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.

    1. For Fuchs Sake
      10 years, 11 months ago

      Mahrez got to be in there.

      1. FPLSuarridge
        10 years, 11 months ago

    3. money face bandwagon
      10 years, 11 months ago

      Mahrez should be there

      Coutinho will prove to be there too

      1. FPLSuarridge
        10 years, 11 months ago

        Who will you take out then?

        1. money face bandwagon
          10 years, 11 months ago

          Kdb. He looked good today though.

  10. andy85wsm
    • Has Moderation Rights
    10 years, 11 months ago

    Mahrez really should have put Vardy in earlier there

    1. KISSES
      10 years, 11 months ago

      Yep

  11. For Fuchs Sake
    10 years, 11 months ago

  12. Sailboats

    1. KISSES

    Mahrez in FC Barcelona mode...

    1. RubeRx
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 11 months ago

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

  15. money face bandwagon
    10 years, 11 months ago

    Any utd fan actually cheer when vardy scored?

    1. For Fuchs Sake
      10 years, 11 months ago

      Why would they?

    2. Ayew Serious
      10 years, 11 months ago

      My brother did

    3. Malcolm Tucker for England …
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 11 months ago

      what's "well done that man" in Norwegian anyway?

    4. King Kav. QC at law
      10 years, 11 months ago

      The glory hunter ones that chose a new team did 😉

    5. FALCAO & MOU
      10 years, 11 months ago

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

  16. King Kav. QC at law
    10 years, 11 months ago

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

    1. Pards Against Humanity
      10 years, 11 months ago

      *slow clap*

    2. Worzel Gummidge
      10 years, 11 months ago

      Awesome.

    3. FALCAO & MOU
      10 years, 11 months ago

      Well done. Nice grav, very colorful.

    4. potatoace

      You get all those players just by benching mahrez, wow.

  17. internal error

    10 years, 11 months ago

    Rooney subbed off. Feeling the effects of that embarrassing miss

  18. Milner4eva
    10 years, 11 months ago

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

    1. FPLSuarridge
      10 years, 11 months ago

      Sir Vardy

    2. pundit of punts
      10 years, 11 months ago

      None at all.

  19. Jimmers
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    10 years, 11 months ago

    Rooney in terminal decline

    1. Jose's Magic Omelette
      10 years, 11 months ago

      Called it at the start of the season.

  20. Lingardium Leviosa.
    10 years, 11 months ago

    Seeing upvotes sharing.

    Just wanted to say hi 🙂

  21. The Algerian Dream
    10 years, 11 months ago

    waste of space off, waste of space on

  22. Give The Todd Some Love
    10 years, 11 months ago

    woah

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

    1. FALCAO & MOU
      10 years, 11 months ago

      Second I guess.

  23. Sailboats
    10 years, 11 months ago

    Fat Wayne off. United will score now

  24. For Fuchs Sake
    10 years, 11 months ago

    Worth upgrading Deulo to Bark?

    1. Pards Against Humanity
      10 years, 11 months ago

      Barkley probably edges it for me!

    2. FALCAO & MOU
      10 years, 11 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.

  25. Malcolm Tucker for England …
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    10 years, 11 months ago

    that throw....wow

  26. Ayew Serious

    Hello Schlupp
    Bye Albrighton

  27. Captain Vantastic™
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    10 years, 11 months ago

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

    1. Ayew Serious
      10 years, 11 months ago

      Just once

    2. Malcolm Tucker for England …
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 11 months ago

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

    3. For Fuchs Sake
      10 years, 11 months ago

      Only once

  28. Sif
    10 years, 11 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
      10 years, 11 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
        10 years, 11 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
      10 years, 11 months ago

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

    3. sully29
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 11 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
        10 years, 11 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, 11 months ago

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

    4. For Fuchs Sake
      10 years, 11 months ago

      Like Liverpool kept a CS against CPL at home?

  29. tm245
    10 years, 11 months ago

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

    1. Zizoulicious
      10 years, 11 months ago

      Probably the amount of times he goes past players

    2. RubeRx
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 11 months ago

      you are still doing well though

      why bring in Ramsey and not Ozil?

      1. Leaf
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        10 years, 11 months ago

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

        I like a diffential or 2 in my team
