Team V Arsenal

Matty James is missing for the game and Nathan Dyer hasnt recover in time. So here is what I would go with

Schmeichel

De Laet
Morgan
Huth
Fuchs

Kante
Drinkwater
Inler

Mahrez
Schlupp

Vardy

Subs- Schwarzer, Benalouane, Wasilewski, Albrighton, King, Okazaki, Ulloa

 

.. tricky one this .. bit concerned about Wes and Hoooooth against the speed and trickery of Sanchez and Walcott.. for me Kante has to play to protect them if they both start ...

 

I'd like to see the re introduction of 532 for this one.
Kasper
Wes/Huth/Fuchs
Mahrez / DD / Kante / Inler / Albrighton
Vardy / Ulloa

 

Kasper
Huth / Wes / Fuchs
Albrighton / DD / Kante / Schlupp
Mahrez
Vardy / Okazaki
​

I think Fuchs has earned a start. Inler's not up to it yet, and dropping Albrighton was a mistake. Tempted to bring Ulloa back in, but think OKazaki's work rate will be needed against the Gunners.

 

Apparently Dyer is definitely out with a knee injury?

 

Yh Ranieri said today he is still out

Bring in Albrighton and put Dodoo on the bench

 

Kante will definitely start and rightly so. He looks some player

 

That's a good, sound starting 11 for me. We can't ignore Arsenal's threat and yet it still gives us chance to use our pace going forward. Ulloa could be the man to bring on later and worry their fragile central defence.

 

This is the team I would start with. The front two will not give Arsenals defence any time on the ball and more chances are created with Albrighton playing. A bit harsh on De Laet but think Fuchs is better suited for this game.

 

The 3-4-3 does mean that all our best attacking players get to play in their best positions, but Ranieri doesn't seem keen on it.

 

With Dyer being out and reckon we should move Schlupp onto the wing and put Fuchs left back

 

Not albrighton??

 

We need to be tighter - Ranieri
Leicester boss Claudio Ranieri says his team must be tighter at the back to maintain their fine Premier League form.


No **** Sherlock.

 

So cant see him reverting to a back three then

 

I would go for a 4-4-2 or a 4-4-1-1 or a 4-3-2-1. Some thing along those lines.

 

Oh well - it was fun while it lasted.

 

That performance didn't deserve that scoreline but is what it is.

Would have been 5-5 if we took all our chances though.

 

Still 5 goals at home is a piss take. We need a radical change in DEF, it´s ****. CR take note & get it sorted because it what´s getting in the way of a top 10 finish & pos europe lge football.

 

Not sure about that mate. We were definitely second best from 20th to 85th minute. We look so vulnerable at the back it's depressing.

Fun fact: We never conceded five or lost by three goals all of last season.

 

Yeah agree, we certainly weren't walked over, if only we hadn't hit the post and bar before they scored, could have been 3 before they scored.

Clinical finishing from Arsenal, Walcott finally validating his striker status and Alexis finally turning up.

p.s. Kante bossed it ...
