Leicester City travel to Manchester Saturday morning looking to get their season back on track with a marque victory at Old Trafford.

Claudio Ranieri has already openly stated that he and his side are, “fearless,” when it comes to taking on one of the most prestigious clubs in England at their home ground.

The Foxes only took a point from proceedings last term in their title winning run and United manager Jose Mourinho will be looking to equally see his side get back to business in the League.

Likewise Leicester are looking to bounce back from a bit of a frustrating start to the season as well with both sides in the middle of the table.

The one major question mark on the match will be the fitness of Kasper Schmeichel as he is still recovering from a concussion. It is the second injury of the season already for the Dane and his health could be a growing concern this season.

Manchester United also have several injury questions up in the air as Anthony Martial is ruled out with a concussion and a calf injury set to keep his sidelined until next week at the earliest.

Luke Shaw and Henrikh Mkhitaryan are both believed to be set to return to contention for the first team but not certain to be in the starting elevens.

Jamie Vardy and Islam Slimani are set to take another step forward building their partnership with it having had a great part in their victory last weekend.

A few fringe players could force changes in the United lineup after having strong showings during midweek.

Lets take a look at how the sides may lineup tomorrow in the early kickoff.
