Saturday’s Premier League action concludes at the King Power Stadium where league leaders Leicester City face second place Manchester United.

Claudio Ranieri’s side are this season’s surprise package, with their impressive form taking them to the very top of the table with thirteen games played.

Their latest triumph came in their trip to Newcastle United last weekend, with the Foxes recording a 3-0 win – their fifth from their last six league games.

Matty James is the hosts’ only injury concern with the midfielder out for the season with a knee injury, with Jamie Vardy declared fit enough to feature as he looks to score for an eleventh league game in succession.

Vardy can be backed at a price of 6.5 (11/2) to get the first goal of the game with Paddy Power, with Leonardo Ulloa a 9.0 (8/1) chance with the same firm.

The home win is as highly priced as the 3.3 (23/10) on offer from Bet Victor with the visitors widely available at 2.4 (7/5). The draw can be backed at 3.5 (7/2) with Bet 365.

Louis Van Gaal’s side head into the weekend one point and one place behind their opponents having beaten Watford 2-1 last time out in the league.

Phil Jones and Ander Herrera were both subbed off injured in that game and remain sidelined along with long-term absentees Luke Shaw and Antonio Valenica while Michael Carrick is also set to miss out.

Anthony Martial and Wayne Rooney can each be backed at 7.0 (6/1) to open the scoring, with Memphis Depay an 8.5 (17/2) shot with a number of bookmakers.

Many will remember last season’s corresponding fixture – an eight goal thriller that was won by Leicester with the hosts coming from two goals down to eventually emerge as 5-3 winners last September while it was United who took the points when the sides met at Old Trafford four months later.

You can back both teams to score this time around at 1.8 (4/5) with many firms while Bet Victor offer 3.8 (14/5) for there to be four or more goals scored in the game.
