We need pace to hit them on the break, Theo, Ozil, Sanchez or even Welbeck.

Sanchez should go up front tbf.

I'm assuming they're going to sit deep and play on the counter and if this is the case then maybe Giroud will be good here

That is there style of play, sit deep, load the box and snuff out Giroud with 2-3 people on him.

We need to be able to match their pace on the break to keep them off kilter and rely on our better quality in Sanchez etc to get the better of these exchanges is the way i'm seeing it?

If they do pack their box then this is probably not the game for Walcott. I considered Welbeck but he looks like he hasn't fully recovered from his injury. Plus his first touch will probably be playing into Leicester's hands and cause problems for us. Not a fan of Giroud but if he does what we bought him for i.e. provide strength up front and hold the ball up for supporting players then I think he's the guy to lead the line for this

Agreed, I did think that the other day, a front 3 of Sanchez, Ozil & Perez could be great ahead of this 3-4-3 line up, they have a big solid base back up so those 3 could run riot.

I'd rather Theo than Welby

But Lucas returning is a must right now

I think we wont be 3 times lucky....this is the game the formation will be exposed......playing with more defenders dont make than much of difference to a bad defense with bad defenders.

It will be an easy game for us. I never rate Leicester City. Leicester City is a team which all top teams can easily beat as long as they are prepared.

I wish Perez would play and el-neny.They run well and control the ball solid.
Welbeck and Giroud have not done well :(

Why risk rushing him back when literally all our other forwards our fit, it's not like it's a cup final.
