When does Cavani's ban kick in? I'd play him until it does assuming its in the next couple of weeksHope we start with the sort of sharpness and urgency we did against Everton.
and LeedsI pray the lads are up for it and we have a but of luck.How bloody good does it feel waking up to a big December game hoping for a win to ramp up a title race.
Saying that I'd take a draw if offered now, hoping to follow up with 2 wins. I think pool will drop points away at Southampton before we head to anfieldThings have gone too well in recent games, we're due a kick in the bollocks and we can't keep beating these lot
Got to go all out for this one obviously, anyone know if Lindelof, AWB & McT will be fit for this one?I’m really nervous and exited before this match. Perhaps the most important match in the league so far. Leicester looks like our main competitor for the second place. This match is also an important indicator on our progress; if it’s of a more permanent or sustainable character. Today’s match will give us many answers regarding the team and manager. I really hope for the best, performance wise.Genuinely had no idea we were playing today. fecking great.
I've been waiting anxiously for this, yesterday felt like it was a Saturday so was already fixing myself for us to play yesterday, much to my disappointment. Game can't start soon enough!
Don't think McT is fit, the others could be.
I feel the same. We been riding a wave of good results, and feels like it is bound to all come crashing down soon.Things have gone too well in recent games, we're due a kick in the bollocks and we can't keep beating these lot
I expect Lindelof will play. His back injury is something that he tends to just play through, although we'll rest him when possible. I reckon AWB will be fine as well, but maybe not McTominay.
Yes, those six Premier title medals were given to him purely as a thank you for being there.Yea, Ole has never been involved in a title race before.
Sense the sarcasm...This is such a huge game for us. Win and I think we can firmly say we are going to be in and around “the best of the rest” after Liverpool. A convincing win and journalists might start throwing our names in as title contenders. It would be amazing to go in to the new year in the running - will do our squad confidence the world of good———————-DdG————————-

prediction:1-2 Cavani, Martial
He has until the 4th of Jan to make a case for himself.
I really hope Ole doesn’t put Matic in, his legs will not be able to cope with Leicester, I’d go with;
.......................De Gea
AWB......Lindelof......Maguire.....Shaw
..................Fred........VdB
....Rashford....Bruno.....Pogba
.....................Martial
Bring on Cavani, Greenwood and Telles
If McT is fit I’d put him in instead of VdB.We've got momentum on our side, it would feel extremely great if we can keep it going. Won't be easy though, but its strange how glad I am we're away from home.Absolute honesty, I don't see us getting anything from this - especially if we start slowly. And personally, I don't much like the Saturday lunch-time kick off. Not really sure why, just feels less like a weekend game than other times.
Would like to see Cavani given a start ahead of Martial but that won't happen and would like the french World Cup winning defence to take care of Vardy!!
And Leeds.
No. It certainly won't be easy.
Leicester are a very fast and skillful team. And when they are playing well are right up there.
We need to start quickly and try to score early. If we can do that, I am optimistic.Feel sorry for Leicester and their fans as this game will only end one way.
0-4 United.
Greenwood to complete his first hattrick for the club on the 68th-minute mark.
Any decent church will be ticket-only, so book earlyyou are lucky. In London and tier 4 - the only thing I can do is go to a place of worship! Maybe it’s time to find religion...
On their day Leicester are super competitive. Gonna have to be at the races from the off.Any decent church will be ticket-only, so book early
thinking of starting my own cult.

1-3I hope Lindelof doesn't start, I just think we need more pace at the back against Vardy, but I'm sure he will.Just start sharp please. Probably should hit them on the counter cause they'll probably go out to attack us from the of.
Ole's first real test too.I'm expecting an unchanged from Leeds lineup
Looks like no AWB so he might have to start.

United squad vs Leicester
Jesse Lingard is back in the United squad today.
United squad vs Leicester: Maguire, McTominay, Henderson, Shaw, Pogba, Bailly, Martial, James, Greenwood, Van de Beek, Lingard, Matic, Tuanzebe, Telles, Fernandes, Fred, Lindelof, Rashford, De Gea, Cavani.
I would be astonished if it’s not Maguire and Lindelof.For the first time this season we go into a game where we actually played really well two
games in a row. Attacking wise we were superb against Leeds, a bit suspect at the back as per usual this season. Against Everton we actually dominated possession and looked solid at the back, I hope I don’t eat my words and we don’t go back to the first half against West Ham or Southamptom. If we are good at the back today we should winI expect a tough game3 minute countdown for the line ups. Excited for the game.11:23Marcus Banks
Leicester unchanged
Leicester are set to name an unchanged line up from the side that defeated Tottenham.
Projected XI: Schmeichel; Justin, Fofana, Evans, Castagne; Tielemans, Ndidi; Albrighton, Maddison, Barnes; Vardy.AWB out then
Tuanzebe right back?That midfield is full of runners and players who can hurt us. Ndidi, teilemans, maddison and barnes.
Worried to say the least!!Bailly or Lindelof at RB by the looks of things. Otherwise unchanged from the Leeds game- Status
