Thoughts, predictions for tonight?
As always with Arsenal, it's gonna be a tough game. We have a great record v Leicester at home in fairness, but I've a bad feeling about this one. Leicester have blown hot or cold this season. Vardy always causes us trouble, and if we're not on it, he will do some damage again.
Leicester fans? Any other players we should worry about?
In terms of Arsenal, I really liked that Emery went 4-4-2 last time out. Fulham weren't much cop, granted, but it was nice seeing a hard working team for a change. Everybody semeed to know their positions and there was a clear plan of attack every time we went forward.
If we do go back to a 3 up front system, I'd really like Auba to be played on the right instead of the left. Our left hand side is easily our most creative, in terms of build up and dribbling. Auba is wasted out there as neither of those are part of his skillset. He's more about running in behind and getting into scoring positions. Sounds scarily like Walcott, but if he ain't playing upfront I want him on the right instead. Bellerin gets next to no protection from his winger anyway, so there won't be much change defensively. Iwobi and Monreal seem to have great chemistry down the left side aswell.
I'm expecting a fairly high scoring game - neither defence is great, but they both have players up front to test those shaky back lines.
3-2 Arsenal

Yep, as a long suffering Leicester fan I know how Away days (and home days) go against arsenal. We’ll trouble you, and ourselves.
3-2 Arsenal.

Think we'll go for the 4-4-2 rather than formation i've got. Auba and Ozil in for Welbeck & Mkhi.
Gonna be a tough game but one we'll ultimately triumph. I'm expecting Leicester (Vardy to score one or two) so it'll be a case of us outscoring them.
3-1 Arsenal

We always seem to squeak a win v Leicester but they are usually tight, free scoring, affairs.
How we start the game will be important as Vardy and co will press our back 4 into early mistakes when they try and pass it out from the back. Leno will be key to this I feel.
2-1 Arsenal, Ozil and Laca

It will depend which Leicester are allowed to play but form shows we’ll probably create a few problems but we’ve lost every other game against decent opposition in our be style of play.
Will we throw our centre backs to the wolves and play 4 at the back but with the full backs told to push on, if we do my prediction is below.
I went with a 4-0 home win so anything better than that is a bonus for me.

we will start off slow with a lot of possession . keeping the ball but getting nowhere and then make a mistake and go 1 nil down like we have been doing all season.
