Manchester United vs Leicester City 01/05/16 k/o 14.05 Sky

Cantona's Collars

Possible Lineups:




Will it be a title party at Old Trafford or will the Foxes have to wait a little bit longer to get their paws on the trophy?




Manchester United

United have won six successive league matches at Old Trafford, keeping clean sheets in five of them.
Their record of 11 home wins this season is bettered only by Manchester City (12), who have played a game more.
Louis van Gaal's side have only conceded seven goals in 17 home matches in the Premier League.
The Red Devils are still five points shy of their lowest final tally in a Premier League campaign: 64, in 2013-14.
Wayne Rooney has scored 99 Premier League goals at Old Trafford. He is yet to score against Leicester in the competition since joining Manchester United.

Leicester City

Leicester are unbeaten in nine Premier League matches, winning seven of them.
Their tally of 22 league wins this season is a top-flight club record, and as many as they managed in their previous three Premier League campaigns combined.
They have the best away record in the division, amassing 11 wins and 37 points from their 17 fixtures.
Claudio Ranieri's side have kept 12 clean sheets in 17 league matches since Boxing Day, including six of the last seven games.
The Foxes were relegated three times in their nine previous seasons in the Premier League, and never finished higher than eighth.
Leicester are guaranteed to at least equal their highest-ever finish in the top division. They were runners-up in 1929, missing out on the title by a point.
Ranieri has won two of his nine Premier League matches as a manager against Manchester United (W2, D5, L2). Both victories were as Chelsea manager.

United to spoil Leicester's party...draw,I reckon. Hope I'm wrong.

MD1990

Leicester winning the league against the biggest spenders in the PL would be fitting.

NoviGlitzko

Gonna be a very tight scoreline whatever the outcome. Something like 0-0 or a goal either way. Sick of all this ~*fairytale*~ stuff about Leicester and Ranieri the media shoves down our throats continually.

Hope we (United) destroy them.

Leicester to be made wait a little longer. 2-0 to United.

SantryRed

A 0-0 bore draw most likely.

Harry Palmr

A bit of me thinks they should secure the title at home but it would be delightful if they did it at Manchester Utd.

GLaDOS

A boring draw followed by Spurs failing to beat Chelsea tomorrow

keeponhurling

I think Leicester would probably be happy enough with a draw ?
Keep the unbeaten run going.

Vardy back for the Everton game , although they may well already be champions by then

Why do you think it will be boring?

I fancy United to nick it. 2-1

AgileMyth

Im sure when this game was arranged before the season began they thought it would be a potential title decider.

I'd love to see Leicester thump them three-nil at Old Trafford, they deserve it.
And that's from an Aston Villa supporter!

Leicester wont want to risk losing and are hard to break down, United tend to struggle against teams that sit back and let them recycle possession.

PhlegmyMoses

The game earlier in the season was a drab affair that United probably should have won. United are a very weird side under LVG, from the sublime to the ridiculous over the course of a match, never more evident than last week's win over Everton. As a result, it's so hard to predict how this will play out. Gonna go with 2-2 and Leicester waiting another week for their much deserved title win.

You're still here? Jaysus being 2-0 down doesn't mean you abandon your team?

Hya Turtyturd,nice to see you are giving him moral support.:P

LuckyLloyd

No, I just love an under dog, and winning the title in the big dog's back garden appeals to me.
M'on Leicester...

At least this thread should be a little quieter today if things arnt going to plan for us.

Not convinced by a midfield of Carrick, Fellaini and Lingard.

See first post/last game.

Hope there's a winner today one way or the other. Obviously as a Utd fan want them to win but if they don't, would be great to see Leicester win the title today.

It feels great to be entering the end game with Van Gaal.

Was that the game that a more clinical striker than Lukaku would have scored a hatrick?

Schneiderlin has been the least impressive of the summer signings IMO. Sure Depay has been poor overall but he's young and it's his first season in the premier league. Schneiderlin is older, has played in the premier league regularly but has been mediocre to awful for Utd.

In fact I don't think I could overstate how much of a disappointment I think he has been.

Good bench for United today

Is it possible to mirror my Apple laptop onto my Bravia TV without the use of Apple TV or cable?

RobertKK

I am going to watch the match on the big screen and thanks to SkyQ I can watch the F1 race on the same screen in a smaller window.

United drew with Leicester at the King Power stadium, think we can beat them at home.

Bet the house, the dog, the wife and the kids on a Manchester United victory today. Best of luck to all involved.

"Team in transition" = the players we spent a fortune on in the past 2 or 3 seasons are sh!te and we have to do it all over again.

Rossi IRL

Poor decision that. He won the ball.

Since when are you a Leicester fan?

Valencia has been great since his return from injury in the little time he's played.
