The English Premier League is kicks off this weekend with some mouth watering fixtures. Unusually, the season begins on a friday with Manchester United and Leicester City playing the lone fixture. United will be without a number of first team players due to injuries and post World Cup rest for players such as Lukaku and Paul Pogba who is being linked with a move to Barcelona or Juventus. Manchester United has had a very tough preseason with Alexis Sanchez and Andreas Periera being the only bright sparks. Leicester City comes into the fixture as underdogs but will back themselves to come away with something from this match.
Players to watch: Alexis Sanchez begins his first full season with United and has a lot to prove. Mourihno’s tactics will limit his natural gameplay but he should be able to find openings and may get on the scoresheet
Ineacheo looks very good in preseason and has scored a few goals in the period he should cause Manchester United some amount of trouble with his speed.
Expected outcome Manchester United to edge it 2-1
