Leicester vs Manchester United preview: Anthony Martial, Paul Pogba in contention

Anthony Martial and Paul Pogba are expected to be fit for Manchester United's trip to Leicester on Sunday, live on Sky Sports.

Martial, who signed a new long-term deal this week, missed Tuesday's 2-2 draw with Burnley with a slight injury sustained in training, while Pogba was seen limping out of Old Trafford after the match.

However, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is hopeful both will be available as United look to return winning ways, having dropped their first points under their caretaker manager in midweek.

Looking ahead to the trip to the King Power Stadium, Solskjaer said: "They defend well so it's hard to break them down and they've got pace and energy up front, so it's going to be a tough challenge, but we like challenges."

Youri Tielemans could make his Leicester debut after joining on Deadline Day.

The Belgium international midfielder signed for the Foxes from Monaco in a deal that saw Adrien Silva move in the other direction.

He is set to be available, subject to clearance, as Leicester look to avoid a third straight Premier League home defeat and fourth loss in their last five matches in all competitions.

However, they did draw at Premier League leaders Liverpool in midweek.

Charlie Nicholas prediction

A first slip-up for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer in midweek, but being 2-0 down and getting something from it keeps momentum going. Anthony Martial has re-signed his contract, so there is a feelgood factor there - they are not losing any games and keeping the group together and they have their points to prove.

After going behind early at Anfield, Leicester did really well and I feel like I'm waiting for Puel to get the sack every game. They responded brilliantly at Anfield, they defended and attacked well, they did not get enough service to Jamie Vardy, but James Maddison missed a couple of sitters and they could have easily won that match.

So this will be a tough test for United, but I think it will be a draw with Vardy being a real handful and I'm totally not convinced by United's defence.
