Match Ups - Vardy to have more SoT than Fernandes

Manchester United's poor home form shows not sign of abating, as their 2-0 defeat to Crystal Palace last weekend shows, and as Dave Tindall explains in his preview of the Red Devils FA Cup fourth round tie against Leicester.

United beat Leicester 5-2 at Old Trafford in the League Cup, and 3-0 in the Premier League, so Reds fans have reason to believe that their struggling team will defeat Ruud van Nistelrooy's men on Friday. But nothing is guaranteed and that win over Leicester came before Ruben Amorim and his stubborn 3-4-3 had arrived at the club. Van Nistelrooy was, of course, then the United caretaker manager.

Key to United's problems under Amorim have been their lack of fluency and cutting edge in attack. Bruno Fernandes has been deployed in a deeper midfield position recently which is baffling as the Portuguese is too lightweight for the position, a rash tackler and unable to get forward into the positions where he is most dangerous.

One man who always gets forward is Jamie Vardy who is still the talisman for a club that have progressed from seven of their last eight FA Cup fourth round ties. At 38, he is playing with abandon and desire, as if aware that their won't be too many more opportunities for him to perform on the biggest stages.

Under the Old Trafford lights on Friday night, Vardy is sure to give everything in a match which Leicester may relish as a break from their relegation worries. He has had two fewer shots than Fernandes this season, as the table above shows, but he has also played a game fewer.
