Manchester United are no stranger to making history, but they’ll try to avoid to Saturday at King Power Stadium. Leicester City striker Jamie Vardy enters the fixture with a record-tying ten game scoring streak, but will have to earn the record-breaker against one of the Premier League’s top defenses.
Just one point separates these table leaders, who last year entertained with a wild 5-3 match won by Leicester. The Foxes trailed United 3-1 with 30 minutes left to play, but rallied late for one of best performances of the 2014-15 season.
That was part of a strong start of the season for Leicester, but the team faltered after the transfer window and finished the season in 14th. Claudio Ranieri’s men have once again started strong, but they haven’t faced a top-tier opponent since September. The Foxes have four of their last five matches, but were beaten thoroughly 5-2 by Arsenal before their rocket to the top of the table.
