Intro
Manchester United and Leicester City lock horns for the second time in less than two weeks with Ruud van Nistelrooy looking to end his time as interim manager undefeated.
Red Devils Unbeaten Since Ten Hag Sacking
Erik Ten Hag was sacked as Manchester United manager after the Red Devils went down 2-1 away at West Ham United.
Van Nistelrooy was immediately installed as interim manager and has recorded two wins and one draw since being in the hot seat.
Sunday will be his final game in charge with Ruben Amorim taking over following his move from Sporting CP in Portugal.
Van Nistelrooy led United to a 5-2 win over the Foxes in his first game in charge, and he will be looking to end his brief tenure with another win over the promoted side.
Luke Shaw, Harry Maguire and Kobbie Mainoo are all still out injured, while Amad Diallo did his chances of a starting place in the Premier League with two goals in the Europa League 2-0 win over PAOK on Thursday.
Foxes Keen To Climb The Ladder
Leicester City gained promotion from the Championship last season and automatically they were labelled as one of the favourites to get relegated.
Although they are not in the relegation places, they would have preferred to have collected more points than they have done after 10 matches.
City have failed to win their last two Premier League matches with their last win being a 3-2 away win at fellow promoted side Southampton.
Jakub Stolarczyk is still sidelined with an ankle injury, while Hamza Choudhury is still out for a few more weeks with a shoulder problem.
Head To Head
Manchester United have the upper hand over Leicester City in their head to head meetings. The Red Devils have won 51 of their 101 matches with 33 of them happening at Old Trafford.
These two met in the Carabao Cup last month with Casemiro and Bruno Fernandes both scoring twice in a 5-2 success.
The last time Leicester City took three points off United at Old Trafford was in 2001 when Caglar Soyuncu scored the winner in the 66th minute.
United have won three of their last five meetings in all competitions.

Manchester United are just two places and two points ahead of the Foxes, but the mood at Old Trafford has changed for the better and both the players and fans seem to have smiles on their faces.
On paper, United would always beat Leicester City, but the Foxes turn up to play against the Red Devils and to be honest, you never know which United will turn up.
We are expecting the United team who have won two and drawn one of their last three matches to pick up all three points and to reaffirm legend status for former striker Van Nistelrooy.

Leicester City are big outsiders at 6/1 to claim an away victory, while the draw can be backed at 9/2.
Amad To Take Chance And Repay Ruud Faith
There seems to be no pressure on the Manchester United players since Ten Hag left the club. From the outside looking in, it doesn’t sit well with us that the same players who could hardly kick a ball a month ago now look like a well oiled team.
Something had to change and that meant Ten Hag leaving. Under Van Nistelrooy, players are taking their chances and the likes of Casemiro and Fernandes look back to their best.
One player who is keen to take his chance is youngster Diallo. He became an instant hero last season when he scored the winner against fierce rivals Liverpool in the FA Cup.
Although he has had plenty of minutes, he has not been able to hold down a proper place in the team. He got a start in Europe on Thursday and took that chance, scoring both goals in a 2-0 win.
He will be hoping that will be enough to convince Van Nistelrooy to start him against Leicester City on Sunday.
We fully expect him to be on the field at some point, so we are backing the Ivory Coast international to have an impact and score another brace on the way to a comfortable win.
You can back Diallo at 16/1 to score a brace, and we are sticking with that as we believe he could be the man to get United firing on all cylinders again.
