The Red Devils have only picked up one point from their last two league games, losing to Aston Villa at home before drawing 1-1 with Everton before the international break.
However, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s team is fourth in the table, only two points behind champions Chelsea heading into the next round of Premier League games.
Team news
Leicester City
• Wilfred Ndidi, a key midfielder who suffered a thigh injury before the break, will miss the rest of the month. Hamza Choudhury will be hoping to keep his starting spot.
• Brendan Rodgers would be anxious to have Jonny Evans available after he was unable to play for Northern Ireland during the international break. Jannik Vestergaard is ready to go.
• Wesley Fofana is still out for the Foxes, but James Justin is close to returning. Ricardo Pereira and Timothy Castagne are vying for the right-back spot.
• In recent weeks, James Maddison has fallen out of favor, and he may have to make do with a spot on the bench against Manchester United.
Manchester United
• Marcus Rashford is expected to make his first matchday squad of the season on Saturday. Amad Diallo’s recuperation isn’t far behind.
• Raphael Varane could miss the rest of the month after suffering a groin injury while playing for France earlier this week.
• Eric Bailly and Victor Lindelof are expected to start together for the first time since February, with Harry Maguire set to miss out once more.
• Due to their late return from international service, Fred and Edinson Cavani are unlikely to be available.
Prediction
• With only two wins in their first seven games, Leicester have had an unusually bad start to the season. They are having difficulty creating chances and are giving up a lot of possession to their opponents.
• Manchester United is also going through a difficult period, and this is the start of a challenging run of games for manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, who is under criticism. United has won just two of their past six games and has only played well in spurts throughout the season.
• Jamie Vardy has six goals in seven league games for Leicester this season, and he will be licking his lips at the idea of facing Eric Bailly and Victor Lindelof. He should be confident in his ability to snap his five-game league goalless streak against the Red Devils.
• Solskjaer will also be missing his dependable midfielder Fred, which will not be missed by United fans, so it’s easy to envisage Leicester tearing through United at will on Saturday, particularly on the counter-attack. Their Premier League unbeaten streak of 29 games away from home will be greatly jeopardized here.
Match Facts
• United have won all 29 of their away matchups (Premier League).
• Over 2.5 goals have been scored in five of Leicester’s past six games (Premier League).
