Recently promoted Leicester City will be
satisfied with their start to the campaign as
Nigel Pearson’s side recorded their first win
of the season against Stoke on Saturday and
have only been beaten by Chelsea.
A tough fixture list has already seen them
face Jose Mourinho’s side, Everton and
Arsenal and they are now up against an
improving Manchester United.
Louis van Gaal has spent freely this
summer, most recently securing the services
of Real Madrid superstar Angel Di Maria
and Radamel Falcao on loan from Monaco.
A 4-0 obliteration of Queens Park Rangers
suggested that Van Gaal’s team is finally
starting to gel, and their attacking options
are now the envy of most managers.
Leicester summer signing Leonardo Ulloa
has been in excellent form, finding the net
three times already, while former Galactico
Esteban Cambiasso impressed on his debut
against Crystal Palace, and could provide
some much needed quality against United’s
all-star line-up.

I see van Gaal line up exactly the same way today to ensure
continuity & cohesion (necessary if this team must gel
quickly). any tweaks in the start 11 in subsequent weeks will
just be one player @ a time or injury-forced...
