Leicester City 2:2 Manchester United

Salus Populi Suprema Lex · Dec 23, 2017

I have a bad feeling about tonight. Yep, they're going to ruin my Christmas; 3-2 Leicester. Please prove me wrong, United.

4-5-1

De Gea, Shaw, Smalling, Jones, Young, Matic, Herrera, Pogba, Lingard, Rashford, Lukaku

-----------Matic--Pogba
--Lingard-----Mata-----Martial
--------------Lukaku

Mciahel Goodman · Dec 23, 2017

Also think we'll win 4-0.

King.of.Red · Dec 23, 2017

Pogba is back. Hopefully with Matic to accompany him, he can create many chances and we can score many goals. Well, as long as we get 3 points, boring football is fine for me.

Valencia's out mate.

Did Jose say that in the presser?

Yes

Sandikan · Dec 23, 2017

Pogba into the fantasy team, so sit back and watch a mega performance from him.

Probably!

Kapardin · Dec 23, 2017

Beat Leicester, and we will be 5 points ahead of 3rd and likely 11 points behind 1st.

Comfortably ahead of the rest, but nothing to look ahead for. Talk about being squarely in no-man's land. :lol:

RuudTom83 · Dec 23, 2017

The next few months will test the squads maturity and attitude. Yes the league has gone but United haven’t managend to produce a consistent campaign since SAF retired.

Finish comfortably in second is their challenge now.

Tonight game will be a good test.

Android1974 · Dec 23, 2017

Shaw starting against in form Mahrez, is it really happening?

Leicester rested their entire team for this match. It is an away game so we are going to be outplayed. We just need to make the few chances we get count.

Not really, Maguire, one of Iborra/King, Albrighton all started, and Mahrez, Gray and Vardy played for an hour. Okazaki played 120'!

redIndianDevil · Dec 23, 2017

We really need a win in this match, Arsenal, Liverpool and Chelsea have all dropped points.

Godfather · Dec 23, 2017

Our attack better shows up today.

togg · Dec 23, 2017

Tough match I reckon. We aren't playing particularly great at the moment, depends which team turns up and whether we can string more than three passes together!!

Shark · Dec 23, 2017

I’m not very confident at all, especially if that muppet Darmian features.

Darmian didn't travel.

Hansa · Dec 23, 2017

One of the most important matches of the season. Chelsea, Arsenal and Liverpool failed (Spurs might do the same later), and a win would not only give us a great start to the Christmas schedule, but also a real advantage over the others, which might come in very handy indeed when the Champions League resumes. A nice cushion could make us go all in for the CL and FA cup.

Devil may care · Dec 23, 2017

I'm not sure if it'll be Rashford or Martial tonight, neither were great in midweek, kinda leaning towards Rashford to track back and help with Mahrez if Jose uses 4-2-3-1, but I'm hoping for a 3-4-3 with Martial and Lingard off Lukaku.

I still doubt it very much Mourinho is willing to see a 3 at the back system as our base, he almost only uses it as a reactive system against similar formations.

12OunceEpilogue · Dec 23, 2017

No Tony V? I hope that means Shaw starting at LB.

I've reckon a draw here, I've gone 2-2. I hope I'm wrong but I see us giving away stupid goals.

I don't think 5 points ahead is the kind of big margin you think of..

I just thought it has worked well for us recently and if Shaw plays it would give Mourinho the extra security or Rojo tucked inside him against Mahrez.

Yes, I prefer it too, and was expecting it in recent away games, but the manager doesn't seem to like it for games we have lots of possession (like West Brom away and even this one).

Android1974 · Dec 23, 2017

Anyone thinks, since Okazaki's might be rested, having played 120' lately, Mahrez might be their #10 instead of on the rightwing?

Would play him over Rojo

Catt · Dec 23, 2017

Bad feeling about this one and predict 3-1 to Leicester

Arsenal, Liverpool & Chelsea all dropping points. That means we will also drop points because god forbid we make it easier for ourselves and actually win.

Hopefully I'll look foolish after the match.

SATA · Dec 23, 2017

I think we'll win this comfortably. I have even put money on it. Perhaps it's Pogba's presence in the team that gives me the confidence, and Lukaku loves playing with him and feeding off his service

Canagel · Dec 23, 2017

Must win game. Would be typical for us to draw or even lose this. Maybe the fact we are away should suit us better.

Only the huddersfield game was a shock result. This season we haven't dropped that many points unexpectedly.

Thank God.

Harry190 · Dec 23, 2017

This is gonna be a rather comfortable win.

DomesticTadpole · Dec 23, 2017

Swansea equalise against Palace. The other Ayew. 1-1.

Big Andy · Dec 23, 2017

Got United to win and over 2.5 goals so any multiple goal win will do...3-0, 2-1, 15-0, I'm not bothered...

LoneStar · Dec 23, 2017

Chelsea, Pool and Arsenal have all dropped points, be good if we take advantage of that. Pogba being back is a huge boost to us. However the excitement is not there thanks to that 11 point gap.

Go at the from the off, no mercy, play Rashford as a false 9 with Lingard being given the freedom to run ahead of the front 3 at will

1-3

When is the last time United went at anyone from the off.......?

I can't remember

JustinC00 · Dec 23, 2017

Didn't this lot lose 0-3 to Palace at home last week?
