This is the sort of game Leicester will probably relish. They have beaten Chelsea and Manchester City at home and drawn away at Liverpool in the last six weeks. United, who have fitness concerns in relation to Paul Pogba and Anthony Martial, hope to win five successive away games in all competitions for the first time since Sir Alex Ferguson was in charge. Youri Tielemans, who has joined on loan from Monaco, could make his Leicester debut. Marcus Rashford is set to make his 100th Premier League appearance. Stuart James
