Both Manchester United and Leicester City are in dire need of a win as Ruud van Nistelrooy prepares to face his former team. The Dutchman scored 150 goals in 219 games for the Red Devils and was briefly interim United boss before Ruben Amorim took over in November.
Leicester are currently in the midst of a dreadful losing streak with six consecutive defeats and will hosting United with the threat of Premier League relegation looming large. Van Nistelrooy's squad has only managed one goal in their last 540 minutes of play and are languishing in 19th, a worrying six points from safety. United are not faring much better but have already triumphed over Leicester three times this season - in the Carabao Cup, the previous league match and most recently in the FA Cup. Express Sport (via The Mirror) provides all the need-to-know information as they look to make it a clean sweep of four wins this weekend.
When is Leicester vs Man United?
The schedule for Sunday's English football has been greatly altered due to the Carabao Cup final. Liverpool take on Newcastle in the year's Wembley decider, which will be squeezed in among a string of matches featuring Premier League heavyweights.
Arsenal are set to face off against Chelsea at 1.30pm, followed by the League Cup finale at 4.30pm. The weekend's Premier League action will then conclude with Leicester and United taking to the pitch at 7pm.
The rescheduling was also designed to allow Amorim's side additional rest following their Europa League match against Real Sociedad on Thursday. This isn't the first time this season that United have been allocated the Sunday 7pm slot, having previously played Fulham at the same time in January.

Team news
January recruit Patrick Dorgu will serve the final game of his three-match suspension at the King Power following his red card against Ipswich in February. However, his absence is just the tip of the iceberg, with Harry Maguire, Kobbie Mainoo, Amad Diallo, Lisandro Martinez and Mason Mount all among the injured.
Leny Yoro and Manuel Ugarte have also recently suffered injuries but may still feature. Meanwhile, defender Ayden Heaven made a strong impression as a substitute against Arsenal and could be called upon here after replacing Yoro, who suffered a foot injury in the 1-1 draw.
Leicester are less worried about their bill of health considering Abdul Fatawu and Harry Souttar are their only absentees. Meanwhile, Jamie Vardy will be eager to halt Leicester's four-game goal drought as he looks to build on his tally of six goals in 18 career appearances against United.
