Leicester City hosts Manchester United in the Premier League later today, with Ruud van Nistelrooy in desperate need of a win against his former side.
The Foxes find themselves nine points adrift of safety ahead of kick-off, with time running out if they’re to remain in the top flight for next season. As things stand, they’re set to go straight back down to the Championship alongside Southampton and Ipswich.
They’ll need to pick up a positive result against a United side that has shown some signs of recovery recently under Ruben Amorim, having gone unbeaten in their last three league games, as well booking a place in the quarter-finals of the Europa League during the week.
