Man United v Leicester: Preview as history beckons for Rodgers’ Foxes

Predicted Line-ups

Brendan Rodgers cannot afford to rotate or dither on the team sheet for this match. To face one of the best, we will need one of the best.

As reported by BBC Sport, Jonny Evans is added to a less swollen list of injuries. Joining players such as Harvey Barnes, James Justin, and Wes Morgan. He suffers from a not too major ankle injury, though may not play again this season.

This is disruptive, though hopefully not season defining. Both Daniel Amartey and Christian Fuchs can be slotted into a back three without heavily disrupting the flow of the squad, so expect to see one of these present.

The only positive for Leicester is the absence of stalwart and captain Harry Maguire, as reported by Football Daily

. After sustaining an ankle injury, the former Fox will not be fit to play. Eric Bailly can be expected to substitute for him.

My Foxes starting XI is: Kasper Schmeichel, Christian Fuchs, Caglar Soyuncu, Wesley Fofana, Marc Albrighton, Timothy Castagne, Wilfred Ndidi, Youri Tielemans, James Maddison, Jamie Vardy, and Kelechi Iheanacho.

Despite Ndidi, Madders, Cags, and the insane Little Wes not quite looking themselves during the Newcastle United match, we have got to back these world class talents to turn up for this big match and contribute when it matters most.

Hamza Choudhury would be a great impact sub to up our defensive tempo in the second half, where United will start to become more dangerous as they shift through the gears.

Manchester United will have to rotate, as they soon face Liverpool in their second attempt at that match. Expect Alex Telles and perhaps wonderkid Mason Greenwood to start.

This will be a tough match, but the team can go out there and get a result if they remain determined. Up the Foxes!
