The final Premier League game before the international break sees Leicester City welcome Man United to the King Power Stadium.
Manuel Ugarte was an unused substitute in midweek with Ruben Amorim opting not to risk the Uruguayan midfielder against Real Sociedad. It is likely he will replace Casemiro, who according to the manager was exhausted by the full-time whistle.
Harry Maguire will be assessed to determine whether he is able to feature against his former club while Patrick Dorgu is serving the final game of his three-match suspension.
United will take a cautious approach to reintroducing Mason Mount into action but the 26-year-old may be on the bench. Fellow midfielder Kobbie Mainoo is set to return after the international break.
Time is not on Leicester’s side as they try to avoid an immediate relegation back into the Championship.
Foxes manager and former Red Devils striker Ruud van Nistelrooy announced he has almost a full squad at his disposal this weekend. The only absentee is Abdul Fatawu, who is recovering from a long-term knee injury.
Leicester City vs Man United – Match preview and team news
Form
Leicester: LLLLL
Leicester are enduring a torrid run of form which has seen them lose six games on the spin. Their misery is further compounded by the fact they have only scored once in that period.
Coincidentally, that goal game against United in a 2-1 defeat in the FA Cup. This will be the first time they host United this season having faced them three times already. However, home is anything but comfort for the Foxes at the moment.
After failing to score against Brentford, Leicester set a new Premier League record of falling to score in six successive home matches. If they draw another blank today, that unwanted record will only be extended further.
