S.P. Read Esq: MAN U v LEICESTER
Our daily columnist and pundit S.P. Read Esq. looks ahead to the the Premier League opener between MAN U v LEICESTER and finds the best opportunities available on Star Spreads, the home of sports spread betting.
It’s back !! All eyes on Old Trafford tonight for the Premier League opener between Man U and Leicester – a repeat of the 2016 Community Shield after Leicester’s remarkable season which saw them crowned champions with 10 points to spare.
Inevitably, it’s been downhill for Leicester since who have struggled to show anything like the magical form they did under Italian Claudio Ranieri.
They finished ninth last season – 34 points behind tonight’s rivals Man U and lost this corresponding fixture 2-0 which was also played as an early season encounter.
The team news from both camps suggest under-strength sides.
New signing Fred is expected to make his Man U debut on Friday but Antonio Valencia, Marcos Rojo, Diogo Dalot, Ander Herrera and Nemanja Matic are all injured.
Leicester’s manager Claude Puel will make a late call on both Jamie Vardy and Harry Maguire.
Man U have had a generally poor pre-season preparation. Manager Jose Mourinho said: “Now it’s serious stuff. It’s not anymore about friendlies, it’s not anymore about preparation, it’s about points.
“Any point can be crucial – you don’t know what is going to happen at the end of the season. You have to try your best to get points and even with the difficulties that we had with our pre-season, now I don’t think is the time to be speaking about that.”
