Manchester United continue their fight to keep pace with Manchester City and Arsenal on Sunday as they host Leicester City in the Premier League.
United fought hard in their trip to Camp Nou on Thursday night, drawing with Barcelona 2-2 in their Europa League play-off round first leg. They currently sit third in the Premier League table, with Arsenal having dropped points to City in midweek and United being the league's in-form team of late.
Leicester, meanwhile, have overturned a tough league start of their own which saw them bottom in the opening weeks to move their way up the table and out of the relegation battle. This improvement was shown with their 4-1 win against Tottenham last weekend, with Brendan Rodgers' side looking to have a positive second half to the season.

The first fixture between these two sides was played back in September, with United scraping a narrow 1-0 win at the King Power Stadium as they fought back from an awful start in the league. Here is how you can watch the match in the US.
The match kicks off at 2pm UK time on Sunday, 19 February, which means that it kicks off at 9am Eastern Time and 6am Pacific Time, meaning that it is an early start for some.
The match will be broadcast live on USA TV and Telemundo, with extensive coverage of the match before Tottenham play West Ham in Sunday's second fixture.
