Football news - Leicester vs Manchester United team news: Alexis Sanchez handed rare league start
Updated 03/02/2019 at 13:48 GMT
Alexis Sanchez makes his first Premier League start since the beginning of November as Manchester United look to continue their good form against Leicester City.
Foxes manager Claude Puel makes one change from the side that drew 1-1 against Liverpool at Anfield last Wednesday, with Marc Albrighton dropping out of the squad due to a hamstring injury and Harvey Barnes making his full Leicester debut in the Premier League at home.
There is no place for Deadline Day signing Youri Tielemans who will be watching on from the stands. Rachid Ghezzal is named among the substitutes after missing out against Jurgen Klopp's side.
Solskjaer makes four changes to the United side that drew 2-2 with Burnley as Romelu Lukaku returns to the substitute bench, with Sanchez coming in.
The Chilean has previously made just two FA Cup starts under Solskjaer and has otherwise been restricted to substitute appearances under the Norwegian.
Andreas Pereira, Juan Mata and Phil Jones also drop out as Eric Bailly, Ander Herrera and Jesse Lingard all start.
