Heaven Angel Posted August 11, 2017 Report Share Posted August 11, 2017 Matchday #1: ARSEnal vs. Leicester City FRI, 11 AUG 2017 | 19:45 BST Venue: Emirates Stadium Live stream: not yet Alexandre Lacazette and Sead Kolasinac may make their league debuts for Arsenal, but Alexis Sanchez is ruled out with an abdominal strain. Laurent Koscielny is banned, while Per Mertesacker, Mesut Ozil, Jack Wilshere and Aaron Ramsey are fitness doubts. Leicester midfielders Danny Drinkwater and Vicente Iborra are unavailable because of muscle problems. Defender Robert Huth is recovering from ankle surgery and is set to be replaced by summer signing Harry Maguire. Head-to-head Leicester are winless in 21 top-flight games against Arsenal, losing 14 of those matches. Their only victory came in the first Premier League encounter - a 2-1 win at Filbert Street on 23 November 1994. Arsenal have won 10 successive Premier League home games against Leicester - their longest winning streak at home against a particular opponent. The Foxes' last away win against the Gunners came in a top-flight match in September 1973, when Len Glover and Mike Stringfellow scored in a 2-0 victory. 44 years since Leicester's last win away to Arsenal Arsenal The Gunners have won their first Premier League fixture just once in the last seven seasons (D3, L3), and began with defeats in each of their previous two campaigns. They have not lost their opening league match in three consecutive seasons since 1958 to 1960. Arsene Wenger's side ended last season with five straight league wins - they last won six in a row between August and October 2016. The Gunners have never lost a Premier League game on a Friday, winning six of seven matches. Their last league defeat on a Friday came against Watford in April 1988. This will be Arsene Wenger's 22nd Premier League season as a manager, a new record. Alexandre Lacazette, who has joined from Lyon, scored an unrivalled 91 goals in the French top flight over the last four seasons. Leicester The Foxes have won their opening match just once in their last eight Premier League campaigns - they beat Sunderland 4-2 at the start of their title-winning season in 2015-16. Only twice before have Leicester started a top-flight campaign with an away victory, both at Aston Villa - 3-0 in 1927-28 and 3-2 in 1933-34. Leicester's most recent top-flight win on a Friday came against Derby on Boxing Day 1975. Jamie Vardy has scored Leicester City's last three goals against Arsenal. However, he is yet to end on the winning side. Craig Shakespeare won his first five league games in charge of Leicester but has just two victories in his subsequent eight matches (D2, L4). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goDofWar_skr Posted August 11, 2017 Report Share Posted August 11, 2017 Good opening for the season.. Giroud's head is like a magnet.. He somehow heads the ball into the net everytime when needed.. Yet arsenal fans show no love for him.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hope Posted August 11, 2017 Report Share Posted August 11, 2017 We did it : wootjumpy: I would take 3 Points any Freakin way . Massive Point's. Giroud muaaaahhhh. laca will be an all time great. Dat guy has calmness and scoring ability. Loved his performance. Ozil was sh*t Xhaka was sh*t Elneny Super sh*t Welbeck was sh*t Ox was sh*t Cech was sh*t Walcott is the definition of sh*t Still we won but Wenger won't learn,he will keeo trysting them and eventually it will again be his downfall. Stoke Next. Come on ARSENAL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
