Erik ten Hag makes five changes from the draw in Barcelona on Thursday. Diogo Dalot, Victor Lindelof, Lisandro Martinez, Marcel Sabitzer and Alejandro Garnacho replace Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Raphael Varane, Tyrell Malacia, Casemiro and Jadon Sancho.
Leicester, as you’d expect of a team in such sparkling form, are unchanged.
Manchester United (possible 4-2-3-1) de Gea; Dalot, Lindelof, Martinez, Shaw; Sabitzer, Fred; Fernandes, Weghorst, Garnacho; Rashford.
Substitutes: Heaton, Malacia, Varane, Wan-Bissaka, Mainoo, McTominay, Pellistri, Elanga, Sancho.
Leicester City (4-2-3-1) Ward; Castagne, Souttar, Faes, Kristiansen; Mendy, Dewsbury-Hall; Tete, Maddison, Barnes; Iheanacho.
Substitutes: Iverson, Ricardo, Amartey, Ndidi, Soumare, Tielemans, Praet, Daka, Vardy.
United have two huge games coming up: Barcelona in the Europa League on Thursday, then Newcastle in the Carabao Cup final a week today.
We're underway at OT.
Rashford nearly in there; he's the in form man, with 14 goals in 16 matches.
Good Morning, Bob. Thanks for getting us started.
Dod you hear that the Toon will be playing their third choice keeper in the Carabao Cup Final. Nick Pope suspended for being sent off and Dubravka cup tied. Either Mark Gillespie or Butterfingers Karius will be in goal.
Oh - big chance for Barnes - saved by De Gea.
Phew Harvey Barnes should have given the Foxes the lead . Nice one two with Ihenacho then a nice kick save with just De Gea to beat then Harry Suitor heads over from the corner
Morning, David - how are you doing?
Then Ihenacho with a shot deflected off of Lindelof for a corner
Doing well , thank you for asking. How about you?
Leicester seem to have come to play a bit.
Got a good night's kip, so feeling fresh
OH! David Gordon Banks De Gea with a Gordon Banks type save from an Ihenacho header
Wow - another great save!
Did you see what I posted at 9:07 about the League Cup Final? Surely United must be favorites.
Glad you had a great night's sleep. That's bonus. I had a decent night.. Maybe about an hour short.
Maddison is holding his groin, which is a big concern for Leicester. He’s been terrific in the first quarter of the game.
WAY HAY! RASH SCORES WITYH JUST DANNY WARD TO BEAT. AGAIUN ST THE RUN OF PLAY,BUT I'LL TAKE IT
Wahay! Bert Faes coughs it up and Rash is on his way. 1-0
Faes is Das? He gaffed us possession then Bruno found Rash who got behind Faes and scored past the stranded Danny Ward
Fernandes’s free-kick is only half cleared to Garnacho, who launches a snapshot into orbit from the edge of the area. He had time to take a touch there.
LOL! What's the Flemish for "donkey?"
I think that Faes is Das for Donkey
Off for some diaper duty.
Wout the Faes is that challenge from Sabitzer . Ist Scheisse?
Wout the Faes ist Das? Booked for a foul on Bruno just outside the box . Last chance of the half
The free kick Shaw ist über and United one up at the half
Back for the second half just in time to see Martinez hit the bar!
Welcome back. Please answer my 9:07 comment about the League Cup Final.
WAY HAY! RASH AT THE DOUBLE. No it's disallowed for offside.
Fas ist Das? He's kept onside. WAYT HAY! United two up
WAY HAY! FOXES SLICED APART EASY TAP IN FOR SANCHO TO PUT UNITED THREE UP
Nice one two with Bruno.
United in full flow now - romping it 3-0.
Still never answered my comment posted at 9:07. Please respond.
Congratulations, David! I don't really like the way that Ten Hag has United playing but it is working. You're right in this title race.
Thanks, Bob. Strange as it may sound we're entertaining compared to the way Jose, OGS , and Ralf had us playing. We've quietly entered the title race
