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.

        United are pathetic.

        Wish they would stop with the cynical fouls.

      "Vardy to ended up in Madrid and Mahrez to Barcelona." - Nostradamus.

      Think this might be the first time I've watched Leicester this season. Mahrez is pretty good....so is that Vardy fella.

      Mahrez the magician

    6. Ayew Serious

      I don't think I'll ever sell Mahrez

      1. Give The Todd Some Love
        • 14 Years

        I don't think I'll ever buy him

        No need to sell Vardy or Mahrez - never has been.

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

          But what I mean is I expect Vardy to stop eventually

            What do you mean, "eventually"?

            The horse has not only bolted, but is cantering easily round Tattenham corner ...

            Eventually it will but even then nothing to say he won't just score the game after. Those that got him at 6m are laughing!

            1. Eden Hazardous
              • 11 Years

              I got him for 6m 🙂

      Kante, Drinkwater, Mahrez and Vardy get into this United side.

        Way too early to be saying that . People said the same thing about Southampton last year and they really petered out

        Would love to see a comparison of transfer fees and payroll salaries between Leicester and United.

        United now are what Tony Pulis's Stoke side could have been with a bit more money spent on them.

        1. Zizoulicious
          • 10 Years
          10 years, 5 months ago

          That's why he's called Louis van Pulis

        Rooney hasn't even thought of a fair tackle there, just shoves Mahrez over. He looks so poor, should head to the MLS soon...

            Pelle didn't sound worried afterwards - said it was minor - he was been subbed at the time anyway
