Manchester United head into this fixture full of confidence and dreaming of a sneaky title charge, as they sit just five points behind Manchester City and Arsenal at the top of the table. While a big ask, their form of late has been exceptional, and anything is possible with Marcus Rashford fit and firing like he is.
Leicester City are also in high sprits as they head to Old Trafford, having climbed clear of the relegation zone with two convincing performances against Aston Villa and Tottenham in recent games. They're not out of the woods yet, though, so will be doing everything in their power to grab a result against United.
Games are usually frenetic and high-tempo when these sides meet, with goals aplenty featuring in clashes between the pair over the years. With Manchester United's expansive football, expect even more.
Kick-off is at 2pm GMT. Make sure you know how to watch the Premier League wherever you are.
Team news
Casemiro is serving the final game of his three-match suspension, while Scott McTominay, Anthony Martial, Antony, Christian Eriksen and Donny van de Beek are all out injured for Manchester United.
Alejandro Garnacho starts on the wing, while Marcel Sabitzer takes Casemiro's place at the base of the midfield.
Leicester are without the injured trio of Ryan Bertrand, Jonny Evans and James Justin, but the arrivals of Harry Souttar and Victor Kristiansen in the January window have helped alleviate Brendan Rodgers' defensive woes.
Manchester United XI: De Gea; Dalot, Lindelof, Martinez, Shaw; Fred, Sabitzer; Bruno, Rashford, Garnacho; Weghorst.
Leicester XI: Ward; Castagne, Souttar, Faes, Kristiansen; Mendy, Dewsbury-Hall; Maddison, Barnes, Tete; Iheanacho.
Form
Manchester United come into this game off the back of an away win at Leeds United in the league, and a draw away against Barcelona in the Europa League. United haven't lost at home in the Premier League since their opening day defeat against Brighton, and come into this fixture full of confidence. They're third in the table.
Leicester City look on an upward trajectory after scoring four goals in each of their last two games, dispatching Aston Villa and Tottenham in consecutive fixtures. 13th in the table but by no means clear of the drop zone as they still look nervously over their shoulders.

VPN guide
Use a VPN to watch Premier League football from outside your country
If you’re out of the country for a Premier League fixture, then you won't be able to watch on your domestic streaming service as usual. The broadcaster knows where you are because of your IP address (boo!) and blocks you from watching it. You can use a VPN to get around that, though, without resorting to illegal feeds you’ve found on Reddit.
A Virtual Private Network (VPN), assuming it complies with your broadcaster’s T&Cs, creates a private connection between your device and t'internet, meaning the service can’t work out where you are and will let you watch. And all the info going between is entirely encrypted, anonymous and safe – and that's a result.
There are plenty of good-value options out there. For the Premier League, FourFourTwo currently recommends:
