Manchester United are still riding high in the Premier League table, sitting fourth with 14 points, just a couple behind leaders Chelsea. But that position belies the fact that they've only picked up one point from their previous two games and need a win here if they're going to be genuine title challengers this season.

The jury is very much still out on that one, because although Utd have clearly improved under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, questions remain over whether they're consistent enough to give Chelsea, Liverpool and Man City a proper fight this year. A draw with Everton and a loss to Aston Villa in their previous two games suggest they may not be quite there yet.

But a win over Leicester would keep them in the hunt, and could even take them to the top of the table depending on results elsewhere. But they'll be without several players, as Raphael Varane was injured while on international duty while Fred and Edinson Cavani won't feature having also been away for qualifiers. 

On the plus side, Harry Maguire is back from injury and starts in place of Varane. Cristiano Ronaldo also starts after his controversial absence last time out, while Nemanja Matic, Paul Pogba and Jadon Sancho are all recalled.

Whatever Utd's problems, Leicester City have more things to worry about. They only narrowly missed out on Champions League qualification last season, but those days seem a long way off right now. They find themselves marooned in mid-table and without a win in their last four games.

Injuries, particularly in defense, have hit them hard. Wesley Fofana, James Justin and Wilfred Ndidi are all still out, but Jonny Evans returns against his former club. Daniel Amartey, Ricardo Pereira, Boubakary Soumare and James Maddison are all brought in too, as Brendan Rodgers makes five changes.

Here's how they line up:

Leicester City: Schmeichel, Castagne, Soyuncu, Evans, Pereira, Maddison, Tielemans, Amartey, Vardy, Iheanacho, Soumare

Manchester United: De Gea, Wan Bissaka, Lindelof, Maguire, Shaw, Matic, Fernandes, Pogba, Greenwood, Ronaldo, Sancho

How to watch the Leicester City vs Manchester United live stream wherever you are

The Leicester City vs Manchester United live stream will be shown on many different channels across the world, but what if you're not in your home country and want to watch it on your usual service?

The answer is to use a VPN, or virtual private network. A VPN will let you tune into your home coverage from wherever you are — meaning that if you're abroad, you can use one of the best VPN services to watch the games live as if you were in your lounge.

Our favorite right now is ExpressVPN, thanks to its combination of superb speed, great customer service and excellent device support. It also offers a no-questions-asked 30-day money-back guarantee, so you could check it out without having to sign up long term.

ExpressVPN

Speed, security and simplicity combine to make ExpressVPN our favorite VPN service. In our testing, we were impressed by its fast connection times and by its ability to access more than 3,000 services in 160 locations across 94 countries. A 30-day money-back guarantee is another bonus.

Using a VPN is incredibly simple.

1. Install the VPN of your choice. As we've said, ExpressVPN is our favorite.

2. Choose the location you wish to connect to in the VPN app. For instance if you're in the U.K. and want to view a U.S. service, you'd select U.S. from the list.

3. Sit back and enjoy the action. Head to NBC, Peacock or another service and watch the game.
