    Dea gea, Young, Lindelof, Bailly, Shaw
    Matic, Herra, Pogba
    Lingard, Rashford, Alexis

    confirmed XI
     
    Bit utterly shite that Martial doesn't start, but he'll be dangerous coming off the bench. Hope Sanchez plays ok, low expectations with him as always.
     

    Leicester City team
    Starting XI: Schmeichel (c), Ricardo, Evans, Maguire, Chilwell, Ndidi, Mendy, Gray, Maddison, Barnes, Vardy
    Subs: Ward, Fuchs, Morgan, Choudhury, Ghezzal, Okazaki, Iheanacho

    Manchester United team
    Starting XI: De Gea, Young (c), Lindelof, Bailly, Shaw, Matic, Herrera, Pogba, Lingard, Rashford, Alexis
    Subs: Romero, Dalot, Jones, Fred, Mata, Martial, Lukaku

    Four changes from the draw against Burnley with Bailly, Herrera, Lingard and Alexis coming in for Jones, Andreas, Mata and Lukaku.
    Very pleased with Bailly's inclusion, I hope we play the split striker system even with Alexis, that way he wont get in Pogba's way.
     
    It poses a tricky problem.

    We have decent headers of the ball to counter Maguire. And fast enough defenders to handle Vardy. But not enough of either to form a coherent combination.

    Ole seems very good at coming up with weird formations to deal with a specific team's strengths. I think we could be in for another one.
    Yeah I'm sure we have a plan to stop it, sticking Fellaini on Maguire would've been spot on :lol:
     
    Bailly's there to deal with Vardy's pace.

    Matic will be asked to frequently drop between the two centrebacks Busquets-style. He's our best header of the ball, so he'll be important at stopping aerial counters and at setpieces.
     
    Shame martial isn’t ready but Sanchez gets another chance to show what he’s about. he won’t have it easy against pereira especially defensively.

    Best team though apart from that. So pleased Bailly is starting, hope he’s in beast mode today.
     
    Everyone knows Maddison. But one to watch out for is Harvey Barnes. Tidy little player.
     
    Solid XI. I can't see anything other than a fantastic performance after what the disappointment v Burnley.
     
    Lingard is the single most important cog in our attacking machine.

    We always struggle without him, even though others often take the glory.

    I'm a lot more confident now that he's back.
     
    Disappointed Martial not starting. Sanchez won't rip up any trees.
     
    Bailly's there to deal with Vardy's pace.

    Matic will be asked to frequently drop between the two centrebacks Busquets-style. He's our best header of the ball, so he'll be important at stopping aerial counters and at setpieces.
    Matic is terrible in the air. He is a total liability at crosses and corners, much more so than both Bailly and Lindelof.
     
    Regarding Sanchez, I'm glad to see him get a chance with what is pretty much our strongest team (barring Martial playing instead of him). I do hope he and Rashford rotate a fair bit as I tend to think he'd do better up front than on the left.
