Brendan Rodgers Leicester City

Leicester City went down 3-0 at the hands of Jose Mourinho’s Tottenham Hotspur last week meaning they will go into the final matchday of the season under real pressure.

On Sunday, the Foxes take on Manchester United at home and the outcome of this match will determine which sides finish in the top-four and qualify for the Champions League next season.

Leicester City have kept a clean sheet in their last 4 home matches in the Premier League but picking up all three points against Manchester United will be no easy task since the Red Devils have been in peak form since the resumption.

Also, Brendan Rodgers is dealing with a number of injuries and suspensions going into this game meaning the manager will not be able to name his best XI during the weekend.

Leicester City team news vs Man United:

Çaglar Söyüncü is suspended after picking up a red card meaning Wes Morgan will once again start in central defence alongside Jonny Evans and Ryan Bennett.

Ben Chilwell is ruled out with an ankle injury so Luke Thomas will play as the left-wing back while Marc Albrighton will go through a late fitness test in order to determine his availability.

Wilfred Ndidi and Tielemans will start in central defence while James Maddison is an absentee for the match against Manchester United and he could be a big miss for the Foxes.

Harvey Barnes is expected to start on the left wing while Ayoze Perez will operate down the right flank.

But some rumours claim that the Leicester City manager could opt to use Kelechi Iheanacho on either of the two wings in order to provide more support to Jamie Vardy upfront.

Leicester City need to pick up a win in order to ensure that they are not dependent on the Chelsea result to secure a Champions League spot for the 2020-21 season.

Rodgers has a lot of absentees meaning his side will have a tough time in keeping the Manchester United forwards at bay. We have a feeling that the Foxes might have to rely on pure counter-attacking football in order to beat the visiting side.
