Leicester City
Despite finishing close to the top-four in the Premier League over the last two seasons, Leicester’s start to this season hasn’t gone as planned.
The Foxes have managed 2 wins and draws apiece while losing three times in the seven matches they have played in the league.
Foxes’ last victory came against Brighton in the EFL third round weeks ago while they have also endured a rocky start to the Europa League campaign.
Jamie Vardy’s incredible form this season is something Foxes can cheer about, as the veteran English striker is currently leading the Premier League scoring charts with 6 goals.
Possible line-up
Kasper Schmeichel; Ricardo Pereira, Evans, Carlos Soyuncu, Bertrand; Lookman, Soumare, Youri Tielemans, Harvey Barnes; Jamie Vardy, Kelechi Iheanacho
Manchester United
Man Utd’s form has been fluctuating this season, and they have recorded only one win – against Villarreal in the Champions League – in the last four games across all competitions.
However, United could benefit from the players like Paul Pogba, Raphael Varane, Cristiano Ronaldo and Bruno Fernandes, who are all coming off an impressive international break.
Furthermore against a struggling Brendan Rodgers’ side, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and his men have the big chance to rack up three points.
With Varane and Harry Maguire likely to miss due to the injuries, Eric Bailey and Victor Lindelof could start against Leicester.
Possible line-up: David de Gea; Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Eric Bailly, Victor Lindelof, Luke Shaw; Scott McTominay, Paul Pogba; Mason Greenwood, Bruno Fernandes, Jadon Sancho; Cristiano Ronaldo
Prediction: Leicester 0 – 2 Man Utd
