Manchester United vs Leicester: Team news\u00a0<\/strong><\/h4>\n

United will remain without Casemiro<\/a> who serves the final game of his suspension this weekend following his red card against Crystal Palace.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Therefore new signing Marcel Sabitzer is likely to partner Fred once again in midfield with Christian Eriksen and Scott McTominay both out injured.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Diogo Dalot will be competing with Aaron Wan-Bissaka for the right-back spot while Lisandro Martinez and Raphael Varane are likely to return to the line-up.<\/p>\n

As for Leicester, Youri Tielemans was absent from the squad against Tottenham with James Maddison captaining the Foxes.\u00a0<\/p>\n

If he is absent again at the weekend, Nampalys Mendy and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall will play in midfield once again.\u00a0<\/p>\n

New signings Harry Souttar, Victor Kristiansen and Tete will all play a part after making a good start to life in the East Midlands.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Manchester United vs Leicester: What has been said?\u00a0<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Leicester boss Rodgers revealed his team are confident heading to Old Trafford but he has praised the quality of Man United\u2019s squad. <\/p>\n

\u201cI look at Man United and see the introduction of new players, Eriksen, Martinez and Casemiro,\u201d Rodgers said. <\/p>\n

\u201cHe is a world-class player. He\u2019s calm, he has quality. Thankfully for us, he\u2019s suspended. He\u2019s given them a stabilising effect. <\/p>\n

\u201cErik and his team, they\u2019ve given them good organisation. Then they have a collective group.\u201d <\/p>\n

He continued: \u201cWe\u2019re only looking at the next game. We\u2019ve had fantastic results and performance wise it\u2019s been good. It\u2019s another challenge. <\/p>\n

\u201cWe know we can play without fear. The confidence is in the team. We\u2019re the second-highest scorers away from home, so we know we can score goals.\u201d<\/p>\n
