    Leicester vs United: Team news and selection

    Jamie Vardy is set to be available for Leicester despite being substituted at Tottenham because of a hip issue.

    Defender Caglar Soyuncu is nearing a return from a groin problem but this game comes too soon.

    Manchester United will monitor Scott McTominay and Luke Shaw, both of whom were substituted against Leeds because of fitness concerns.

    Aaron Wan-Bissaka will also be assessed.

    Premier League

    United will hope to maintain their away record this season

    United have won six successive Premier League away games this season and will go into the game buzzing with confidence.

    Leicester haven't been as strong at home as away this season.

    They have collected just nine points.

    The Foxes will want to play to Vardy's strengths, besides stopping United's forward line.
