    Know the opposition



    Leicester City Football Club (nicknamed The Foxes, The Blues, City, and Blue Army), are a professional football club based in Leicester. Leicester City was founded in 1884 by a group of old boys of Wyggeston School as Leicester Fosse, before joining the Football Association in 1890. In 1919, when League football resumed after World War I, Leicester Fosse ceased trading due to financial difficulties of which little is known. The club was reformed as Leicester City Football Club, particularly appropriate as the borough of Leicester had recently been given city status.

    Leicester City have enjoyed moderate success through the years - winning 3 League Cups, and reaching the final of the FA Cup 4 times - prior to their odds-defying Premier League title win in 2015/16. Leicester City's most prominent rivals are Nottingham Forest, Coventry City and Derby County, and they have been playing their home games at The King Power Stadium (originally named Filbert Way) since 2002.

    Think we’ll grab a win but its going to be a tough one. If the players fight til the end like today I see nothing else but a win.
    1-2 United.

    Team should be...

    -----------------De Gea-----------------
    AWB--Lindelof--Maguire--Shaw
    -------Fred---------------Pogba-------
    --------------Fernandes--------------
    Greenwood------------Rashford
    -----------------Martial-----------------

    Subs: Henderson, Tuanzebe, Bailly, Telles, Matic, VDB, James, Cavani, Lingard

    If McTominay is fit him for Pogba in the starting XI

    We’re awful at home. I fancy you to beat us, in a game similar to last season.

    It's cliche and meme as feck at this point but it's a test for OGS and this team, in that it's a game that can be half-considered a title race game... something he's not been involved in yet.

    Awful scheduling. Why are we early Saturday after playing late Wednesday? This happened for our Everton PL game too.

    If offered a guaranteed draw right now I'd take it.

    We just need to mark Vardy and ensure he doesn’t get chances. He is by far their biggest goal threat.

    If we don’t beat them, we don’t deserve to challenge for the title.

    If we're playing Cavani, I want us to play Telles.

    Do think Greenwood deserves another start though.

    Urgh really hate these early fixtures. It means I'll miss the majority of the game.

    Expect De Gea, Lindelof, AWB, Shaw, Fred, Martial and Rashford to start this one.

    If McTominay is fit, then he starts as well with Maguire and Fernandes. That leaves one spot for one of Greenwood, Cavani and Pogba to fill. Hope James, Matic and Van de Beek get no where near the team.

    I'd go:


    De Gea
    AWB Lindelof Maguire Shaw
    McTominay Fred
    Bruno Pogba
    Martial Rashford​

    We are due a reality check. I think our lack of a CB with pace will be exposed.
    I hope I’m wrong but have a feeling it’ll be 2-1 Leicester.

    I don't get the kick off time but whatever.

    De Gea
    AWB--Lindelof--Maguire--Shaw
    Fred--Pogba
    Greenwood--Bruno--Rashford
    Martial

    Subs: Henderson; Tuanzebe, Bailly, Telles; Matic, VdB, Mata; James, Cavani

    I think McTominay will miss out due to injury but if not then I'd start him instead of Pogba.​

    Huge game. Hopefully after last two games we are on the road to sorting out home form out. Could make a big statement here.

    Going United win, 3-1.


    Edit. Just seen its away.
