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.

    Lukaku - Kane - Kun is the way forward they said...

      Long term, yes. Right now I'm happy with Lukaku, Kane and Ighalo. The real losers here today are the Aguero buyers.

    Difference between Man United and Leicester attacks:
    Man United attack: 3 minutes, possible chance

  28. Davido989

    Roy Hodgson deserves to be slapped repeatedly with oily fish if he starts Rooney over Vardy at the Euros.

  29. Towsor44
    10 years, 11 months ago

    How far can Leicester go this season do we think? I know it's only a 3rd of the way through the season and Southampton tailed off with their recent great season, but Ranieri is no mug is he and they seem to be getting better and more confident game after game.
