Team News: Antonio Valencia comes in for Manchester United, Leicester City unchanged

Antonio Valencia comes into the Manchester United team for Sunday's Premier League clash against league leaders Leicester City.

Antonio Valencia has been recalled to the Manchester United team for Sunday's key Premier League clash against league leaders Leicester City.

The Ecuador international's introduction is the only change to the team that started last week's FA Cup semi-final against Everton, with teenager Timothy Fosu-Mensah the player dropping to the bench.

Marouane Fellaini keeps his spot in the middle of the park alongside Michael Carrick, while Wayne Rooney will operate in the hole behind lone forward Marcus Rashford.

As for Leicester, head coach Claudio Ranieri has named the same XI that beat Swansea City 4-0 last time out.

Jamie Vardy's suspension allows Leonardo Ulloa to keep his spot in the final third alongside Shinji Okazaki, while Jeffrey Schlupp keeps out Marc Albrighton, who is on the bench.

Former Man United players Danny Drinkwater and Danny Simpson are both in the Leicester side once again. Victory for the Foxes this afternoon would see them lift the Premier League title with two games to spare.

Manchester United: De Gea; Valencia, Smalling, Blind, Rojo; Carrick, Fellaini; Lingard, Rooney, Martial; Rashford
Subs: Romero, Darmian, Fosu-Mensah, Herrera, Mata, Schneiderlin, Memphis

Leicester City: Schmeichel; Simpson, Huth, Morgan, Fuchs; Mahrez, Drinkwater, Kante, Schlupp; Okazaki, Ulloa
Subs: Schwarzer, King, Albrighton, Amartey, Gray, Wasilewski, Chilwell
