Manchester United vs Leicester City Match Preview
Leicester City have the chance to show they are better placed than Manchester United to challenge for Champions League football when they visit Old Trafford this weekend.
The door could be open for one club or more to surge up the Premier League table and finish in the top four this season at the expense of the usual suspects – and Leicester are looking the prime candidate at present.
Such a scenario appeared feasible when Brendan Rodgers took over as manager last February and made a strong initial impact which has carried through into this campaign, with the Foxes already in third position having started unbeaten in their first four games.
