Leicester City will welcome the visit of Manchester United on Saturday afternoon, as the Foxes look to turn their form around after a very disappointing start to the season.

Manchester United look to challenge for the Premier League title this season after some fantastic signings, currently sitting in fourth place. Brendan Rodgers’ side have made a poor start and are 13th place, as they hope they can start to kick-start their season.

Here is how both Leicester City and Manchester United could line up for the return, after the international break, of England’s top division. 
 

Leicester City 

Rodgers has no fresh injury concerns going into the clash but still remains without some key players. 

The ever-present Kasper Schmeichel is certain to start in goal. Ricardo Pereira missed the last league game but is likely to return to the side. Wing-backs of Pereira and Timothy Castagne could take place on the left and right, while Caglar Soyuncu and Jannik Vestergaard are likely to remain the centre back pairing. 

On the right-hand side is expected to be the tricky and pacey winger, Ademola Lookman, who has shone since his arrival. Wilfred Ndidi is out with a hamstring injury, meaning Boubakary Soumare could take his place alongside Youri Tielemans. Youth graduate, Harvey Barnes, is likely to take place on the left side. 

Kelechi Iheanacho made his first start against Crystal Palace, and after getting on the scoresheet, the Nigerian could redeem his spot in the team. Leicester veteran, Jamie Vardy, is expected to partner Iheanacho. 

Leicester City XI: Schmeichel; Pereira, Soyuncu, Vestergaard, Castagne; Lookman, Ndidi, Soumare, Barnes; Iheanacho, Vardy.

Manchester United 

Ole Gunnar Solkjaer will be hoping to get three points on the board on Saturday afternoon, but it will be difficult against the Foxes

Between the sticks is likely to be David De Gea, despite a brief spell in goal from Dean Henderson, De Gea looks to have his spot secure. Aaron Wan-Bissaka is expected to take place on the right, while Luke Shaw is likely to play on the left. Harry Maguire and Raphael Varane are out, meaning Victor Lindelof and Eric Bailly are expected to come into the side. 

Fred is unlikely to play as the Brazilian is in South America with his country, so Scott McTominay could take place in the middle alongside Paul Pogba. Marcus Rashford could make his return to the side after shoulder issues, while Bruno Fernandes is likely to start in the number 10 role. Youngster, Mason Greenwood, could take place on the right-hand side. 

Upfront is expected to be summer signing, Cristiano Ronaldo. The Foxes will have a tricky job on Saturday, to keep one of the best players in football quiet. 

Manchester United XI: De Gea; Wan-Bissaka, Bailly, Lindelof, Shaw; McTominay, Pogba; Greenwood, Fernandes, Rashford; Ronaldo.
