A high-profile matchup between the current top two teams in the 2015-2016 Premier League season, Leicester City (8-1-4, 28 points) and Manchester United (8-2-3, 27 points), is set at the King Power Stadium on November 28 to conclude this week's Saturday games.
Leicester City is on a four-game winning streak and a six-game unbeaten run to seize league leadership from Manchester City last week.
The Foxes did so by trashing lowly club Newcastle United, 3-0, at the St. James Park last Saturday, via Goal.
Striker Jamie Vardy opened the scoring right before halftime then fellow Blue Army strikers Leonardo Ulloa and Shinji Okazaki added one apiece at the 62nd and 83rd minutes to complete the runaway victory for Claudio Ranieri's side.
The win gave Leicester three more points in the overall standings, enough to overtake Manchester City, who failed to gain any points last week after their loss to Liverpool.
Meanwhile, Manchester United also jumped over City to settle at the second spot in the league table behind the Foxes.
United escaped with a 2-1 victory over Watford at the Vicarage Road last Saturday thru an own goal by Hornets striker Troy Deeney right at the 90th-minute mark, as per SkySports.
Forward Memphis Depay awakened with a goal at the 11th to give the Red Devils an early lead before Deeney equalized it at the 87th with a penalty kick.
The predicted result is a tough 2-1 win for Manchester United. It would be a hard-fought match full of chances for both sides, but Louis van Gaal's men will prevail with a revived Depay.
Leicester City starting lineup (4-4-2 formation): Schmeichel; Morgan, Huth, Simpson, Fuchs; Mahrez, Drinkwater, Kanté, Albrighton; Ulloa, Vardy
Manchester United starting lineup (4-2-2-2 formation): De Gea; Smalling, Blind, Jones, Young; Herrera, Schweinsteiger; Schneiderlin, Depay; Rooney, Martial
