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.

    Putting allegiances aside, who would like to see Vardy score tonight? I personally would, though it helps being from the blue side of Manchester, but I love seeing records being broken whoever breaks them.

    1. NATSTER
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      I would. o/

      Honestly, I just want the record to be broken after I know who held the current record.

    Why is Mertesacker so much cheaper than the other Arsenal defenders and heading down in popularity?

    Looks like nice fixtures to me and he's going to play each game?

    1. tisza
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      doesn't offer the potential for attacking points but at 5.3m is decent value if you don't have the funds for cech or other Arsenal assets.

      This is the first Man United game I've watched this season, not much to watch though

        It'll probably be your last too.

        4. Krul Runnings
          • 10 Years
          10 years, 5 months ago

          I hate that feeling of thinking that because you're watching a game, the players you have that are involved in it will probably do nothing. Obviously nonsense but it does fee like it always happens!

        6. Jose's Magic Omelette
          • 12 Years
          10 years, 5 months ago

          So Agüero didn't show any signs that he was any closer to being fully fit today.

          He has managed only two shots on goal in each of his last three matches since returning from injury (less than half the amount he averaged earlier in the season).

          Is it just a matter of time before he improves his output? Should owners be concerned with Ighalo and Lukaku already off the mark this weekend and Vardy and Kane looking in good form?

          1. madame shelly

            Aguero owners know what they have.

            Quite a few chances created from city..it will only improve imo

          The more Leicester try to fasten up the game , more the United players try to slow it down 🙁

          Vardy doesn't react when he gets fouled. He will just beat the sh!t out of you after the game.

            One goal and this game will open up.

            Can't expect much with United playing their "bore the opponent to death" style of play.
