    Destroy the cnuts!

    As much as I want them to win the title, I want us to defeat them.

    This one is tricky.
    On the one hand we are going to play the best team in the league (and Vardy, who tends to score against us).
    On the other hand, we are at home and have arguably the best home record in the league.

    So....to keep things balanced, prediction: 1-1.

    He's got charged for what he said to the ref after getting sent off, which should result with an additional 1 match ban
    Aye. He's suspended for our match and has not appealed but has requested a personal hearing to limit additional ban beyond our match.

    Oh he's already got the additional ban? Fair enough. I thought it was still pending.

    Based on what I've read I think the ban is obligatory with the improper conduct charge. Could be wrong. Can't recall the source of the article. Think is was ESPN UK.

    Oh I see.
    So he won't be playing next week. No matter what.
    Unlucky for him (he should've kept his mouth shut).

    No matter what happens this freak season, they are Leicester and we're Manchester United. Let's remind them of that and reak havoc.

    5-0 to wipe the smug off their face and stop the media hype too much but not enough to stop them from winning the league

    Well they certainly put Swansea to bed. I can see them winning the title at Old Trafford now.

    Spurs would have to drop points to West Brom for that to happen. The Chelsea - Spurs game is after the United - Leicester game, so Chelsea could win the title for Leicester.

    They still technically would've won it at Old Trafford if they win and Spurs draw at Chelsea as their remaining fixtures would be of no consequence.

    They'll shit it and we'll smash them 4-0. Well on our way for the best home record title.

    It's just a matter of whether we can avoid stupid mistakes at the back really. If we keep our heads screwed on we'll probably win. Although that is a big if.

    Yeah that's what I mean, Chelsea would be the ones who'll officially win the title for Leicester in that scenario.

    That won't happen. West Brom are done for the season.

    Would send a good message out if we can beat them, but we need to remember they have only lost 3 In the league in 35games! So this "it's just Leicester" talk from others isn't helpful.

    Yes but not in the sense that they can celebrate it at our ground, or sing about winning the league at OT, like the loathsome Arsenal lot do.

    1-1 draw. We'll control much of the game possession wise, but they will nick a goal on the counter as they often do. We'll press hard, and Martial or Rashford will manage to get us back into it, leading to a draw.

    I don't mind if they do. Obviously, I hope we win though.

    It will be a good reminder to some of our players, and a motivation for the up and coming players who have yet to see success in front of them.

    Could go either way.

    They'll have no lack of motivation which actually could be said about us but we all know how we usually perform after a few great results.
    Would love to see us trashing them but there's no chance of that so I'd take 1:0 win anytime.

    I'm all good seeing them winning the title but not at Old Trafford and I never want to see us losing a game. So I really hope we'll win this.

    Welcome to the home of sqeaky bum time Leicester. I think United beat Leicester, City beat Arsenal, United get top 4, Arsenal finish 5th.

    Just did a john lennon on the league ending.

    I'd swap Carrick for Schneiderlin and Mata for Lingard. He's bettere defensively then Mata and plays faster aswell, and it's worked good with him so why put him out? Mahrez is their most dangerous player alongside Vardy, who we really need to watch out for. When that's said his replacement yesterday, Ulloa, scored 2 goals against Swansea yesterday. Think we need to put pressure on their midfield(specially Kante) and don't let them dominate.

    Mahrez plays on the right for them, it'd be Martial/Darmian he'd be against.

    Lingard is far too unproductive for me, that's what, 11/12 games now without a goal/assist?

    I know, I just said that he's their most dangerous player. When it comes to Lingard he should've have at least 1 assist from the game against Everton. Mata isn't really a notorious goalscorer himself and with him in the lineup we play a bit slower than with Lingard in the lineup, imo.

    I want Leicester to win the league, but I think they can do it with just one more victory. I counted us out of top four ages ago and still think it's probably just beyond us, but if there's a winner in the City/Arsenal match then we have a chance.

    I think the game we're most likely to not win is the West Ham game, I really think we can win this one, especially with Vardy out.

    Saying 2-0 United.
