Dr. Gonzo Posted July 2, 2020 Posted July 2, 2020 I’m almost hoping for a draw just to maintain that symmetry in the head to head.
Dave Posted July 2, 2020 Posted July 2, 2020 I'm surprised Leicester didnt ask for the game to be played at Selhurst Park given our home form.
Guest Posted July 3, 2020 Posted July 3, 2020 @Stan i know you beat them this season but aren't palace a bit of a bogey team for you?

Quite. Recent results have been 4-1, 5-0, 3-1 all in Palace's favour. If you've not scored in ages and you fancy a goal, come to the King Power. It's what Benteke did

For some reason I always remember palace beating you 3.0 at filbert street in the league cup the year after you won it. 2001 I think. It just seems that since then they beat you a lot. I remember you having a hard job beating Bournemouth as well. We always seemed to have problems with Swansea. It's weird that some teams just seem to have bogey teams.

Not even in our title-winning season. Terrible record against them. We had a bit of success over Palace in our Championship seasons. All you need to do is mention Paul Gallagher to @The Palace Fan and it makes him uncomfortable

Subscriber Dan+ Posted July 3, 2020 Subscriber Posted July 3, 2020 Anyhow - Palace's record here is pretty good, bizarrely they've hammered us here the last two seasons, if you're a betting man I think there's some serious value in backing them again this weekend, they're 70/1 to win by 3 or more - that's paid out the last two seasons. I really don't see any reason this will be any different either. Palace play a low block and counter attack. They're the model side to beat Leicester at our place. Our insistence on passing to death at all times is absolutely perfect for their game especially with our frequent rediscovered inability to break teams down - we've had just 10 shots on target in the 4 games since the restart. This has to be viewed as a winnable fixture but I really do think it's got all the makings of a loss, and if we aren't careful, it could be yet another heavy one - I cannot believe we are 3rd in the league and I am resigned to us losing this. It's fucking embarrassing.

Would have fancied you to win at the Emirates with your form before the lockdown but obviously you haven't been so good since. We actually had a great record against Chelsea and man city before they got rich as well

We actually had a great record against Chelsea and man city before they got rich as well I meant just at your ground. Arsenal v Leicester is statistically the Premier League's second most one sided fixture - behind only Everton v Fulham. That said it used to be both home and away. Weirdly our win over you in 2017/18 at home was the first time we ever beat Wenger, and just so happened to be his final ever defeat as Arsenal manager. We've now beat you three times in a row at our place.
Administrator Stan Posted July 4, 2020 Author Administrator Posted July 4, 2020 Looks like 4-2-3-1 from us. Kasper Justin - Soyuncu - Evans - Chilwell Ndidi - Tielemans Perez Albrighton Iheanacho Vardy And Palace start Benteke for his annual goal.
Chaaay AFC Posted July 4, 2020 Posted July 4, 2020 Fucking hell Efen Ekoku has got to be the most boring co-commentator ever. Why the fuck is he doing this game?

Why the fuck is he doing this game? Yawnfest ain't it with him (the game doesn't help ).Such a bland voice to listen to though. Justin had our best chance with a shot hitting the bar. Palace haven't threatened at all. Only scored once from a corner all season (after having 152 corners). They're bound to ass a winner in late in the game no doubt. We've got slow build-up but it's all we can seemingly do with Palace's defensive set-up.
Administrator Stan Posted July 4, 2020 Author Administrator Posted July 4, 2020 YESS!! KELECHI! Better play and lovely cross from Youri. Guiata didn't know what to do.
Dave Posted July 4, 2020 Posted July 4, 2020 Bring on another DM. Ah yes, great idea when you're one nil down.
Administrator Stan Posted July 4, 2020 Author Administrator Posted July 4, 2020 2-0! Sakho, an ex Liverpool player, slips. Barnes capitalises and tees up Vardy.
Chaaay AFC Posted July 4, 2020 Posted July 4, 2020 Easy for Leicester, Palace no real threat at all today. Could be a big goal for Vardy, he has looked really off today.
Administrator Stan Posted July 4, 2020 Author Administrator Posted July 4, 2020 So happy for Vardy. He was lacking in so much confidence but that chance falling to him was much needed. For his own benefit more than anything else.
Chaaay AFC Posted July 4, 2020 Posted July 4, 2020 There you go, sensational second from Vardy. Leicester desparately needed this, especially with some difficult fixtures to come.
