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.

      Not at all, just want him to lose!

    3. Mull
      10 years, 11 months ago

      The best price you can get Klitschko at is 1/4. He's not going to lose.

    4. Alan The Llama
      10 years, 11 months ago

      He's always had a very dodgy chin but I think he's in with more of a chance than most seem to be giving him.

      1. Worzel Gummidge
        10 years, 11 months ago

        Could go either way. Always the chance of a haymaker. That ring was a joke. You could see how spongy it was even watching them walk on it.

    5. Syd.
      10 years, 11 months ago

      He could always land a lucky punch

    4. Milner4eva
      10 years, 11 months ago

      Should I keep Darmian for next week (WHU) now that he has been picked to start again?

  6. Optimus.

    Could Utd get done for unfair gamesmanship with this soul destroying football?

    1. andy85wsm

      More attempts on goal than Leicester 😎

      2. Retrosynth
        10 years, 11 months ago

        Because they've just sat on the ball passing it round the back. Honestly haven't hated watching football as bad as this since the last MLS game I watched.

        1. andy85wsm
          • Has Moderation Rights

          Should turn over really - no point watching something you hate

          1. Retrosynth
            10 years, 11 months ago

            I'm watching it for Mahrez. He's made up for the United shite.

      3. Malcolm Tucker for England …

    drawing with this shite is embarrassing.
    Ranieri should be ashamed

        Poor Mark, being broken by one of his own mods.

      2. FPL Daniel
        10 years, 11 months ago

        Lol. Pls don't break Mark :))

    2. Every Dog Has Its Day

      Didn't know Mark was going to be in the top 200,000.

      1. FPL Daniel

    Vardy out for Kun on WC went well.
    Anyone know if Kun injury is serious.

    1. Costa in Wengerland
      10 years, 11 months ago

      Not serious , Pelle said post match

      1. Clump

        Thanks.

  12. internal error

    Smalling has improved so much. Almost Sakho-lite

    1. Pards Against Humanity
      10 years, 11 months ago

      Just came here to praise him. He's a renewed player.

    2. RÏɠBY
      10 years, 11 months ago

      if only he was in a good team

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

      Yep. Gone from a potential sell to a potential future captain over the last year or so.

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

    Is Smalling the best CB in the league?

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

      The best one who isnt injured

    2. Teror
      10 years, 11 months ago

      Nah

    3. Syd.
      10 years, 11 months ago

      He's up there but Uniteds defensive style suits him

    4. Mata-Is-The-Juan
      10 years, 11 months ago

      Let's see how he ends the season. Can lay uncontested claim the most improved defender this season though.

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

      Certainly the most in form CB in the league and that form has been going for a while.

      If he plays like this throughout the season then yeah.

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

      Just shining because they are a miserable defensive side. Like Shawcross did at Stoke with Pulis.

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

        Well that's not necessarily true. Blind hasn't looked particularly good at CB.

        And Smalling has been brilliant for England as well

        1. FALCAO & MOU
          10 years, 11 months ago

          Brilliant for England? You should have watched the Spain match.

    7. FALCAO & MOU
      10 years, 11 months ago

      Bullshit, he is playing in a team where everyone plays like a defender and has de Gea just in case. I think he sucks to the core.I am a United fan by the way.

  14. S.Kuqi
    10 years, 11 months ago

    Mahrez could have had assist today but maybe its time to move on.

    1. Ayew Serious
      10 years, 11 months ago

      🙄

      1. S.Kuqi
        10 years, 11 months ago

          Your post I think.

        2. Ayew Serious
          10 years, 11 months ago

          Why on earth would you sell him

          1. S.Kuqi
            10 years, 11 months ago

            Cos I think someone likely Barkley will do better

            1. Ayew Serious
              10 years, 11 months ago

              Barkley luckiest fpl player this year

  27. dcarlito
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    10 years, 11 months ago

    Darmian has been very poor. Martial looks disinterested. What the hell is Schneiderlin doing on the bench, need a bit of pace in there.

    God United are so hard to watch at the moment 🙁

    1. JØ
      10 years, 11 months ago

    Great effort by Darmian

  29. Pards Against Humanity
