Both Leicester City and Manchester United will be looking to return to winning ways in the Premier League when they face off at the Kings Power on Saturday for matchday eight with kickoff at 17:00.
It has been a disappointing start to the new campaign for Leicester City who have won two, drawn two and lost three of their opening seven matches collecting eight points that have left them in the 13th position in the league standings, which is a drop compared to last term as a year ago Leicester were number two with 15 points in the League standings.
Leicester finished fifth and won the FA cup last season and have ambitions of finishing in the top four but now the Foxes look short of a side capable of claiming a Champions League spot as they are struggling to rediscover the zip that has seen them thrive under Brendan Rodgers.
The Foxes head into the match in poor form having only won one, drawn three and lost two of their last six matches across all competitions and are coming off a 2-2 draw against Crystal Palace, a game where Leicester threw away their 2-0 lead.
Meanwhile Manchester United have made a pretty strong start to the Premier League having recorded four wins, two draws and a defeat form their opening seven matches and currently occupy the fourth spot with 14 points, only two points off the top of the Premier League.
However, despite that, there is pressure building on Ole Solskjaer who have seen his side just win two matches of their last six matches across all competitions and are off a disappointing 1-1 home draw against Everton in their last league match.
Therefore, the Red Devils will enter the match looking to return to winning ways and relive some pressure of Ole and will fancy there chances here having just lost one of their last 15 Premier League away games against Leicester, recording nine wins in the process and they hold an impressive unbeaten run of 29 matches on the road in the League.
