[2 man midfield]

It won't be very easy, Leicester have been diabolical away from home but their home record has not exactly been that terrible. A draw would be a good result for us but given the circumstances and the fact that we are still chasing top 4, we ought to go for a win.

I think if anything, this should be the game from the last 3 we should expect to win the most.

A point at the Britannia has basically been standard since about 2008, and Hull are a much improved side under Silva as shown by their cup showings against us and the game against Liverpool yesterday. Leicester are fairly gash this season though, and I'd expect the players to be even more determined not to make it three in a row.

I don't disagree on the home form point, but an away match against a team in the bottom 5 of the league should always be a winnable match for us. In my opinion, a draw would not be a good result in this fixture, at any stage of the season.

We will win this. If Martial doesn't start then Mourinho needs sacking. He doesn't have much of a leg to stand on if he leaves him out again.

So Martial is more important than Mourinho basically. May as well make the kid manager and put a statue of him next to Ferguson. You'd think he was a club legend and our saviour the way some go on about him.

 

[soapythecat]

FFS some of the posts on here, we are unbeaten in the last 10 and Leicester have lost their last 3.
I have got no doubts we will win today.

Totally agree mate. Glad I don't have to drink with these miserable fecks on match day!

 

[Cpt Negative]

Anyone know what parking is like around Leicester?

Yeah sure. He'll get a sack cause of that.

The less he plays closer he gets to Messi if you read some posts here.

Anyway I'm going to the cinema. Movie starts exactly at 4. Will turn out the sound on my mobile and hope once the movie ends I'll se a nice result and a few tweets about us scoring goals.
What I'm afraid of is I will check the result in the meantime, it's stronger than me.

Most of the doubt in the posts is to a certain extent warranted.

Sure, unbeaten in our last 10 in the league but 1 win in our last 5 in all competitions (as well as 3 draws).

No reason not to be optimistic today, but plenty of reason to be pessimistic as well.

Make sure you don't watch too serious a film. Like the guy gets Aids in Philadelphia and you're cheering like a madman.

 

[Burrow]

Leicester have not scored a single league goal in 2017 so far. Watch them blast 2-3 behind us today.

 

[newgiz]

I have no confidence of us winning this one. Especially after the results from yesterday.

 

[Litch]

Always tricky when we come to town....this is why questions are asked about mentality as not many players can deal with teams playing like it's a cup final against us irrespective of league position

 

[Ban]

Yeah imagine some sad story and I'm yelling there Yass yass.

 

[WPMUFC]

LEI haven't scored in four EPL games. Of course we play them today

Ranieri had no problems with it last year.

If your driving a bus the first two hours are free.

 

[superdry]

If Mo picks the right team which includes Rashford for late sub, not starting and doesn't bring Rooney on at half time because we haven't yet scored, we'll win comfortably.

 

[Catt]

I'm always negative so here it goes. Leicester are pretty desperate so no way in hell are we getting back with 3 points.

Well if you're negative or pessimistic you don't end up disappointed or so they say!

 

[sallycinnamin]

Cautiously optimistic Zlatan first goal.

 

[Mciahel Goodman]

Hoping for this:

--------------De Gea
Valencia--Bailly--Rojo--Blind
-------Herrera---Pogba
Mkhitaryan---Mata---Martial
--------------Zlatan

Expecting something more like this:

--------------De Gea
Valencia--Bailly--Rojo--Blind
-------Herrera---Fellaini
Mkhitaryan---Pogba---Lingard
--------------Zlatan

Pretty much this. Maybe a Carrick/Basti in the midfield as its an away game.

 

[CM]

We better spank them

 

[Sarni]

So Martial is more important than Mourinho basically. May as well make the kid manager and put a statue of him next to Ferguson. You'd think he was a club legend and our saviour the way some go on about him.

Losing 3-0 today with Martial playing full 90 minutes would be a better result than a 5-0 win without Martial.

We have a knack of making poor teams look good.

I expect

-----------De Gea

-----------Carrick
------Herrera
--------------Pogba
Mkhitaryan---------Martial
------------Zlatan

Shaw in, Blind unfortunately didn't cover himself with roses against Hull. Expect Martial in too over Rashford. Mata also not in for not scoring. Seems a Mourinho thing to do.

Subs: Mata, Fellaini and Rooney

 

[Mciahel Goodman]

Pretty much this. Maybe a Carrick/Basti in the midfield as its an away game.

Not sure he'll go with Carrick, having taken him out early in recent games as he's failed to control the tempo like he did during our winning run. Teams are isolating him and giving him less time to dictate, and he also looks a bit tired recently, which is to be expected.

Ideally we'd rotate him with Schweinsteiger, but Bastian has yet to start a league game for us. He also looks off the pace. He was good against Wigan, but even in that game he started quite poorly, improving as the game went on and as he found his rhythm. Leicester try to play a high speed game, quite physical. Not sure Mourinho will put Bastian in against that.

First one is jizz worthy, don't think Mou will go with it though

 

[Janson]

I have got no doubts we will win today.

I don't think many truly believe we actually won't win today, it looks more like a case of not daring to get your hopes up fearing disappointment again.

Realistically, we should be winning this without any issues.

This post will look pretty stupid though if we do actually draw.

 

[ColvaleGoa]

Pool and Arsenal dropping points has many convinced we will drop points today,,question is will it be 2 or 3 points dropped? Typical United, Leicester havent scored in 3-4 games so we will let them make up for it today.

Would not be the first one
I hope we do turn up today and get a result.

 

[Theatre of Screams]

After Ibrahimovic and Pogba both put in such fantastic performances in the second half, both notching 2 assists each against Hull, I expect them to be benched.

 

[Offside]

We have a knack of making poor teams look good.

We had it even during the later Ferguson years.

I dont , but trying to figure out Jose's team selection is hard .

 

[notcool]

I guess the expectation is that we will drop points again today after dropping points the last crucial time out. So curveball today is that we actually win the game.

 

[Ban]

Jose should slap all the players before the game. Go on there and fight, show some urgency, you're not on a vacation. Leicester won't just let you score and win..

 

[Freak]

I'm confident we will create lots and control the game. The uncertainty, like it has been the entire season, is if we can take the chances that fall to us.

 

[TrueRed79]

Arsenal and Liverpool have dropped points. Watch us follow their lead. I literally have no faith in this Utd team to win a game at the moment. Hope today i am proven wrong.

 

[Ramshock]

If we play Martial I will be confident of us scoring

 

[NotoriousISSY]

Arsenal and Liverpool lost, therefore this will be a draw.
