Free-kick to Leicester in a dangerous position after Mahrez is tripped by Blind. The delivery to the back post is floated towards Morgan but an off-side flag is raised.

Morgan and the Leicester defence are doing a good job using their physical presence to disrupt United's attacks and nullify the pace of Martial. This is shaping into an intriguing contest.
6'
A good open start to the game. There's an interesting battle in midfield brewing between Matic and the tenacious Okazaki.
4'
HALF CHANCE FOR THE FOXES! Leicester surprise the home side by taking a short throw-in, it comes to James 25 yards out who tries his luck but his effort is off-target.

Usain Bolt is in the directors box watching his beloved Manchester United. No sign of Zlatan in the ground yet.

EARLY CHANCE! Mkhitaryan takes an extra touch and rifles in an effort which is blocked by the defence, if he took that earlier that would have been on target.

It's a big day for Martial who has impressed off the bench so far this season and has looked more clinical than Rashford.

Mourinho is expecting a tough test against Craig Shakespeare's side: "I think they are the same team as they were two seasons ago. Are they going to be champions again? Honestly, I don't think so because there are many teams that I don't think all of them are going to fail. But in terms of qualities, I think they are the same team and they are playing exactly the same way they played before."
