Manchester United will attempt to respond from back-to-back Premier League defeats when they welcome champions Leicester City to Old Trafford in a key match on Saturday afternoon. The Red Devils have lost their last two league games to Manchester City and Watford, although Jose Mourinho's side (seventh) do sit above Leicester (11th) in the table , with the Foxes only managing seven points from five fixtures this term. Man United It was all pretty rosy for Man United in the early weeks of the season, with a Community Shield triumph followed by Premier League wins over Bournemouth, Southampton and Hull City. However, this is now a really testing period for the 20-time English champions after suffering three defeats in their last four matches in all competitions. Leicester It was always going to be a difficult season for Leicester after their stunning Premier League success last term, but Claudio Ranieri 's side have made a solid start to the campaign, which has included their first ever Champions League fixture. Team News Anthony Martial revealed that he had taken part in training on Friday after recovering from the head injury that he suffered in last week's clash with Watford, but Mourinho has ruled the Frenchman out of contention with a separate injury. Wayne Rooney 's position in the team continues to be discussed and it was widely thought that Mourinho would drop his captain from the XI, but Martial's absence should see the England skipper keep his spot. Ander Herrera , meanwhile, could add an extra body in midfield alongside Paul Pogba and Marouane Fellaini. Mourinho did not address the injury situation regarding Luke Shaw or Henrikh Mkhitaryan in his press conference, but it is understood that the pair are both available for selection. As for Leicester, Kasper Schmeichel is expected to return between the sticks after Ranieri revealed that the goalkeeper, who suffered a concussion last week, had taken part in a training session on Thursday, although a muscular problem could yet rule the Dane out. Nampalys Mendy is still unavailable, however, which will see Daniel Amartey continue in central midfield alongside Danny Drinkwater , who is currently being linked with a return to his former club. Vardy and Riyad Mahrez were both on the bench for the League Cup clash with Chelsea and should return to the XI, while Slimani is expected to keep out Shinji Okazaki despite the latter's two goals during the week. |

Head To Head Saturday will be the 123rd meeting between these two teams in all competitions, and Man United lead the head-to-head 61 wins to Leicester's 33. It is actually a rivalry that dates back to September 1894, when Man United recorded a 3-2 victory in Division Two. The two clubs have also already met this season in the Community Shield and it was Man United that claimed the silverware with a 2-1 victory courtesy of a header from Zlatan Ibrahimovic . Man United are actually unbeaten in their last seven home Premier League games against the Foxes - recording five wins in the process and only conceding four goals in that time. What's more, Leicester have won on just one of their last 18 league trips to Old Trafford and that success was back in January 1998. Last season, the two teams played out a 1-1 draw at the King Power Stadium in November, before the same scoreline occurred at Old Trafford in May as Leicester closed in on the Premier League title.
