Leicester v Man United line-ups: United weakened for top-of-the-table meeting

Few would have expected Leicester v Man Utd to be a top-of-the-table clash in late November, but this hasn't been a normal season.

The Foxes are top of the tree less than a month before Christmas, sitting one place and one point ahead of the Red Devils. And they have a chance to extend their lead with victory over a weakened Manchester United side. Paddy McNair starts at centre-back with Marcos Rojo the latest to join a growing injury list, although Wayne Rooney and Anthony Martial are both involved. https://twitter.com/ManUtd/status/670640887379181568 Three academy players are on the United bench too: Cameron Borthwick-Jackson, Andreas Pereira and Marcus Rashford. Leicester, meanwhile, can call upon Premier League top scorer Jamie Vardy as he looks to find the net in an 11th successive game. https://twitter.com/LCFC/status/670640874636865537
