Lying 10 points behind leaders Manchester City with a match in hand, Manchester United need at least a point against Leicester City to stay in the title race.

Leicester are seeking to consolidate their top-four status, and a victory at Old Trafford would take them up to third ahead of their final two fixtures against Chelsea and Spurs.
