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.

    Cheapstakes with vardy and ighalo getting lucky again

    Meanwhile those of us with real 8m+ strikers continue to suffer

      Nah, Lukaku scored again today and Kane has outscored Vardy over the last five. All quality options.

      "lucky"

      LOL @ you

      Ighalo scored 20 goals last season...

      1. Ayew Serious
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 5 months ago

        And 18 were in the second half of the season

      "Luck"

      You make your own luck in this game, selecting players based on hype and ignoring the most prolific players in the league and the reasons behind their goalscoring isn't a recipe for success.

      Mr. Ownership strikes again. Take some responsibility for your choices, expensive or not (just once!)

    Aguero just had a kick on his heel and is ok according to Pelle. You can stop the panic now. Kane hasn't played yet and some are acting as if he scored a hattrick.

            Only sold him this week, to Aguero for a hit

            I was at 162k at start of the GW without ever owning him.

          • 13 Years
          10 years, 5 months ago

          Having Rooney on the same pitch as Vardy while the Roy watches just highlights how stupid it is to still have Rooney as England's main striker for of what I can only assume in sentimental value.

          • 10 Years

          United diving all the time, disgusting.

          With over 60% ownership there must not be many active players without Mahrez -
          Having played without since the start I'm praying for a streak of 1 pters!!
