Leicester is back in action on Sunday afternoon, playing Man Utd away. After this we have an international break before Chelsea comes to visit the week after.
Leicester will possibly miss Bobby De Cordova-Reid for this venue. Jacub Stolarczyk, Hamza Choudhury and Patson Daka are still out.
Leicester will possibly make one or two changes from the starting line-up from the game vs. Ipswich. Bouba Soumara is one to see in the line-up, potentially dropping either Stephy Mavididi or Abdul Fatawu, placing Facondu Bounanotte out wide. We could also see a change in defence, bringing James Justin back in to replace Victor Kristiansen.
Leicester will of course be a total different set-up than that two weeks ago, when a topped Man Utd trashed the line-up fielded by Steve Cooper. We believe it will be an even game, and the carrot of this is of course that a win would see Leicester pass Man Utd in the table.

Manchester United Football Club, commonly referred to as Man United (often stylised as Man Utd) or simply United, is a professional football club based in Old Trafford, Greater Manchester, England. They compete in the Premier League, the top tier of English football. Nicknamed the Red Devils, they were founded as Newton Heath LYR Football Club in 1878, but changed their name to Manchester United in 1902. After a spell playing in Clayton, Manchester, the club moved to their current stadium, Old Trafford, in 1910, read more
Kit:
Manchester United’s partnership with adidas will continue for the 2024-25 season, with the German sportswear manufacturer having agreed a £900 million ($1.15bn) extension to their deal with the Red Devils that will see them be the club’s primary kit supplier until 2035. United reportedly agreed a £60m-a-year world-record deal with Qualcomm Technologies back in September 2023, as Snapdragon will replace TeamViewer as the new shirt sponsor. So, what will the likes of Alejandro Garnacho, Marcus Rashford, Lisandro Martinez and Bruno Fernandes be wearing when they feature for United this season? GOAL brings you everything you need to know. Manchester United’s new home kit for the 2024-25 season was officially revealed on July 1, 2024., with a unique glowing effect given the graphically embossed shades of red in a rayon-style fabric. TeamViewer has been replaced by Snapdragon as the primary shirt sponsor emblazoned across the waist, with the design inspired from the classic shirts worn by the Busby Babes.
The ‘fluorescent materials’ used are believed to aid players in seeing each other better under the floodlights, showing the different gradients of red depending on how light reflects off it. Thus the home kit includes bold experiments with colours over time. As for how much the 2024-25 home kit will cost, it will be £80 ($100) for a standard adult shirt, with the authentic strip to cost £110 ($140).
