Islam Slimani will give Leicester a new attacking dimension against Manchester United

With 12 goals in his last 13 appearances Islam Slimani is a man bang in form and one that will be giving Jose Mourinho nightmares as Manchester United look to arrest their Premier League slide.

United stopped the rot with a 3-1 EFL Cup win away at Northampton on Wednesday night, but once again failed to impress.

After successive league defeats against Manchester City and Watford, the sight of the buoyant champions rocking up at Old Trafford will be an unwelcome sight for the already under-pressure Portuguese.

Leicester followed up a 4-1 mauling away at Liverpool by easing to victory on their Champions League debut in Bruges and then beating Burnley at home by the same scoreline - 3-0.
