Team News

Leicester
Ruud van Nistelrooy has no new injury concerns hampering his preparations ahead of his side’s latest fixture. The Leicester City manager will be bereft of the services of only one first-team player, with Abdul Fatawu Issahaku recovering from a season-ending knee injury.

Mads Hermansen will take his spot between the sticks, with Leicester City lining up in a 3-4-2-1 formation in front of him vs Manchester United on Sunday. The central defensive unit should feature Conor Coady, Wout Faes, and Luke Thomas.

James Justin and Victor Kristiansen will likely be the two wing-backs. The wide duo will provide width in the final third but primarily protect the three centre-backs. As for the midfield unit, there is no looking past Wilfred Ndidi and Boubakary Soumare in the central areas, with the pair aiming to keep things tight in the middle of the park.

Finally, Jamie Vardy will lead the line for Leicester City against Manchester United, with Facundo Buonanotte and Bilal Khannouss providing creative support.

Probable Lineup (3-4-2-1): Hermansen; Coady, Faes, Thomas; Justin, Ndidi, Soumare, Kristiansen; El Khannouss, Buonanotte; Vardy

Manchester United
Unlike his counterpart in the Leicester City dugout, Ruben Amorim has greeted positive updates on the team news front ahead of the trip to the King Power Stadium. The Manchester United manager might be without eight first-team players on Sunday.

Harry Maguire and Mason Mount are close to returning to action and might be in the matchday squad. However, Patrick Dorgu will finish his Premier League suspension. In addition, Altay Bayindir (unspecified), Tom Heaton (knock), Luke Shaw (calf), Lisandro Martinez (knee), Leny Yoro (foot), Kobbie Mainoo (calf), and Amad Diallo (ankle) remain on the sidelines.

Andre Onana is an automatic pick between the sticks, with Manchester United lining up in a 3-4-2-1 formation in front of him vs Leicester City on Sunday. The central defensive unit should feature Victor Lindelof, Matthijs de Ligt, and Ayden Heaven. Meanwhile, there is no looking past Diogo Dalot and Noussair Mazraoui as the two wing-backs.

The wide duo will take creative charge on the flanks, allowing Alejandro Garnacho and Christian Eriksen to wreak havoc through the central areas. Manuel Ugarte will likely replace Casemiro as Bruno Fernandes’s midfield partner, with the Brazilian midfield getting some rest. Finally, Joshua Zirkzee will likely spearhead the Manchester United attack against Leicester City on Sunday.

Probable Lineup (3-4-2-1): Onana; Lindelof, de Ligt, Heaven; Dalot, Ugarte, Bruno Fernandes, Mazraoui; Garnacho, Eriksen; Zirkzee
Prediction: Leicester 0-2 Manchester United
