Manchester United vs Leicester City Prediction and Preview – 01/05/16
Premier League preview – Manchester United vs Leicester City prediction.
Manchester United have no new injury concerns after their FA Cup semi-final win and Louis van Gaal could name the same eleven that started at Wembley last Saturday. He has lots of midfield options with Juan Mata, Ander Herrera and Morgan Schneiderlin all hoping to be involved. United continue without the sidelined Bastian Schweinsteiger, Adnan Januzaj and Luke Shaw.
Leicester City are hoping to clinch the title at Old Trafford on Sunday and will have to do it without leading scorer Jamie Vardy who will serve the second of his two-match ban. Vardy’s replacement, Joshua Ulloa, was substituted against Swansea last week after suffering a back spasm and will be assessed closer to kick-off. With the exception of Matty James who has not played this season, Claudio Ranieri has the rest of his squad available.
Possible Line-ups
Manchester United 4-1-4-1 formation: de Gea; Fosu-Mensah, Smalling, Blind, Rojo; Carrick; Lingard, Fellaini, Rooney, Martial; Rashford
Leicester City 4-4-2 formation: Schmeichel; Simpson, Morgan, Huth, Fuchs; Mahrez, Drinkwater, Kante, Schlupp; Okazaki, Ulloa
