Leicester City are set to face another stern test in the Premier League after their impressive display against Liverpool in their last outing as they are ready to take on Manchester United. The Foxes have not had the best of times this season and will be hoping to inflict another upset and get their season going.
On the other hand, Manchester United extended their unbeaten run to nine matches after they were able to salvage a draw in their last outing against Burnley. Paul Pogba and Victor Lindelof scored late in the match against the Clarets to secure a point after Ashley Barnes and Chris Wood gave Burnley a two-goal lead. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side would look to keep their unbeaten streak intact as they get ready to lock horns against the Foxes tomorrow.

Manager Claude Puel will not have much to worry about on the injury front going into this big game. However, defender Daniel Amartey is out with an injury and will not be available for the match against Manchester United. New signing Youri Tielemans is expected to start for the Foxes.
Manchester United
Paul Pogba and Anthony Martial are nursing minor injuries and will be assessed before the match against the Foxes.

Key Men
Leicester City
Jamie Vardy, with his ability to turn the match on its head with individual brilliance, will play a crucial role in Leicester’s pursuit of a victory against the Red Devils. Harry Maguire and James Maddison in the backline and the midfield respectively will also have to play a key role if the Foxes are to make it a successful outing.
Manchester United
Marcus Rashford is expected to play an important role while leading the line for the Red Devils against Leicester. In the possible absence of Anthony Martial, Alexis Sanchez will need to step up and put forward a strong performance in a bid to cement his place in the starting lineup under Solskjaer.
