Events
Match Events
- 0' What a night it is going to be! Leicester City FC welcome Manchester United FC for this crunch clash at King Power Stadium.
- 5' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
- 10' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Edinson Cavani suffering a number of foals already.
- 15' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
- 20' Over 20 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
- 24' Goal! Kelechi Iheanacho scores his 52 goal in 354 matches.
- 29' Both keepers have barely been tested. Leicester City FC and Manchester United FC are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
- 30' Harry Maguire has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a Yellow card on 30.
- 35' Ayoze Perez has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 15 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 38' The deadlock is broken! Mason Greenwood gets on the scoresheet on 38 minutes.
- 43' Donny van de Beek has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
- 48' Supporters expect more eagerness from Nemanja Matic, as he is very good at scoring at King Power Stadium with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
- 52' with the perfectly-timed delivery and Youri Tielemans makes no mistake. 2-1!
- 57' Manchester United FC come into this ranked in Array. They desperately need points to push themselves up the standings.

- 64' The whistle greets Alex Telles as he departs to be replaced by Luke Shaw.
- 69' Marc Albrighton has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a Yellow card on 69.

- 78' Magnificent from Kelechi Iheanacho! That is 52 goals in 354 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
- 83' Hamza Choudhury gets the nod from Leicester City FC. He replaces Jamie Vardy and will look to change the dynamic.
- 84' The whistle greets Fred as he departs to be replaced by Amad Diallo.
- 89' Jamie Vardy, a England , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
- It finishes all square. Leicester City FC and Manchester United FC share the spoils 3-1.
