. Smith-Rowe is useful

[TheFiveTime]

definitely not a team that im thinking will be very very tough to get any kind of positive result Very winnable game today and we need to win these games if we want to challenge further up the table

[adejo92]

Lookman, Barnes & Daka on the bench, says a lot about the quality we are able to field on the first 11.

 

This will be tough, Arsenal are finding form, but we are more than capable of schooling these.

 

C'mon Leicester.

Tierney out for Arsenal. White starts 

 

There's some serious attacking talent in that side and we haven't kept a clean sheet  That said, we can definitely get at their defence. I think there'll be a few goals, hopefully more for us than them.

[Shane]

Is Albrighton injured? Prefer him on the bench over Bertrand as a wingback option 

[TJB-fox]

0-0 

[StanSP]

Rodgers says Ricardo has tightness in both hamstrings and will be fine for next week.

I'm glad to see Wilf back. Apparently Ricardo has a problem. Anyone know what that is?

Tight hamstrings for Riccy.

Arsenal have scored 10 goals in their last six Premier Leagues games, six coming in two games - Bottlers and Villa - so not convinced about their 'attacking talent'. They only scored one against Norwich and one against Burnley

Nice to see Ndidi back on the bench, Arsenal are a good side and this will be another decent test for us to keep our winning run going.
