Preview

United coach Jose Mourinho has witnessed his team explode out of the blocks, with Paul Pogba and Romelu Lukaku striking up chemistry through midfield and attack.

Lukaku seems at home as the No. 9, and his intelligent movement has given his new team a host of new possibilities.

The Red Devils posted 4-0 wins against both West Ham United and Swansea City, finding the net with precision and poise.

United struggled to kill teams off in the Premier League last season, but they have begun their 2017/18 title challenge with their best foot forward.

According to the London Evening Standard, Luke Shaw and Ashley Young have stepped up their recoveries from injury, but both are short of match fitness.

The Foxes faltered last term as the reigning champions, and ex-boss Claudio Ranieri was replaced by Craig Shakespeare on a temporary basis in February.

Leicester have rediscovered some of their verve under Shakespeare, who was awarded the job permanently in the summer, with Vardy leading the line with pace and endeavour.

The 30-year-old scored only 13 goals in the Premier League last season, according to Squawka, but he is clearly rejuvenated under Shakespeare.

United want to make the Theatre of Dreams a fortress once more after dropping points at home on a more frequent basis since Sir Alex Ferguson's retirement in 2013.

Mourinho has brought a firmer mentality to the team, but his defence will be tested by Leicester's fast transition.

Vardy will be a willing runner as he attacks the channels, and United will have to drop deep to close down the space available to him.

Despite the Foxes' early form, United have all the weaponry they need to claim the points in style. Pogba has been a menace through the centre, but it is his intelligence with the ball at feet that is paying dividends.

Predicted Score: United win 2-1
