GOAL

Man Utd 3-0 Leicester - Wes Morgan OG (44 mins)

Posted at 15:43

Surely game over at Old Trafford as Manchester United add a third. This time, Daley Blind heads on a corner and Leicester's Wes Morgan can do little as it hits him on the head and deflects into the back of the net. It is all too easy and United are going up to third as things stand.

Did the BBC not see the first game?

If this ends 5-3 to Leicester, I'll get that tattoo of EWB's logo on my ass >_>

ROCK YOU LIKE A HARRY KANE

[stokeriño]

Team to face Man City (4-2-3-1): Courtois; Ivanovic, Zouma, Terry ©, Azpilicueta; Ramires, Matic; Willian, Oscar, Hazard; Remy.

Was expecting Drogba/Cahill, but okay! Glad it's Ramires and not Mikel too.

Bench is weak as all hell though: Cech, Cahill, Christensen, Ake, Loftus-Cheek, Brown, Drogba.

[Plubby]

For sure, you shouldn't have sold Schwarzer. Play him off the bench instead of Cech: Pow, world class.

STURRIDGE!

[Thrilla]

Studge returns with a goal.

[Hobo]

19 more to go!

[Benji]

Your bet's looking good Thrilla.

My butt is EWB proof.

19 more to go!

18.

Did he do the silly dance?

[Baddar]

Classic United. 3 goals up and RVP comes off for McNair, concede soon after.

We were 3-1 up in Leicester and he took Falcao and Di Maria off. Just wish we'd keep our foot on the gas for longer.

[Thrilla]

He did a little dance

Made a little love

Got down tonight

[Nerf]

West Ham now playing without a single CB.

[Baddar]

If Utd win at Upton Park next week, I'm sure the Big Sam Out brigade will return.

In the absence of the suspended Diego Costa, Loic Remy starts up front for Chelsea. Cesc Fabregas is injured and so Ramires comes into midfield. Kurt Zouma continues at the back in place of Gary Cahill. Branislav Ivanovic has recovered from the knock he received against Liverpool midweek and starts. Manchester City pair Yaya Toure and Wilfried Bony are both unavailable as a result of their involvement in the Africa Cup of Nations. Pablo Zabaleta is benched and so Bacary Sagna starts at right-back in the only change from the 2-0 loss to Arsenal. Former Chelsea midfielder Frank Lampard is on the bench.

Chelsea XI: Courtois, Ivanovic, Zouma, Terry, Azpilicueta, Ramires, Matic, Willian, Oscar, Hazard, Remy.

Manchester City XI: Hart, Sagna, Kompany, Demichelis, Clichy, Navas, Fernando, Fernandinho, Milner, Silva, Aguero.

Villa down to 16th. Oh dear.

[King Ellis]

I agree, I'd say he's more of an icon.
