Manchester United Vs Leicester City (1 - 1) On 1st May 2016 by seydam21(m): 2:55pm On Apr 30, 2016 |
Match Preview Claudio Ranieri is hoping his Leicester City side can engineer a Hollywood ending to their season as they go to Manchester United seeking a victory that would secure their first Barclays Premier League title on Sunday. Having narrowly escaped relegation from the top flight last season by winning seven of their final nine outings, the dramatic turnaround continued into 2015-16 as Leicester set the pace at the top of the table. Tottenham Hotspur's failure to beat West Bromwich Albion on Monday means the Foxes, who are seven points clear and nine matches unbeaten, require just three points from their three remaining matches in order to be crowned champions. The first opportunity to secure a maiden top-flight title comes when Ranieri's side travel to Old Trafford, home of the BPL's most-successful club. The Italian is confident Leicester will be able to complete the job, but wants to see a defining performance against Man Utd. "It is important for us to make a perfect game," said Ranieri. "The best away performance of the season, we have to do it. "It is good we are doing something special. And of course I am very proud for everybody in Leicester, for our community. "There is a good feeling about this story, but it is important to finish the story like an American movie. Always in the final it is OK, a happy ending. "I feel it is very important to be concentrated 100 per cent. The story of football is fantastic but you have to be focused on the match. I don't tell my players to stay calm, I say, 'stay hungry'." United, though, are desperate to remain in the hunt for UEFA Champions League qualification and will be brimming with confidence after booking an FA Cup final place with a last-gasp Anthony Martial winner against Everton at Wembley last weekend. Beating the leaders could play an important role in boosting their chances, with Manchester City and Arsenal, third and fourth respectively and five points clear, still to face each another. But Louis van Gaal, the Man Utd manager, expects a typically difficult match against Ranieri, citing his previous encounters with the Italian during their coaching spells in Spanish football. "It was never easy to beat his teams," said the Dutchman, who managed Barcelona, against Ranieri's Valencia. "Valencia and Barcelona is also more or less a derby so it is a difficult match. He has always organised his teams very good." Leicester's only absentee is striker Jamie Vardy, who completes a two-match ban. Van Gaal has no new injury concerns to contend with, though Bastian Schweinsteiger and Luke Shaw will not be fit to feature. Manchester United (from): De Gea, Romero, Borthwick- Jackson, Darmian, Jones, McNair, Rojo, Smalling, Valencia, Varela, Blind, Carrick, Fellaini, Herrera, Januzaj, Lingard, Mata, Pereira, Schneiderlin, Young, Depay, Martial, Rooney. Leicester City (from): Schmeichel, Schwarzer, Fuchs, Huth, Moore, Morgan, Simpson, Wasilewski, Albrighton, Amartey, Drinkwater, Dyer, Gray, Inler, James, Kante, King, Mahrez, Schlupp, Dodoo, Okazaki, Ulloa. Match Appointments Referee: Michael Oliver Assistants: G Beswick, L Betts Fourth Official: C Pawson Match Facts - After winning nine Barclays Premier League matches in a row against Leicester City, Manchester United have now won only one of their last three against the Foxes (D1 L1). - Leicester have won 22 BPL matches in 2015/16 – their highest ever tally in a top-flight season, overtaking both 1928/29 and 1965/66 (21 wins). - Claudio Ranieri has won only two of his previous nine BPL matches as a manager against Manchester United (W2 D5 L2); these victories coming in December 2001 and November 2003 as Chelsea boss. - Wayne Rooney has currently scored 99 Barclays Premier League goals at Old Trafford – the only player to have scored 100+ at a single ground in the competition is Thierry Henry at Highbury (114). |
