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.

    Schweinsteiger forgot he was playing with De Gea and not Neuer there 😀

    Well done Jamie 🙂

    All my outfield players have scored today - but if Coutinho doesnt play tomorrow it means I still need a goal from Mahrez (currently on bench)

    Van Gaal changed his whole formation and Vardy still scored.

    I really hope Lei turn United over here. Not that it's a chance to have a pop at Utd, just a pop at crap football played the "Not United way"....It's dire at times.

    I will not have a United defender or a WBA defender all season...rubbish football.

        I'd be quite angry if I was a United season ticket holder. They've gone from one of the best attacking teams you could wish to see to this drivel.

          Exactly this. Being a Leicester season ticket holder must be like watching a different sport

    Maybe I shouldn't have got rid of KdB last week, but at least I kept Vardy 🙂

    "He won't keep scoring"
    "Their fixtures are turning, time to ship"
    "KDB out to fund Vardy > Aguero"

      Vardy goal would hurt a lot more if the limes of Lukaku, Ighalo and (hopefully) Kane weren't keeping their form up too.

      Blessed with strikers atm and still think Vardy will outscored by a few over the next five or so games.

    See these back 3s / back 5s... they don't work.

    The only chance it has is when used as a completely negative tactic playing an actual back 5 with 5 actual defenders.

  21. andy85wsm

    This is basically game over - we aren't going to score 2 goals.

  22. The Machine
    10 years, 11 months ago

    Wait why is schniderlain not playing??

  23. tm245

  24. theeribert

  25. Mull

  26. Acquafresca
    10 years, 11 months ago

  27. Brian (Not the Messiah)
    10 years, 11 months ago

  28. DLL18
    10 years, 11 months ago

    They could be 3pts clear with a game to go and I still wouldn't believe Leicester could win the league.

  29. Davido989
    10 years, 11 months ago

    mahrez skills!!
