Manchester United and Liverpool will take the field tied at 7 points in the league tables. Both teams have 2 wins, tied their respective matches in Week 3, and lost for the first time in this season on Week 4. Both owed their last win to just one point as well, the only difference being that Man U’s victory over Aston Villa was an away game and Liverpool beat Bournemouth at home. The last time Man U and Liverpool met in the regular season was on April 22, a game that ended in a 2-1 victory for the Red Devils. Manchester has managed to dominate their last three encounters, in both league and championship play.
Leicester City comes into Sunday’s game with an impressive 8 points, putting it in third place in the early league standings, only 4 points behind top-ranked Manchester City. Leicester City’s lineup includes players from the Americas, among them Argentina’s Leonardo Ulloa and Jamaica’s Wes Morgan, who is also team captain. Star forward Riyad Mahrez, who is from Algeria, has scored four times in as many games, earning him interested glances from such top clubs as Barcelona and Arsenal. Aston Villa, for its part, has been unable to repeat its early win against league newcomer Bournemouth. Colombia’s Carlos Sánchez is the only Latin American in the team’s current lineup.
