This weekend in the Premier League, first place Leicester City will take on second place Manchester United in a top of the table clash. With only a point separating the two teams, both sides will be heading into the game hoping to come away with all three points.

Disregarding the form of both teams, Leicester will have the slight upper hand given that the game is being played at the King Power Stadium, a venue where United lost a 3-1 lead last season as they fell to a 5-3 defeat to their upcoming opponents.

Apart from all three points being up for grabs, there are a host of other things that are worth keeping an eye on as we begin the countdown to kick-off between the two on-form Premier League sides.
