Head-to-head

• Leicester have avoided defeat in successive Premier League away games against Manchester United for the first time since 1977.
• Manchester United have only lost four of the 33 Premier League meetings (D9, L20).
• Two of those four Leicester victories were under Brendan Rodgers: 2-1 at Old Trafford in May 2021 and 4-2 at King Power Stadium in October 2021.

Manchester United

• Manchester United have earned an unrivalled 20 points since the Premier League resumed after the World Cup.
• They have lost just three of their last 21 Premier League fixtures (W14, D4).
• United are on an 11-match unbeaten league run at home, winning 10 and drawing the other.
• Erik ten Hag's side have kept nine Premier League clean sheets this campaign, which is more than in the whole of last season.
• Marcus Rashford can become the first United player to score in seven consecutive Premier League home games since Wayne Rooney in 2010.

Leicester City

• Leicester are aiming for three Premier League wins in a row for the first time in more than two years.
• Their two most recent victories have come despite conceding first both times.
• Only Brighton have scored more away goals than Leicester's tally of 21 in this season's Premier League. The Foxes have failed to score in just one of their away league matches this season.
• Only Manchester City have scored more Premier League first-half goals than Leicester's 23 this season.
• James Maddison has been involved in 21 goals in his last 19 Premier League starts, scoring 13 and assisting eight - but he has never scored against Manchester United.
• Kelechi Iheanacho has been involved in five goals in his last two Premier League appearances, with two goals and three assists.

Just read that Manure have score against us in 27 consecutive league games which is some record & it would be 30 games in a row if you include the F.A. Cup League cup and Community Shield

Not a great set of scores for us at the minute.

Yeah don’t like any of that.

4 wins, that’s all we need.

Tough game. Despite the fact that they have a cup final next week and a European game on Thursday, a win tomorrow keeps them well in the title hunt.

I wonder if Faes will man mark Rashford? Worked against Spurs by eliminating the threat of Kane. Might be a canny play.

Everything goes Kane and that is why we were able to break Spuds attacks, not sure Manure play the same way, we just have to be aggressive and attack the same way we have for the past two games. Manure have a shite defence that do like pace.

Will BR play the same side as last week? for me you do not change a winning side irrespective of who is on the bench, will be interesting to see how Manure will try to shut down Tete and Barnes.

Is it bad that I can see this being one of those games where Rodgers tries to change it all up for tactical reasons and in reality we go down without a fight?

Not bad no. It simply suggests that you've been paying attention for the last four years.

You want our left sided central defender to man mark their left winger?

BN I think Joe Fox is implying he will do this if he plays upfront? A win today will place Palace, Forest and villa in the mix, it is starting to look tasty again especially as the lower teams 18-17 place continue to pick up points.

 

[Joe_Fox]

You want our left sided central defender to man mark their left winger?

Well, not if he plays there. But, if he plays up top then yes.

 

[M17TT C]

He hasn't played there during any of this good run of form of his.

It will be Wout v Wout today.

We’re gonna smash these ****s

(As long as Brendan doesn’t try to outsmart himself)
