Mahrez Okazaki Vardy gonna be pain in the arse if we not put tight marking on them.
As well as Kante, Drinkwater and Albrighton. They have a quality team that plays with the harmonic cohesion of a world class symphonic orchestra.

No offence SA Gunner, but you seem to be an eternal optimist...
Before they played Pool you were seriously discussing whether they might lose their next 3 games! They've lost 2 all season, and there was no way that would happen. They are playing all of their games to win. No reason they can't beat Arsenal too. Leicester don't have anything to worry about. They can just keep on dreaming and playing as they are. For the past 11 seasons, the team that has topped the table at the start of February has gone on to win the league. No reason to doubt themselves sitting 5 points clear.

nope these 3 are the key if the balls don't go to them then we are alright. if give them space to these 3 to run we will be in trouble.As well as Kante, Drinkwater and Albrighton. They have a quality team that plays with the harmonic cohesion of a world class symphonic orchestra.
We have to start with Giroud simply because we lack height in the box? Sigh.. We're better than this. We beat them 5-2 last time without height in the box. We don't need height in the box.We have to start with Giroud up front simply because we lack height in the box if he doesnt play. Yes it reduces our potency on the break but we do still have Özil, Alexis, Ox, Ramsey, Bellerin who can all break. No way will Wenger trust Walcott at CF in a game like this, and neither would I.
I think Wenger will play the same team as today, hopefully he plays Coq but you just dont know with Wenger. Despite nearly putting us down to 10 men early in a game, Flamini is a Wenger favourite.
Fair point man, I was hoping they would drop points and they havent.
They deserve massive credit for that and are looking ominous at the moment.
Still think that ourselves and City (unfortunately) have more in our lockers than they do, and with so much left in the season to play for, you cannot completely hand the title to them.
It is going to be difficult to get past them, but we are at home and a better side. Other than confidence and momentum there is nothing else that they have over us, and thus my silent confidence.
I'm not saying it's over, but Leicester fans can continue to be optimistic...
Other things they have over their Arsenal and/or their other rivals
- Less pressure and expectation.
- No European or Cup football so they already know exactly how many games they have to play and it will be at least 3 games less than their rivals.
- The league's highest scoring striker. A player with genuine pace who will score more than 20 league goals this season.
- An attacking midfielder who has scored 10+ goals AND assisted 10+ goals.
- Absolutely nothing to lose, everything to gain.
Surely we play Theo up top for this one? We destroyed them last time with him up front.
biggest game of the season so far for me.
Yes, given Giroud's current goal threat, it is imperative he plays.This will be a completely different game. Leicester will sit deep and attack us on the counter. Giroud scores more than Theo, and is a big threat off set pieces. He must start.
Realistic about what? i'm not suggesting we're going to destroy them. I'm saying it worked so well last time. What makes you think Giroud will be any better? Huth and Morgan will absolutely love playing against him, just like Terry and Cahill do.Are people deliberately blocking out the fact that Leicester had a porous defence in their first 12 games but have had an incredibly mean defence over recent months? Be realistic.
nope these 3 are the key if the balls don't go to them then we are alright. if give them space to these 3 to run we will be in trouble.

Theo up front brings the best out of the players around him too. Giroud's not in the sort of form right now where he's undroppable.
@Truebl956 How do you think the game will go?
