  • He has done it again. Marcus Rashford MBE!!! I screamed like an Arabian commentator. Manchester United had one counter of their own and Rashford made the most of it.
  • Dave Saves!!! Another chance. Manchester United cannot cope with Leicester's breaks. A well-placed header from Iheanacho clawed out by David de Gea. The Spaniard is in Superman mode.

  • Another chance for Leicester from quick transitions. The Red Devils are living dangerously. I tell you one thing though, If Marcus Rashford was wearing blue and not red today the visitors would be three goals up.
  • Leicester are absolutely ripping Manchester United apart of the break, another chance from a counter-attack.
  • Leicester have six attempts to Manchester United's two.
  • Another BIG CHANCE for Leicester, Iheanacho's first touch sends the ball too wide, making the angle difficult for a shot.
  • What a save David de Gea!!! Iheanacho played Harvey Barnes in, but the English winger did not manage to place the ball well enough. End to end stuff in Old Trafford here.
  • It has been all Manchester United this opening exchanges. The have Leicester pinned in their own half and have blocked all avenues for an out ball.
  • We are underway
  • Keelechi Iheanacho retains his place in the starting eleven, as Brendan Rodgers names an unchanged team from the one that dismantled Tottenham.
  • Victor Lindelof returns to the starting lineup for Manchester United in place of Raphael Varane, while Alejandro Garnacho starts on the left wing, relegating Jadon Sancho to the bench.
