Dugout Discussion – Arsenal vs Brighton

The first of three Sunday fixtures gets underway at 12pm as Arsenal entertain Brighton.

Alexandre Lacazette boasts some fine home form ahead of the Seagulls clash, with four goals in his first three outings at the Emirates.

The Frenchman is the most captained player for today’s match and third overall in the Gameweek, with 4.5% of Fantasy Premier League managers handing him the armband.

Alexis Sanchez claimed his first returns of the season last Monday against the Baggies and has another chance to audition for those wildcarding over the forthcoming break.

As has Aaron Ramsey – at 7.0, he’s bagged points in all of the Gunners’ home matches so far.

At the back, Arsenal have racked up three straight clean sheets and will face Watford, Everton and Swansea after today’s match. They’ll need to make do without Laurent Koscielny this lunchtime, though, as the Frenchman misses out with a recurrence of an Achilles problem.

Pascal Gross has been the Seagull’s star performer over the opening six.

Priced at 5.7, the German has played a part in four of their five goals and another contribution today could see his 13% ownership rise further.

    Superb assist from sanchez, bar the assist he's been pretty ineffective

      Siggy gets to play his correct position. Could be a big win today

    Not even Monreal wants to pass it to Kola... He rather pass it to Sanchez, who has a Brighton player glued to his ass, than pass it to Kola who was totally free...

    Clinton Morrison on SSN giving Arsenal match analysis. jeez the guy is in a time loop or parallel universe.
    Asked on how Arsenal are playing and answering critics, he replies "only at the end of the season can you judge them. A sign of a good team is one that when it plays badly but still wins. Hopes to see Jack Wilshere come on as he's still one of the best midfielders in the league"

    Sorry, that's the biggest pile of bilge I've heard, get this guy off TV.
    Likes a cliche and 2011 does our Clinton.

    Does anybody actually think Arsenal have any good FPL options this season?

    1. TheTwelfthMan
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 12 months ago

      Yes. Their defenders are doing ok.

    So if I have 2 FTs and nothing better to do .. does kola to bellerin make sense?

    1. BoleynWin

      I’ve got Bellerin so have watched him closely today, been very quiet but the majority of Arsenal attack’s have been down the left with Sanchez, Kola & Monreal overlapping to be fair. Has served me well this season so far

  20. Ha.

    Lacazette doesn't suit Arsenal at all.
