Leicester City and Manchester United will be looking to keep the pressure on leaders Liverpool when the two sides meet at the King Power stadium. The Boxing day game between two in form teams has the fans in tizzy with some fast attacking football up for display. Manchester United after years look like a team capable of challenging for the top honours while Leicester City always seem to do well against top teams. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s men are set up to counter teams which has contributed well to their away form. It will be a challenge for Brendan Rodgers to break United’s quick transitional play but they are capable of nullifying counter attacking play as Tottenham Hotspur found out last week.

Leicester City’s star defender Caglar Soyuncu is not match fit yet and will not feature against Manchester United. Ricardo Pereira is struggling with a groin problem and still faces a lengthy period on the sidelines. Wesley Fofana and former Manchester United defender Jonny Evans complement each other well in defence with Wilfred Ndidi protecting the backline. Jamie Vardy and James Maddison in attack could trouble United with their precision passing.
Scott McTominay is a major doubt heading into the game after the late groin injury he suffered against Leeds United. Paul Pogba should come into his place should the Scotland international fail to make the cut. Bruno Fernandes and Marcus Rashford remain the in form player for Manchester United with Anthony Martial, who has excelled in the last two games, leading the visitors’ attack.
