Who’s playing: Buoyed by their 3-1 win over Northampton Town in the League Cup, Premier League giants Manchester United will be hoping to register positive results when they face defending champions Leicester City in the league. Claudio Ranieri’s men come into this match following their 4-2 defeat in the hands of Chelsea in the League Cup, but they seem to have regained their winning ways back in the league after dismissing Burnley 3-0 last weekend. All eyes will be on the Man Utd duo of Wayne Rooney and Paul Pogba, who have been heavily criticized for their poor performance for the Red Devils this season. On the opponent’s side, new signing Islam Slimani will be hoping to prove that his brace against Burnley on his Premier League debut last weekend was not just a matter of luck.
