With a boastful welcome for the new Man Utd stars at Old Trafford as they hammered QPR 4-0, they will now face a tough Leicester City at the King Power Stadium who have impressed against the likes of Everton and Arsenal and will want to continue their current form and go into the top half of the table meanwhile, Man Utd will want to take those 3 points to possibly capitalize on points lost in the game between Man City and Chelsea and help push forward their fight back for Top 4.
Undoubtably, English record signing Angel di Maria is one to watch after being voted as man of the match in his two Man Utd games but it is also Leicester’s record fee breaking Argentine, Leonardo Ulloa that should be watched as he has had a sensational start to his Leicester career also picking up 3 goals in 4 games including goals against Everton and Arsenal and can possibly cause some damage for the current Man Utd defence as they are still trying to get the hand of life without Nemanja Vidic and co who left in the summer. Another to watch from Leicester is former Man Utd academy player, Tom Lawrence who signed with the Foxes on transfer deadline on a permanent deal so there could be a debut for the 20 year old foward against the club he was a part of since he was 8 years old.
On the other hand, for Man Utd there could be a first start for Radamel Falcao on the cards after his brief appearence off the bench against QPR following his Transfer Deadline move. It could also be a return for Chris Smalling as Louis Van Gaal confirms that he has now recovered from his injury and could be fit to play. Luke Shaw is also looking to start as he found himself as an unused sub against QPR and played in the 4-0 victory for the U21 alongside Adnan Januzaj, who netted a hat-trick in the game.
Predicted Lineup and Score
I’m predicting that we will be playing the same team that started against QPR with the exceptions of Luke Shaw starting left-back and Rojo moving back into the center replacing Tyler Blackett and Radamel Falcao taking Robin Van Persie’s place as he appeared to be off form recently and seemingly unfit despite playing the whole game against QPR.
I’m also predicting that Van Gaal will set out the same diamond formation after it appearing to be very effective on and off the ball last game and gets the best out of the star players such as Angel di Maria, Juan Mata and Daley Blind. I am predicting a 3-2 win for Man Utd as I think Leicester will have a good game attacking wise as they’ve shown previously that they’re capable of doing but Man Utd outscoring them through the sheer attacking power in Wayne Rooney and Radamel Falcao.
