United favorites against Leicester at home

Man United will play Leicester City on Saturday as the Premier League moves ahead. United go into this game with back to back wins in 2017/18 Premier League.

Kick-off : 4:30 PM BST

Venue : Old Trafford, Stretford

Referee : Michael Oliver

United are the table toppers currently and will seek to look the good times rolling. Jose Mourinho have got an ideal start this season.

United played Swansea last Saturday and got the three points. In fact they got victories with similar margins in both the games this season, which was 4-0.

Romelu Lukaku and Paul Pogba starred in consecutive 4-0 wins against West Ham and Swansea.

With the likes of Chelsea, Arsenal, Manchester City, Tottenham Hotspur and Liverpool all dropping points already, Mourinho can’t emphasize more to his squad on the importance of United taking this opportunity with both hands and keep winning.

Although 2015/16 champions Leicester, who lost narrowly to Arsenal this season will provide the sterner test so far for United.

Team news and possible line-ups 

Marcos Rojo will still be out for several months due to serious knee ligament damage.

Bur their are no new injuries for United as Ashley Young and Luke Shaw are back to training. Anthony Martial will be expected to start after impressing against West Ham and Swansea.

As for Leicester, Vicente Iborra is uncertain due to a groin problem. Whereas forward Kelechi Iheanacho is also doubtful due to toe injury.

Danny Drinkwater shall not feature as well due to thigh injury. Robert Huth is having ankle injury and will not be available as well.

Leicester City XI : Schmeichel, Simpson, Morgan, Maguire, Fuchs, Mahrez, Ndidi, James, Albrighton, Okazaki, Vardy.

Manchester United XI : De Gea, Valencia, Jones, Bailly, Blind, Matic, Pogba, Rashford, Mkhitaryan, Martial, Lukaku.

Prediction

I think looking at United’s current form in the League, it should be a comfortable 2-0 win for them against Leicester.
