Dugout Discussion

The Dugout Discussion – Leicester vs Man United

The unstoppable force meets the immovable object as Leicester City lock horns with Manchester United at the King Power Stadium. The Foxes are yet to draw a blank this term but face a tough task maintaining that record against a Red Devils rearguard that’s conceded one goal since Gameweek 9.

The Foxes have thrived at home and rank top for goals (15) and big chances (22). Furthermore, only Arsenal have amassed more attempts (120 compared to 100) and shots inside the box (89 to 74). Coupled to this, Leicester have proved a tough nut to crack over the last four Gameweeks, claiming two shut-outs while placing second-bottom for shots inside the box conceded (21) and third-bottom for big chances conceded (two).

Man United are unbeaten in their previous trio of road ties, having conceded a solitary goal in the process. In terms of their threat away from home, the Red Devils rank joint-fifth for goals scored (10), despite the fact they chart in the bottom four with regards to attempts (67) and shots inside the box (37). They’ve certainly not been infallible, though, so Claudio Ranieri’s men will draw encouragement from Man United’s road defeats to Swansea City and Arsenal.

    Perfect midfield?

    Sanchez - KDB - Ozil - Barkley - Stanislas for me

    1. For Fuchs Sake
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Mahrez got to be in there.

      1. Barryyuen
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

    3. money face bandwagon
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Mahrez should be there

      Coutinho will prove to be there too

      1. Barryyuen
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        Who will you take out then?

        1. money face bandwagon

          Kdb. He looked good today though.

  10. andy85wsm
    • Has Moderation Rights

    Mahrez really should have put Vardy in earlier there

    1. KISSES

      Yep

  11. For Fuchs Sake
    • 14 Years

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      at this rate, he wont need to go to Barcelona to play champions league

    Any utd fan actually cheer when vardy scored?

    1. For Fuchs Sake
      • 14 Years

      Why would they?

    2. Ayew Serious

      The glory hunter ones that chose a new team did 😉

    5. FALCAO & MOU
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      I did. The way United play is sick these days.

  16. King Kav. QC at law
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    Benched Mahrez and played KDB, Barkley, Mane, Ozil, Ighalo, Lukaku, Kane. So far so good 🙂

    1. Pards Against Humanity

      Rooney subbed off. Feeling the effects of that embarrassing miss

    4. Tadic is the new Eriksen
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Any reason to shift from an Ighalo/Lukaku/Kane front line?

      1. Barryyuen
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        Sir Vardy

      2. pundit of punts
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        None at all.

    5. Jimmers

      Rooney in terminal decline

      woah

      is that the first time rooney's been subbed by van gaal?

      1. FALCAO & MOU
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        Second I guess.

    9. Sailboats
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Fat Wayne off. United will score now

    10. For Fuchs Sake
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Worth upgrading Deulo to Bark?

      1. Pards Against Humanity
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        Barkley probably edges it for me!

      2. FALCAO & MOU
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        Had an option to Geri or Bark or Yala, and I went Geri. Feels sick. It is worth if there is nothing more pressing.

    13. Captain Vantastic™

      Didn't captain Vardy even once this season. Anyone else?

      1. Ayew Serious
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        Just once

      2. Malcolm Tucker for England …
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        Swansea next week gives you the perfect chance....

      3. For Fuchs Sake
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        Only once

    14. Sif
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Out of form Swansea without a clean sheet in 8. A Chelsea in disarray, an Everton who let a relegation candidate get three past them.

      Whats all this about tough fixtures to test Leicester attack? Only team I see keeping a clean sheet against them is Liverpool at Anfield.

      1. Ayew Serious
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        Nah, I don't think Liverpool will keep a CS either

        I think it will be an unbelievable game with tonnes of goals for both

        1. Sif
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 6 months ago

          That or a tight boxing day 1-0 after too much Turkey. But that's the only game I could see the possibility of a shut out.

      2. internal error
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years

        The liverpool leicester game is going to be sooo good to watch.

      3. sully29
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        It isn't so much about whether the fixtures will stop Vardy scoring so much as whether it will stop him scoring as much as the other strikers. Lukaku, Ighalo, Kane and Aguero will have an easier time keeping the pace than Vardy will.

        1. sully29
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 6 months ago

          Watching this game, Mahrez is the one who worries me. Quality player and no midfield alternatives offering his value. Probably back on penalties soon too? Yikes!

        2. money face bandwagon
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 6 months ago

          Thats the point. No1 is expecting vardy to blank in the next 5

      4. For Fuchs Sake
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        Like Liverpool kept a CS against CPL at home?

    15. tm245
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      The way he collects baps, Mahrez might only need an assist to get 3.

      1. Zizoulicious
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        Probably the amount of times he goes past players

        you are still doing well though

        why bring in Ramsey and not Ozil?

        1. Leaf
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          8 years, 6 months ago

          Price mainly , and he's underlying stats were very good prior to injury

          I like a diffential or 2 in my team
