Leicester preview: Dumped out of the FA Cup
Ruud van Nistelrooy returned to familiar surroundings last week when he took his Leicester side to Old Trafford to face Manchester United in the FA Cup.
The Foxes had already been dumped out of the EFL Cup by this particular opponent and despite taking the lead just before the break via Bobby De Cordova-Reid, Leicester ended up conceding twice in the second half to lose the game 2-1.
Issahaku Fatawu and Ricardo Pereira have been ruled out of Saturday's clash while Jannik Vestergaard, Victor Kristiansen and Jamie Vardy are doubts but could make their returns to the side.
Predicted lineup: Hermansen (GK), Faes, Justin, Thomas, Okoli, Ndidi, Soumare, El Khannouss, Ayew, De Cordova-Reid & Daka

Arsenal preview: Lost the EFL Cup semi-final
The Gunners were already 2-0 down following their first-leg defeat in the EFL Cup semi-final at home against Newcastle and things got a lot worse for the Londoners when Jacob Murphy scored in the 19th minute at St James' Park to make it 3-0 on aggregate.
Arsenal gave as good as they got in the second leg but failed to take their chances and some poor defending allowed Anthony Gordon to score and wrap up a 4-0 victory for the Magpies.
Gabriel Jesus, Bukayo Saka, Ben White, Takehiro Tomiyasu and Gabriel Martinelli are expected to miss the trip to The King Power Stadium this weekend through injury.
Predicted lineup: Raya (GK), Gabriel, Timber, Saliba, Partey, Odegaard, Rice, Lewis-Skelly, Trossard, Havertz & Nwaneri

Player to watch: Myles Lewis-Skelly
Injuries have forced Mikel Arteta to offer some of Arsenal's young talents more first-team football than they might have expected this season but they have all taken their chance when it has arrived.
Myles Lewis-Skelly has seven Premier League starts to his name this season with the midfielder scoring his first league goal for the club during the 5-1 win over Manchester City.
This young Gunner has forced his way into the first-team squad
Lewis-Skelly is good on the ball and works hard in the centre of the pitch, something Arteta demands of his midfielders, and we're backing the 18-year-old to put in another impressive performance on Saturday.
