The Premier League is back in action with another round of fixtures this week as Erik ten Hag's Manchester United take on Brendan Rodgers' struggling Leicester City side at the King Power Stadium on Thursday.

Leicester City vs Manchester United Preview

Leicester City are currently rooted at the bottom of the league table and have been abysmal so far this season. The Foxes slumped to a 2-1 defeat against a ten-man Chelsea side over the weekend and have a point to prove in this fixture.

Manchester United, on the other hand, are in eighth place in the Premier League standings at the moment and have improved after a poor start to their campaign. The Red Devils edged Southampton to a 1-0 victory in their previous game and will look to achieve a similar result this week.

Manchester United have shown tremendous improvement over the past week and are well-placed to stage a recovery under Erik ten Hag. The defensive partnership of Raphael Varane and Lisandro Martinez has been exceptional so far and will likely be called upon against a fairly wounded opponent.
