The Dugout Discussion – Leicester City vs Manchester United

After Gabriel Jesus downed Swansea with a double at the Etihad, we make our way to the King Power as Leicester City entertain Manchester United in the final fixture of Gameweek 24.

Despite back-to-back blanks, Zlatan Ibrahimovic was once again the most captained player for this round of matches – he was handed the armband by 20.5% of Fantasy Premier League managers.

The likes of Paul Pogba and Henrikh Mkhitaryan could emerge as differentials against a defence that’s conceded at least twice in five of their last six home matches.

With a blank Gameweek 26 and potential blank in Gameweek 28, though, Jose Mourinho’s men are far from our short-term plans right now.

Leicester’s unconvincing form at both ends of the pitch bodes well for the Red Devils – with a single goal scored in the last six Gameweeks, those holding the likes of David de Gea and Antonio Valencia will be optimistic of a clean sheet.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

    Right folks, need some help...

    A) Allen + Defoe -> Siggy + Carrol

    B) Allen + Ibra/Kane -> Siggy + Lukaku

    C) Allen -> Snodgrass

    D) Keep Allen

      50% will say Alli, the other 50% Eriksen

      Eriksen has had more shots than Alli lately, playing very well, and on set pieces. Alli on the other hand is basically playing like a striker and getting in much better scoring positions. Think it will be a consistent Eriksen vs an explosive Alli, up to you which you prefer
