But it's Leicester Dink. A side who know how to defend.

We may win, we may not but only an idiot would say we'll tonk them

Dunc you are starting to sound more like Hafi by the day

When though Dunc? The season is nearly done. All season our composure in front of goal has been a joke, and it's even more hard when we have created the third least amount of chances all year too.

We've scored only 3 more goals than Sunderland

It's not bad luck. It's the fact we don't create many chances at all.

SLM was the guy beating that drum all season and now he has been possessed by the ghost of Hafi

Are you for real? Have you not noticed how good our defence is?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Same defence that Arsenal put 5 past?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
No it's not we had Schlupp and De Laet (two wingers) at full back and replaced them with Fuchs and Simpson after the Arsenal game, when we conceded 14 in seven games.

Since then we've conceded 19 in the last 28, keeping 15 clean sheets and have only conceded eight in the last 16 games since the turn of the year.

I’m strangely confident ahead of the game this weekend, but I guess that’s what Leicester want you to think

Can’t see it being 3 or 4 though. There will be a goal in it either way.

leicester 1-0 nailed on..the best thing thats happened since forest in 1978...eat you heart out losers like wenger chelsea man city man utd...

Palace is a prime example of a game we could have, and should have scored at least 6.

i'm not saying we will beat them 4-0, but lets not make out we we havent had games this season where we should of scored a hatfull.

Morgan and Huth have had a great season, but i bet you theyre not looking forward to facing a frontline of Martial, Lindgard and Rashford.

I think United will win by a couple of goals at the weekend. Think Leicester will perhaps get overexcited and that may play into our hands. Strange things can happen to teams when the finishing line is near.

I think Leicester will beat Everton comfortably at home though to clinch it although it could be over by then if Chelsea beat Spurs. (I don't think Spurs will win there)

We're 3 points from the title and there are opposition fans still writing us off. I wouldn't be surprised if we lost on Sunday considering your record at home and against the big teams. No way we're losing 3 or 4 with the title in reach.

Our game plan is to make teams feel confident by dominating possession, thinking they're on top and piling men forward and then bang, we break away at pace and in numbers and score and once we're ahead we're very difficult to peg back.

Our in game management is top drawer and we back ourselves defensively. You'll have to play through our two banks of four and will be forced out side to deliver balls into the box for Huth and Morgan to get rid.

There will be no space in behind and the fact you don't create many chances you'll struggle to break us down. Arsenal struggled at The Emirates and we only had 10 men. The best hope United have is a penalty or a red card 👍

Morgan and Huth have had a great season, but i bet you theyre not looking forward to facing a frontline of Martial, Lindgard and Rashford.
----------------------------------------------------

They probably are. They've gone up against every frontline and done well bar one game. i don't think they'll worry at all. Their style of defending is basic but very effective.

Won't be surprised if we win narrowly or draw, but I see little if anything to suggest we'll hammer them.

We won't get excited, Ranieri will ensure that we're just as professional as we have been all season and the added incentive of being able to win the league and also Vardy being out again, is just going to make us want it even more.

We might be missing Vardy but we still have Schlupps pace to cause you problems and he frightens the life out of defenders with his direct running and frightens us with his shooting 😂

Neither are the quickest or most agile defenders going.

Lindgard, Martial and Rashford running at them is something they will not be looking forward too.

I want you to finish the job now but not on Sunday.

You could argue United's need is greater than Leicester's this weekend in a way.

I'm sure it would also be better for you to win it at home as well wouldn't it.

I do think you could get excited though. Even the teams who win regularly can get nervous although to be fair the games at the end of last season were probably more important to most of the players as some careers would have been on the line going down a division.

It really is an amazing turnaround though and completely out of the blue.

I can't see those three relishing the physical battle with two brutes of centre halves who give nothing away. We don't need to worry about pace because they won't be getting in behind, it will be balls into feet and Morgan and Huth up their arrse and three young lads against two very experienced centre halves is going to be their toughest test of the season.

we shall see

Leicester sit back, give little space away and the opposition get frustrated at a massively solid defence continuously stopping creativity from happening.

They are a tight unit that very few teams can get past. Hence why their defensive record is so good.

We also don't need to worry about them running with the ball because they have to get passed Kante and the longer they hold on to it the less chance they have of doing anything with it because Kante will just take it off them.

I think United have to forget about how other teams have played against you because we won't give you anything. Our determination not to lose makes us extremely difficult to play against and a point will do us and will probably win us the league because Spurs won't beat Chelsea.

I wonder whether LVG will adapt tactics to try to tempt Leicester into attacking and hit them on the break.

An early goal would be most welcome.

United have been decent at home recently and I would be disappointed not to win this match.

No matter who is where in the league it isn't outside the realms of possibility for the 5th place team to beat the top team at home at any time and this is no different.

Ar Red Russian suggests LVG may play a cagey game to begin with to draw Leicester out and perhaps in this game that tactic would be best. An early goal would be great though.

I doubt a wily old fox like Ranieri would fall for it. I'm sure they'll be content to come play for a point.

Players like Morgan and Huth are having the season of their careers, everything has just fallen into place for them and they will win the league and deserve it, but even the most avid Leicester fan ( other than Arro who is just a muppet) will admit that they are punching above their weight at the minute.

we went to their place and had 59% possession and more shots on goal.

people are making out that they are invincible when they are far from it.
