FORM GUIDE
United are 13th in the table but looking upwards and aiming to remain unbeaten – across all competitions – during van Nistelrooy’s time in temporary charge. The Dutchman, who once scored a Premier League hat-trick against our weekend opponents, will be hoping to oversee a third home win in the competition this term, following victories over Fulham and Brentford.
Leicester sit in 15th spot and have handled the step up again pretty well. Jordan Ayew’s injury-time equaliser earned a point at Ipswich Town, Amorim’s first opponents after the break, last time out. The former Crystal Palace striker also hit a 98th-minute winner on the road at Southampton.
Cooper’s side caused Arsenal problems in a 4-2 defeat at the Emirates Stadium in September and their manager said after the cup loss that Old Trafford holds no fears for his team.
