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.

        Yeah, my bad. I think Vardy and Lukaku have bonus, so it'll be around 50.

        1. S.Kuqi
          • 13 Years

          No baps for Lukaku

    Vardy doesn't hold the all-time English league record.

          Just saying, people acting like this league hadn't existed before 1992.

            This league didn't...

            But i get what you mean

            or 1932 lol

            10 years, 4 months ago

            John Aldridge scored 10 games in a row as well I think, which would be equal to Van Nistelrooy.. branding Vardy as a record breaker and hyping it up is good for selling papers and attractive tv viewers though I'm sure, so I can't really blame them

      2. RÏɠBY

    • tm245
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Owning Aguero and Ighalo over Vardy and Lukaku only a 1 pt defeat, 14-15.

      Captaining Aguero, though...

      1. ralfb
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        Should have ighalo vardy and lukaku

        1. tm245
          • 14 Years
          10 years, 4 months ago

          Then how could I own Kane?

    • Deep Sea Amphipod
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      I'm happy with everyone in my team but I want Ozil, KDB and Firmino/Coutinho. Hmmmmmm

      1. Deep Sea Amphipod
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        And Lukaku! Blimey.

      Should a team like Utd feel obliged to play entertaining football?

      1. Syd.
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        No

      2. Cpt Crunch Scott talent
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        Nope

      3. Retrosynth
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        I think yes. Should be playing for the fans, love of the game. Even if they're only playing for cash, fans foot the bill so yeah. I'm wondering how many United players are really proud of how they're playing, or feel like they're really enjoying their football.

      2000 Agüero sales so far this gameweek. Only Pellè has had more sales among forwards.

        Price drop inevitable.

    • Clumsy Sakho
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      What a terrible day. 26pts with 5 to play. Plus a -4. And to add salt to my wounds benched both mané and kolarov. Great.

      1. boc610
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        so many on here tried to convince everyone KDB wasnt playing well, was going to be benched and based it on nothing other than a few poor fantasy returns even he has been far and away citys most consistent player this season

    • money face bandwagon

        Ffs, why do I keep resisting picking up Vardy? Another 9 point game for him then?

        I had picked Van annholt during the week but stopped because I didn't want the -8 to also pick up De Bruyne... Looked good against Palace... Worst FPL week decisions of the year

        1. Costa in Wengerland
          • 14 Years
          10 years, 4 months ago

          I transferred KDB out this week for Barkley

    • Saniul
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Almost did Mahrez to Barkley this week.
      But then again, he is the Leicester guy who I want to have for 38 weeks, not Vardy...

      1. Ziro Becomes One
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        Vardy will get a fair share of assists though, when his scoring slows down. In current form, both undroppable even in spite of fixtures.

    • SLB_1904

      Is Yoshida nailed? Need a cheap defender to swap Williams for. Either him or Simpson? Any other viable option?

      1. Costa in Wengerland
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        Simpson is Nailed on

        Yoshida only for big matches because Cedric is Card magnet as i have heard

        1. SLB_1904
          • 10 Years

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

            Precariously placed this week in my head to head. I have a 12pt lead and Coutinho to play Vs Bellerin and Kane for him. What are my chances
