I'm thinking Austin v Burnley.. Anyone want to talk some sense into me?

Considering Hazard.

Leicester have lost all their away games, conceded an average of more than 3 per game (4 v Liverpool and United, 2 v Hull).

Hazard got a goal and an assist in both Belgium games in the past week.

Could be worth a shot. Hopefully the Belgium wins are a sign he's back to the great form he was in at the start of the season...

Austin has looked sharp but Burnley have impressed defensively when I've seen them. They kept out Liverpool, Watford and we're very unfortunate to concede, last time out, against Arsenal.

I think there are better options.

Struggling to decide between Sanchez and Aguero at the moment. Not a bad predicament I suppose.

Their away record is a completely different story, 3-0 defeats in both games.

I'm still tempted by Austin but will probably stick with Sanchez

Ye they have played 5 at home and only 2 away due to the Liverpool game being switched. They have struggled in both away games. 6 goals in 2 away games conceded. 3 goals conceded in 5 home games.

Not the hottest sample size in town though the away games.

Thats true. Two tough games leicester and chelsea. However against liverpool and arsenal at home although Burnley didnt have much possession they didnt really give up many clear cut chances whereas in the the two away games they could have been a lot worse than they were. I think at home its a real old fashioned stadium, the facilities are poor by PL standards, crowd are up for it and close to the action. Wenger alluded to it in his post match press conference going there is a different experience than most other grounds in the PL. I think that its a big reason in why they can do quite well at home. I have been there quite a few times and it is always windy which doesnt help opposing teams either.

Tempted by Deeney, but will just stick to the Aguero comfort blanket

Deeney(c) Payet(vc) since I'm wary of being burned by South Americans like last time. Just learned Big Troy has scored 6 goals in his last 7 matches v Boro as well

As a matter of interest what happens if neither play at all!!...?...I think it means you get zero Captaincy bonus points and a lot of people will be in that position....unlikely to happen but you never know.

GW8 is Captain Aguero week.

I don't care if he has no legs, he can't find his boots or he's not even on the pitch. He's captain for GW8.

Still Aguero innit!
