Manchester United are wobbling ahead of their return to Premier League action against beleaguered Leicester City at the King Power this weekend.

Of course, being Man Utd, light tremors are portrayed as earthquakes, and in reality they're still fourth in the table with four wins out of seven games and level on points with Manchester City.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer does need a boost though. Results on the continent have not been strong enough, while Cristiano Ronaldo's initial firecracker impact has been dampened.

Leicester have problems of their own as they sit 13th in the fledgling Premier League table. They're winless in four games despite a hot streak from Jamie Vardy.

Brendan Rodgers still retains support from the majority of the Foxes' faithful, but he will hope to steer the ship into calmer waters sooner rather than later.

Our prediction: Leicester v Man Utd

Manchester United have issues in all areas of the field, but none of them large enough to warrant wholesale changes or a departure from the dugout.

Harry Maguire's injury could lead to a makeshift backline against his former team, Paul Pogba is likely to drop deeper into midfield to accommodate holes there, and pressure remains on Jadon Sancho to deliver big performances in a United shirt alongside Ronaldo.

United are unsettled but they're not in crisis mode. Leicester's main man Vardy could strike on the break to take advantage of United's leaks.

Our prediction: Leicester 1-1 Man Utd (13/2 at bet365).
