Arsenal vs Leicester, Saturday 3pm, green salad and an apple

Pepe LeFrits

Let's go Arsenal

Leicester look in decline over the last 12 months and now with half the team looking at the exit door I think we'll carry our good form into this and win it. Hopefully being at home means we don't retreat into our shell if we go ahead.

That's unlikely. The home crowd will make sure of that. The players are pretty aware of the fans' expectations by now. The only way that happens is if the manager wants to approach the game cagily for whatever reason. But I doubt it. We should be looking to show up and show out. Let's go Arsenal.

Only issue I see here is I don't know whether to pick a green, red or golden apple from the orchard.

Press conference for this one starting soon.

Lol. Reporter is a clown. Asked if Chelsea had asked Arteta if they could take a look at the dossier he compiled about Auba...

goon

What a troll.

Going to this one. I'm going to pull a Ty and say I'm worried about the weather on this one. Too hot for a high tempo game, going to need an earlyish goal to liven it up.

Drinks breaks being especially introduced for this match-round I believe, so definitely will introduce a different dynamic. Luckily team's got home comforts and relative shade from roof. Not going to be so lucky myself, playing out in the exposed all day Saturday.

Seemed that way hasn't it. Will be a long time since we've come up against Vardy though.

The Dossier itself sounds like a joke (I'm not saying it necessarily is in all cases). But yeah, that journalist is an idiot.

I think he said it a bit tongue in cheek, and he got some laughs from the gallery - even Arteta couldn’t help but chuckle, and then proceeded to take it in stride.

nah we love the heat. It's the rain that gets things bogged down.

I'm feeling a nice 3-0 on a sunny afternoon. big bad Billy to wipe the floor with vardy

I think this game will be tougher than some think, it is going to be super hot tomorrow as well so won't be easy to play either.

Leicester are having a proper weird transfer window. Not signed a single player and looks like they'll say Fofana and possibly Tielemans. Even rumours of Maddison possibly joining Newcastle. In the past they'd have already signed replacements but maybe money is tight and they can't take the risk?

Won’t be an easy game, but one we should definitely be winning.

Send the same team out as last week and ask for 90 minutes of what we started with against Palace. Great opportunity to keep the momentum building. The place will be absolutely rocking.

banduan

fully expect us to come out roaring then spend 2nd half getting battered just like before.

jones

Leicester have slapped a 95m price tag on Fofana 😆

Not sure what they're doing, they've only got in a backup goalie from the Championship so far. Ward who's Schmeichel's successor looks both insanely overpriced and a bit shit. They're still relying on 41yo Evans and 47 yo Vardy up front, don't look like their recent signings are getting a lot of game time either. Have to win against a team looking this disheveled

Clrnc

We will win comfortably today. Leicester been very poor since last 2nd half of the year

Shady

Narrow win, but a few goals would be nice.

TambourineMan

They know Chelsea's new owners are desperate to make an impression on the club and are looking to take advantage of that. I'm sure they'll eventually sell for around 80m.

Unchanged team.
