Jamie Vardy will be available for Leicester City after recovering from a slight groin issue. Çaglar Soyuncu (abductor) is being monitored, but the Boxing Day match may come too soon.

Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Scott McTominay are doubts for Manchester United after they picked up knocks in the 6-2 victory over Leeds United. Long-term absentees Phil Jones and Marcos Rojo remain sidelined.

Did you know?

Since returning to the Premier League in 2014, Leicester have lost five of their six matches played on Boxing Day.

Leicester’s 19 PL defeats and 60 goals conceded against Man Utd are their most versus any side in the competition.

Man Utd can equal the record of 11 consecutive PL away wins, matching Chelsea's run between April and December 2008 and Manchester City's sequence between May and December 2017.

The Red Devils have the most wins (21) and highest win-rate (81 per cent) of any Premier League side in Boxing Day matches.
