Leicester City are hoping to rediscover their winning touch in the final game before the international break against Manchester United.

The Foxes face United at the King Power Stadium knowing that only a win will do if they want to maintain any hope of remaining in the Premier League.

Ruud van Nistelrooy has already hinted his formation, suggesting he will stick with the 5-3-2 formation that worked for large parts of last weekend’s defeat to Chelsea.

For those wanting to watch the game, supporters will have to wait until the unusual time to watch Leicester vs Man United.

What time is Leicester vs Man United?

Usually, you can find this sort of game kicking off at either 2:00PM or 4:30PM GMT if selected for live TV broadcast.

However, this time around, Leicester vs Man United will kick off at 7:00PM due to the Carabao Cup final.

Also taking place on the same day, Liverpool vs Newcastle United will kick off at Wembley Stadium on Sunday 16 March.

This is so the game doesn’t clash with the final and also has to take place on the Sunday due to United’s Europa League commitments.

What happened the last time Leicester played Man United?

For the fourth time this season, Leicester and Man United will cross paths.

The Red Devils have won all three previous meetings but the last encounter was the most controversial.

Van Nistelrooy slammed the offside goal scored by Harry Maguire after the footage revealed he should’ve been flagged by the linesman.

This time though, more importantly than ever, Leicester can’t find themselves on the wrong side of the law, or allow any mistakes to creep in, otherwise it’s curtains on their season.
