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.

    The record for consecutive games scored in La Liga is 21 games, set by Messi

      10 years, 11 months ago

      Doing it in EPL is twice as hard though!

      1. Greenbackbøøg…
        10 years, 11 months ago

        I've done the maths, using the PL difficulty modifier Vardy is 2.7 times better than Messi, fact

    3. Super PVA - Small Spuds
      10 years, 11 months ago

      Let's hope Kane or Vardy get a chance. Rooney is so good.

  5. Del Monte

    1. Zizoulicious
      10 years, 11 months ago

    3. Sailboats

      LVG would bench him

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

        or play him oop

  6. Milner4eva
    10 years, 11 months ago

    YYT to:

    A. Özil
    B. Barkley
    C. Coutinho?

    1. Milner4eva

          1. RÏɠBY
            10 years, 11 months ago

            hip ping is now my favourite phrase 😉

    Handball by United...

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

      ...outside the box!

    2. Syd.
      10 years, 11 months ago

  11. Count of Monte Hristo
    10 years, 11 months ago

    Memphis is mince

    1. Syd.
      10 years, 11 months ago

      He looks like a big pie

    2. Jafooli
      10 years, 11 months ago

      He's a pure fud

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

    Fuchs's throw ins are better placed than many corner kicks

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

      or Cazorla penalties

  13. Jafooli
    10 years, 11 months ago

    Did Bolasie get an assist today?

    1. Syd.
      10 years, 11 months ago

          2. Jafooli
            10 years, 11 months ago

            Worth writing to FPL?

    2. pundit of punts
      10 years, 11 months ago

      I told ya about Bolasie.. 😀

      1. Jafooli
        10 years, 11 months ago

        😛 cheers PoP, any chance of an extra assist?

        1. pundit of punts
          10 years, 11 months ago

          If Payet got one earlier in the season then so should Bolasie.

          We, Bolasie owners should be emailing FPL non stop.

  14. marquinhos
    10 years, 11 months ago

    Deulofeu to Barkely?

    1. JØ
      10 years, 11 months ago

      no

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

      I guess of you had nothing better to do. Bit sideways though.

    3. Costa in Wengerland
      10 years, 11 months ago

      I have both

      1. marquinhos
        10 years, 11 months ago

        nice

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

      too late now.
      was the pick originally based on stats

      1. Bubz
        10 years, 11 months ago

        Why is it too late?

        1. marquinhos
          10 years, 11 months ago

          exactly my thoughts. never too late in FPL!

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

          smacks of chasing points. may be ok in fairness

          1. Bubz
            10 years, 11 months ago

            Still loads of good fixtures left

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

              fair argument. you know del will go mental then though!

    5. FPLSuarridge
      10 years, 11 months ago

      Also thinking of this, should have went for Barkely 🙁

      1. marquinhos
        10 years, 11 months ago

        Same here bro. Sigh.

    6. For Fuchs Sake
      10 years, 11 months ago

      I'm tempted, but just had my WC and went for Deulofeu

  15. Rhys85
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    10 years, 11 months ago

    Best defender for £4.5m or less?

    I'm thinking Ward!

    1. Pep's Money Laundry
      10 years, 11 months ago

      Ward or a punt on a sunderland defender

  16. Zizoulicious
    10 years, 11 months ago

    Have United created an open play chance?

    1. Jazz!
      10 years, 11 months ago

      Lol

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

      Which match?

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

      this year? twice actually (but one was from a clearance with a dodgy bounce)

    4. JØ
      10 years, 11 months ago

      Mata almost scored from open play a few seconds ago 🙂

    5. RÏɠBY
      10 years, 11 months ago

      it's 2015
      so unlikely

  17. FALCAO & MOU
    10 years, 11 months ago

    Now to pray for Firmino and Coutinho to blank.

  18. Greenbackbøøg…
    10 years, 11 months ago

    I don't remember what a good gameweek feels like

    1. A-VB
      10 years, 11 months ago

      Precise.

      Same here, even GW8 was not that awesome either with 100+ Points, since almost everyone who matters has scored the same, in comparison last week was relatively better for me with 78 points.

  19. fickle
    10 years, 11 months ago

    why did aguero's NTI drop from 130% to 85%?

    1. pundit of punts
      10 years, 11 months ago

      Flag

      1. fickle
        10 years, 11 months ago

        it was before the flag

    2. Deep Sea Amphipod
      10 years, 11 months ago

      Because people transferred him out

      1. fickle
        10 years, 11 months ago

        it was before the match even started

        1. Deep Sea Amphipod
          10 years, 11 months ago

          Ah my apologies

  20. Louis Van Gaalstones
    10 years, 11 months ago

    As skilled as Mata is, I feel like 90% of the time his ability amounts to controlling the ball, getting bullied back towards his goal, then passing backwards, but not losing the ball, that's not a maestro exactly is it

    1. Syd.
      10 years, 11 months ago

      He's not that great

  21. Stephen - Robot Daniels
    10 years, 11 months ago

    Can they just play the last 20 minutes of Bournemouth Everton again please?

    Only United could make a top of the table clash a bore fest..

  22. Royal5
    10 years, 11 months ago

    Need one more save for DDG.

  23. For Fuchs Sake
    10 years, 11 months ago

    United look so much better without Rooney on the field.

    1. Royal5
      10 years, 11 months ago
