Currently watching Arsenal dismantle Fulham with some wonderful, attractive, attacking football.
They will absolutely destroy us.

I would quite like to go three at the back, but seeing as Soyuncu can’t speak English yet (hahaha), Morgan is suspended, and Benkovic is at Celtic, it would mean either a kid making his debut against Arsenal away, or Benalouane.
I think Puel will go with:
Schmeichel
Amartey
Maguire
Evans
Chilwell
Ndidi
Mendy
Albrighton
Maddison
Ricardo
Vardy

He's not in the Premier League 25 man squad, so he can't play.

This will be horribly grim viewing for us I expect.

have a feeling this will be the side, but in a 4231 not a 433, Puel actually brought Soyuncu as an option replacing Morgan (which somehow Matt Piper managed to find a reason to moan about Puel for) so I wouldn't totally rule that out.

I remember Newcastle stuffing Man Utd 5-0.
Next game was Leicester City.
Lambs to the slaughter, some said.
We won 2-0

For once, the game being moved for TV, has actually worked out well for me, I couldn't make it, had it been on the Saturday, but now its moved I'll be there.
Hopefully we turn up and make it a good contest for you!

We will be 2 down in the first 10 minutes if we start as slowly as we have of late. Arsenal have been playing some lovely attacking football recently and they must be licking their lips at the thought of facing Amartey, Chilwell and god knows who else in a flat back four.
The only way I can see us getting anything out of this game is if we rough them up a bit. We all know Arsenal don't like it up 'em.

Before the watershed.
"... and if you are a Leicester City fa , you may want to look a way now."
Hopefully the international break wil ldisrupt Arsenals winning sequence. One day Puel will surprise us and play Soyuncu with Mguire to form our best central defensive partenership (imo next season when Benkovic returns we will finally be well equiped for a 3 man central defence). This is always a tough fixture but if we rise to the ocassion like last season we are capable of snatching a draw. high scoring 2-2 for me Vardy Ricardo

Love to think this would be the case, but we're going to get dicked here. We never do well against this lot, and there's no reason to think anything different will happen on Monday. 3 - 1 at least, Madders for us.

I know I’m a miserable pessimistic bastard nowadays, so I’m going to keep to form. I honestly can’t see anything other than a three goal defeat at best.
If we were able to get in their faces and be a bit nasty we could upset the apple cart, but we’re not that kind of team any more. We’re too nice.
