Well after a 0-2 loss to Chelsea on foreign turf, the Foxes come back to King Power Stadium to face off against the Arsenal Gunners. Currently sitting T-13 in the table, the Foxes will try to rebound against an Arsenal team that is coming off a dramatic draw against Everton last week. The series between the two clubs is VERY one-sided with Arsenal currently holding a 7-0-3 record agains the Leicester City foxes and a 3-0-2 record at King Power Stadium. The game will be broadcast LIVE on NBCSN Sunday at 10:00 AM and will round out the game week.

In Capital One Cup news, Leicester City fell to League One club Shrewsbury 1-0 in the second round of the Capitol One cup.

Hopefully Nugent (NUUUUUGGGGEEEEEE) can get his head on straight and get his first goal of the season. I'm still having horror flashbacks to the easy goal he should have had against Chelsea. Ulloa seems to be playing fairly strong and I'd look for him to be a factor in Sunday's matchup.

The Capital One Cup scores were interesting.

And I can't help it, here ya go...

My boys from Everton are off to a lack-luster start with 2 draws in two matches:
1. The first draw was to some team called "Leicester City", which really has no business in the EPL ***
2. Last week's draw was against Arsenal, with my boys surrendering two late goals to draw at 2. How do you say "choke" in British?

This week we host Chelsea, which is a terrible name for a sport's team. I mean, c'mon. It's a girl's name.

Newcastle has yet to score a goal this season, but has managed to get 1 point after a 0-0 tie to Aston Villa last weekend. Hopefully we can pick up our first W this week against Crystal Palace.

Everton signed Samuel Eto'o this week for the next two years. Him and Lukaku could be dynamic up top, but Eto'o is past his prime.

Just relax and don't tense up, it will be over soon... you can think of this weekends match like getting your ass whipped by a boy named Sue!

Well, Burnley take on united this weekend at home. They have been just awful, but have signed Angel Di Maria from my beloved Real Madrid and are also trying to buy Arturo Vidal from Juventus (if they do, he won't play this game). Angel will certainly help, but I'm not sure how much. We may just have gotten them at the right time to beat them. Let's get us the three points. Where ya at Pioneer

Hull signed Abel Hernandez from Palermo to a 4-year, $9.6M Pound Stirling deal today. This fills our need at striker, although Hernandez has had some injury issues. Hull plays Lokeren at KC Stadium in Hull for the home leg of the Europa League on Thursday. We go back on the road to face Aston Villa on Sunday for our PL match.

Indeed we did. We still might sign a midfielder to replace Snodgrass, but we should be pretty much set on Sunday. It just sucks that we won't have Chester due to his red card last week. Dude has been nails in the first to games.

Champions league draw was today. Highlights (for me) is group B with Real Madrid, Basel, Liverpool and Ludogorets. Group of death appears to be group E with Bayern, Manchester City, Roma and CSKA Moscow

Damn you've started strong!! I like your all white uni's. Spurs have a tough one tom. Unless I somehow missed it since we've started this thing Spurs have tied or won every match they've played including preseason. I am the reason for this.**

That was the first game that we looked up to the standard of last year. Mario B. adds a lot up front, even if he doesn't score. Some of the new boys are starting to bed in, and in a very short time too.

Balotelli will be the best thing that has ever happened to Raheem sterling. He will draw all the attention and sterling will be left against one defender with that blazing speed

Leicester City competed to a 1-1 draw against the Arsenal Gunners at King Power Stadium. Arsenal struck first at 20' but Leicester City responded at the 22' mark with a beautiful header by Ulloa. This scrappy Leicester City squad still has not notched its first win in the Premiership, but we have been playing against some of the best squads that the Premier League has to offer. Currently the Foxes stand at 15th place on the table with 2 points after three games against Everton (D), Liverpool (L), and Arsenal (D). Next week we face off against Stoke City at Stoke's Brittania Stadium. Stoke is currently sitting at 10th place with 4 points. Oh...and we signed two players over the week. Cambiasso is now with the team who is arguably the most decorated Italian player.

Unfortunately, Hull's hot start came to an end this week. Aston Villa defeated City 2-1 today. Not unexpected, but a little disappointing. We'll regroup for another PL battle next week.

Aston Villa bounced back from a mid-week defeat by Leyton Orient. They beat Hull City 2-1 due to great first half play.

Agbonlahor scored the first and Weimann scored the 2nd in the first half. Hull City scored in the second half, but it was too little too late.


The Villans refuse to be beaten in the Premier League!
