Looks like 3 at the back for them with Shaw and James as wing backs. 

Yeah, that's likely, James is bloody quick.

A penalty to be scored in this game is 2/1 on Skybet 

i've gone for this Harry Maguire 1 or more headed shots on target & Harvey Barnes 1 or more left footed shots on target 25/1

[Vacamion]

 

Ah, I appear to have tuned in to the Man United show.

 

 

[foxfanazer]

I want Wilf to violate Fernandes by any means necessary 

[LestaAl]

If we are going to win this one .... we really need a lot more pessimism!

He hasn't done enough so far to warrant paying £25m for him.

 

I expect him to start against Crystal Palace if last year is anything to go by when BR played almost a second XI 48 hours later.

3 assists and a goal in 12 games, most of which he's started on the bench. It's not terrible. A run in the side would surely see that increase...

They’ll get one of our players sent off.

Savage sticking up for us against Scholes saying we can win the league as much as Utd could.

Disagree with both. Neither of these sides are capable of winning the league. 

BT Sport stat: since Bruno Fernandes came into MUFC, they're second in the points table, just two behind Liverpool with a game in hand.

(We're ninth)

Leicester manager Brendan Rodgers said: "We know Man Utd are in terrific form so we will have to be as close to our A game as we can.

"We played really well against Tottenham in our last game, so we will have to play like that again. We have had a number of injuries through the opening part of the season but the players have been outstanding with everything they have given. It feels like the first week that we haven’t had a midweek game.

"Both teams have quality. Of course, they have very good counter-attacking qualities, which we think we have as well. We like to have the ball and create chances. In the big games you cannot make mistakes, and when the chance comes, you have to take them."

 

Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer said: "We want to keep our run going and we have found our feet again, but this is a big game.

"Eric [Bailly] is playing centre back. He has been out for a while but he did really well against Everton. We want to get after them, but it could be cagey.

"Last season we played a controlled game, but we made them make mistakes. Jamie Vardy is a top striker. His movement is so clever and he has pace, but we have got threats as well, so hopefully it will be a good game."

Down to Rodgers, he seems to get this one wrong all of the time. Let’s hope today we can do something. We let Bruno get a foothold in the game we will be in trouble. 

[mozartfox]

Given the World-wide audience for this, I wonder how much advertising revenue the Club will generate?

[hejammy]

I really hope they don't give them too much respect like they did against Liverpool. We need to play our game and go at them from the get go. 

[Hales]

I really hope we smash them today! Cannot stand them especially Bruno.  Come out with intensity and confidence.  Man City ✅ Spurs ✅ Arsenal ✅ Man Utd ✅ 😁 I have a good feeling about this!

Maddison is the key to winning this game. 

Ndidi is the key to Maddison being the key 

[StanSP]

Think we'll have a much different game than July. Ndidi back for us against their midfield is good.

Yet we are still above them in the league. Take the dodgy pens away and they would have dropped alot more points. I know we have had our fair share of pens but all our pens have been stonewall that I can remember. United still get a disgusting amount of decisions go in their favour. Get money on Bruno scoring a pen.

[Bezzanator89]

Time to break the United hoodoo. Only beating them once in 14 attempts (yes, THAT 5-3 victory, our first game against them after getting promoted) since coming back up qualifies as a bogey team.

 

Not many teams I despise, but Manchester United is at the tip-top of that list. Come on Leicester, show them no respect and take the game to the Red Devils like you did against Spurs.

Enjoyed watching Paul Scholes as a player but christ he's an annoying pundit.
