Team News

Leicester
Man Utd
  • Youri Tielemans will make his Leicester debut against Manchester United following his arrival from Monaco on deadline day. He would have got a few sessions under his belt and could even start for the Foxes on Sunday.
  • Harry Maguire overcame injury to start against Liverpool on Wednesday and could be partnered by Wes Morgan here, who was dropped to the bench in midweek.
  • Claude Puel could use Danny Simpson at right-back against his former club if he wants to play Ricardo Pereira in a more advanced position.
  • Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is confident Paul Pogba will be fine to play against Leicester despite appearing to pick up a groin injury towards the end of Tuesday's 2-2 draw with Burnley.
  • Solskjaer is also hopeful Anthony Martial, who signed a new long-term deal on Thursday, will be available after missing out in midweek through injury. He may have to settle for a place on the bench, however.
  • Chris Smalling returned to the bench in Manchester United's 2-2 draw with Burnley on Saturday after nearly two months out injured.
  • Marcos Rojo is the only long-term injury concern for the away side, with Marouane Fellaini on the cusp of leaving the club.
  • Jesse Lingard and Ander Herrera will return to the starting XI on Sunday after dropping out of the team in midweek.

Prediction

  • Leicester held Liverpool to a 1-1 draw in midweek and will fancy their chances of inflicting Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's first defeat as Manchester United boss. The Foxes seem to struggle against lower-calibre opposition, having beaten the likes of Manchester City and Chelsea since December 22.
  • Manchester United gained one point on Chelsea in midweek and are still unbeaten under Solskjaer (W8, D1). The Red Devils will need to make a massive improvement from the performance against Burnley on Wednesday. Sunday's trip to the King Power Stadium will be made even more difficult if Paul Pogba fails to recover from a groin injury.

  • United scored a goal and was awful after that moment... Difficult match

  • A nice pass from Pogba and a classy definition by Rashford, but no error to lead the goal for the #14 Almirón? I thing he made a big mistake giving a free pass to Pogba's feet.

  • @dib * I meant Pereira

  • Leicester is unpredictable, anything can happen against any team its insane

  • under 3,5

  • @MartinArmenia089 I'll be shocked if Leicester do not draw 2-2

  • @MartinArmenia089 So under 4?

  • @Gronounours no, under 4 means it can also be 4. This way the dude gets his bet back without winning or losing.

  • United will start to fall down from Cloud #9

  • @Cannavaro69 , if Martial and pogba play, I can’t see Leicester beating this united team . Leicester actually overachieved so far .

  • @footballover nice prediction mate

  • BTTS, United draw or win

  • 0-1 United.

  • 0-2 UNITED!

  • Correct score for this match will be : Leicester 3-0 Manchester United Scorers : Jamie Vardy Harry Maguire Youri Tielemans

  • freaking funny OGS will restore his complete starting eleven a proof that the previous wins are not a fluke

  • It's Leicester. Super tough. They took soooo many points from top 6.
