These teams headed into the international break with plenty of questions to answer and both managers would have been happy to get the chance to regroup after some indifferent recent results. Leicester haven’t looked like the team who have had made a strong push for Champions League qualification in the last two seasons and their 1 win in their last six games was against Norwich, who have collected just 1 point. They looked like rectifying that situation in their last game, but they allowed Crystal Palace to recover from a 2-goal deficit to claim a 2-2 tie at Selhurst Park. Leicester have recorded just 3 shutouts in their last 22 EPL games, and 2 of those were against West Brom and Sheffield United, who were both relegated last season.

Manchester United have not looked great, either, as they needed a late winner from Cristiano Ronaldo to beat Villarreal in the Champions League and coach Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was then criticised for leaving the Portuguese star on the bench until the closing stages of the 1-1 home tie with Everton. With both teams having a lot more strength in attack than in defense, there should be goals at the King Power Stadium.
