jammie82uk Posted 9 February 2015 Posted 9 February 2015 Stat time The Gunners have won the last seven home Barclays Premier League matches against the Foxes in a run of 21 home matches in all competitions unbeaten (W15 D6 L0). Leicester City have won none of their last 18 matches in all competitions against Arsenal (W0 D8 L10). The last time Arsenal played Leicester at home was the 38th and final game of their unbeaten 2003-04 Premier League campaign. There have been four players sent off in the last six Premier League matches between Leicester and Arsenal. Leonardo Ulloa has scored in both of his appearances against Arsenal, once in the FA Cup for Brighton and once in the Premier League for Leicester. Arsenal have lost just one of their last 29 Premier League games at the Emirates Stadium (W20 D8 L1), conceding just 18 times in that run. Alexis Sanchez has scored eight goals in his last eight Premier League starts at the Emirates. Nigel Pearson has won just four of his 24 Premier League games in charge of Leicester. Mesut Ozil has scored in three consecutive appearances for Arsenal in all competitions, the first time he's done this. Leicester City have won none of their last 17 Premier League matches against London clubs (W0 D5 L12)
talking_goldfish Posted 9 February 2015 Posted 9 February 2015 Subs: Hamer, Wes, Upson, Camby, Schlupp, Vardy, Ulloa Reasonings: I'm picking Schwarzer because we need some stability, even though I would have put Hamer back in after the cup game, but what do I know?! Huth (if he's fit) and Was in defence to scare the sh*t out of the Arse. Mahrez and Albrighton on the wings, switching between the two. Nugent in behind because I think we need his link up play, which we were lacking with Krama and Ulloa towards the end of the Palace game. I know Krama's supposed best position is in behind the striker, but the amount of times he was in or around the centre circle on Saturday was insane! Krama has to play the full game, I fully expect Ulloa to come on in the second half with him in behind, but hopefully by then we'll be tonking them 6-0..For this match, my heart says 3-2 Leicester (new manager syndrome) my head says 3-1 to the Arse.
Fox 4 Life Posted 9 February 2015 Posted 9 February 2015 No idea where people get the idea we will score more than one goal, we have scored a grand total of 1 at home vs Palace, West Brom and Villa this season yet we will go to Arsenal and score 3! This game won't be pretty, Sanchez back and they will want to quickly forget losing the North London derby.
Will1981 Posted 9 February 2015 Posted 9 February 2015 Hamer Wasly - Huth - Upson De Laet - James - Cambiasso - Schlupp Mahrez - Kramaric - Knocky
fox766 Posted 9 February 2015 Posted 9 February 2015 No matter how many times we want wes out the team. Unfortunately he is picked every game because he is supposed to be our captain yet other players organise the team better than he can and put him in the shadows. PLEASE Nige drop him he is shite no matter how much you like him we have other defenders that are better. Anyway moan over with 1-2 city (ever the eternal optimist)

I want Krama to start but it's just the wrong game for him.
RowlattsFox Posted 9 February 2015 Posted 9 February 2015 Given the last 24 days we could really do with this game not being against arsenal. What's our official record against arsenal? I always remembered getting battered at Highbury. Really not sure how to go for this to be honest, we will lose regardless. Surely have to have the extra man in midfield but then who plays upfront on his own? Or go 3 at the back? I wouldn't be surprised to see Kramaric in for Ulloa in the only change.
bovril Posted 9 February 2015 Posted 9 February 2015 I reckon Pearson's going to go completely leftfield on this one. Vardy on the wing, Albrighton's girlfriend centre mid.
Dan Posted 9 February 2015 Posted 9 February 2015 I completely agree with that team. I want Krama to start but it's just the wrong game for him. Nah. I'd get him in. Even if he doesn't score it's a learning curve. I'm pretty certain any goal we get in this game will come on the break and he'll be more use there than Ulloa. I just hope he doesn't start him, it turns into Man Utd away again with him, and he's dropped at Villa because of it. Him not starting on Saturday was a criminal decision.

The most disappointing thing about Saturday, yes. He needs games and he looks very skilful. Can't be much worse, eh!
Gazza M Posted 9 February 2015 Posted 9 February 2015 I know we have changed formations and players on a regular basis this season, but again I think we need to have some drastic change and formation change. I couldn't comprehend turning out in this one without three in the central midfield areas. I think we must revert to going with 3 in the middle to help retain some possession. Then use our pace on the breaks. I would also pick 2 full-backs who are useful going forward. I think we also need to start selecting players with the future of the club in mind. I would get Liam Moore back in, mainly because he is most comfortable defending on the left side, other than Upson, who I think has no future. I would also drop Morgan from the 18 for this one, with Matty James taking the arm band. I would go: Hamer (the future for us in goal) LB: Schlupp DC: Moore (future club captain) DC: Huth DR: De Laet MC: Hammond MC: James AMC: Kramaric AMR: Albrighton AML: Marhez SC: Ulloa subs: Schwarzer, Big Was, Konch, Cambiasso, King, Knockaert, Nugent
katieakita Posted 9 February 2015 Posted 9 February 2015 Hamer Huth, Was, Wes, Schlupp, James, Cambiasso, Albrighton, Mahrez, Krameric, Ulloa 3 at back, Schlupp and Albrighton wing backs, Mahrez, behind front 2.
Guest Col city fan Posted 9 February 2015 Posted 9 February 2015 Think we'll win this You betting on that Brooks?
Vlad the Fox Posted 9 February 2015 Posted 9 February 2015 1-0 win, backs to the wall, defending for dear life.
Matt Posted 9 February 2015 Posted 9 February 2015 I'll go for an old cliche "it's the type of game we'll go and win". Like I said earlier I just hope the events of the last few days unites everyone, draw a line under it, gives everyone a kick up the backside, and prove people/me wrong.
Guest Col city fan Posted 9 February 2015 Posted 9 February 2015 You betting on that Brooks? Cmon Brooks..answer the question as a fellow better.. What are the odds btw on a City win?
Guest Bilo Posted 9 February 2015 Posted 9 February 2015 We haven't won at Arsenal since 1974, have failed to win in London in the Premier League for our last 17 games and Sanchez has scored 8 in his last 8 at the Emirates. Based on Leicester logic with stats like this, I go for a 1-0 win. Kramaric to score.
