Match Facts |
Manchester United squared off against Leicester City at the King Power Stadium on Thursday evening to record their third successive win in the Premier League.
SportsNight Possible LineUp⚽Man United XI: De Gea; Dalot, Varane, Martinez, Malacia; Casemiro, Eriksen; Elanga, Fernandes, Sancho; Rashford.
⚽Leicester City XI: Ward; Castagne, Amartey, Evans, Justin; Ndidi, Tielemans, Dewsbury-Hall; Perez, Barnes; Vardy.
The Foxes, meanwhile, are still searching for their first win in the top flight and are currently bottom of the standings. Ahead of the meeting with Liverpool, United boss Erik ten Haag was naturally concerned that his side would succumb to a third straight defeat in the Premier League. However, within two games, United's mood at Old Trafford improved following a 2-1 victory over bitter rivals Liverpool followed by a 1-0 win at Southampton.
The latest victory came in a completely different setting and atmosphere to Liverpool's, but Ten Haag will take confidence from trying to turn United into a team lacking character and passion against inferior teams. Division. Bruno Fernandes answered criticism of his form with a superb finish at St Mary's to get on the scoresheet for the first time since May 2.
Although the ten Haag will not be swayed by the fact that he has scored just four times in as many games as his side, they have come through the first phase of their test of character in fine form. Brendan Rodgers will need a similar response from his Leicester players after the club have lost three matches in a row in the Premier League.
Unlike against Arsenal and Southampton, there were positives to take from the display at Chelsea, although let's not forget that the Foxes played 62 minutes and extra time against 10 men. Constant speculation about key men certainly hasn't helped Leicester, but that shouldn't be used as an excuse when so many players have performed poorly in the early weeks of the season.
Only James Maddison has performed at a high level and Rodgers will be desperate for the playmaker to return to the squad after a minor muscle injury. Leicester come into the match on a five-game unbeaten run against United, having last beaten the hosts on a Thursday in July 2020.
