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.

    Pellegrini confirms that Sergio Aguero was replaced on 65 as planned and as a precaution - "he had a kick on heel, nothing important".

    1. S.Kuqi
      10 years, 11 months ago

      Yeah right. Two weeks minimum

  10. FPL Daniel
    10 years, 11 months ago

    I think this season promoted casualnes the most from all previous. Just buy the dude who scored the previous gw. Don't like it

  11. Mull
    10 years, 11 months ago

    It's nice to see United play football the proper way unlike these overrated hacks at Leicester.

    1. Ayew Serious
      10 years, 11 months ago

      Sh

    2. Eden Hazardous

      Chat sh1t get banged!

    3. Worzel Gummidge
      10 years, 11 months ago

      Is there a punchline?

      1. Mull
        10 years, 11 months ago

        The final score at half 7.

  12. Davido989
    10 years, 11 months ago

    Vardy and Mahrez 20 goals
    Manchester United 19 goals

  13. Pecky
    10 years, 11 months ago

    Brought Coutinho in for a hit this week and he is now keeping 1st sub Stanislas on my bench....could be a nice bonus if he doesn't make tomorrow due to injury - The hit will be great value in a very strange way!

  14. ★Kuntheman★
    10 years, 11 months ago

    Dropped De Bruyne and Kolarov, picked up Pieters and Silva to get Aguero. Want to add insult to injury? Coutinho's in my lineup, and Stanislas is my second sub behind Alderweireld.

      self harm

    2. madame shelly
      10 years, 11 months ago

      gotta think medium to long term. as for stanislas, you bought him as fodder, and only ever intended to play him if you got an unexpected injury to your first 11. enjoy the price rises

  15. Davido989
    10 years, 11 months ago

    mahrez bench success imo

    1. Worzel Gummidge
      10 years, 11 months ago

    Even before he got that slight knock I was planning on doing Aguero > Kane for next GW, having just got Kun this GW.

    No idea what I'm doing anymore 😀

  29. Bøwstring The Carp
    10 years, 11 months ago

    United surely can't win a league title with this type of football?

    1. Mull
      10 years, 11 months ago

      It worked last year.

    2. Alan The Llama
      10 years, 11 months ago
