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.

    2. Ayew Serious

      "lucky"

      LOL @ you

      Ighalo scored 20 goals last season...

      1. Ayew Serious
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 8 months ago

        And 18 were in the second half of the season

      2. Murder on Zidane's Flo…

        Didn't he basically play half a season too?

        He's in my side. Love that guy!

      7 goals in4 for Kane. Total nightmare...

      "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.

    1. Retrosynth
      • 13 Years

      He loves a chelsea game! Wouldn't be surprised...

    2. RÏɠBY

      next week he does another hattie

        2. Eden Hazardous

    I feel sick, projected rank dropped from 160k to 232 k after that Vardy goal

    1. Captain Vantastic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      How are you even at 160k without him

      1. Jay_
        10 years, 8 months ago

        Only sold him this week, to Aguero for a hit

      2. andy85wsm

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

      Your mistake was not getting in a player that has scored in the last 10 game weeks...

  6. Sif
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 8 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.

    • 11 Years
    10 years, 8 months ago

    United diving all the time, disgusting.

    6. Louis Van Gaalstones
      • 11 Years

      Barely in the game, United are so dead as a strike force

  9. Mark-O
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 8 months ago

    Since Sharon has Aguero as her 3rd sub, we can ignore Aguero in our teams?

  10. Davido989
    • 15 Years

    Vardy beat Nistelrooy's record..against Man Utd. Lol what a man

    1. Licky

  13. Luttte ouvriere
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 8 months ago

    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!!

    1. VS10_
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      81.1% own him in the top 10k.

      1. VS10_
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 8 months ago

        *Started him, 7.8% have him on the bench.

      2. Luttte ouvriere
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 8 months ago

        missed penalty followed by a red card would be sweet!! 🙂

  16. Give The Todd Some Love

    It would be nice if Vardy was actually a nice man

    I might be happy for him then

    1. RÏɠBY
      • 15 Years

    2. mipola

  17. FALCAO & MOU
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 8 months ago

    Vardy had 5 goals 12 assists last season, so I believe even if his goals dry up, he Will start assisting. Season keeper right now.

      10 years, 8 months ago

      Same, last time I benched he got two goals, and with Kun on the pitch (not to mention that I got rid of KDB for him, I can't take anymore pain)

  19. Dr Dream
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 8 months ago

    Not sure what to make of my Aguero pick now, captaining him was a big mistake obviously but City themselves suddenly looked like...well....City.

    1. tm245
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      I did the same, and think he will be fine. Silva to start next weekend and they are going to be off to the races.

  20. Mull

    Coutinho's on 3 goals in a row. Why are there no comparisons to Van Nistelrooy?

    1. For Fuchs Sake

      United can't handle football at the moment
