The Red Devils have recorded back-to-back 4-0 wins against West Ham and Swansea City to lead the English top flight with maximum points.
They will return to Old Trafford confident of recording a third victory against a Foxes side with only one win in their past six away games stretching back to last season.

GAME PREVIEW

The second-season specialist seems to be alive and well in Jose Mourinho.
Manchester United's superb start to the new Premier League campaign has them edging ever closer to Manchester City in the title betting, and there is now a substantial gap in the odds between the two neighbouring clubs and the rest of the field.
Romelu Lukaku and Nemanja Matic could hardly have hoped for a more comfortable introduction to life with the Red Devils and United have not only benefited from their impact alone but also the depth their arrival has created.
Whereas last season the team's plan B invariably involved Marouane Fellaini, this year Mourinho has the likes of Ander Herrera and Anthony Martial waiting for an opportunity from the bench.
After Christmas, the Portuguese will truly be spoiled for choice when Zlatan Ibrahimovic makes his comeback.
Leicester should present their sternest test yet if the evidence of the scare they gave Arsenal is anything to go by. With no fellow title contender on their fixture list until October, though, United's current run could go on for a while longer yet.
