​Smalling admits Man Utd face tough Leicester test

Published on: 22 December 2017

Manchester United know they will face a very difficult game away to Leicester in the Premier League.

Both clubs lost in the Carabao Cup quarter finals, with Leicester going down on penalties to Manchester City. United fell 2-1 to Bristol City in normal time.

Now United must deal with the threat posed by the likes of Jamie Vardy and Riyad Mahrez, as they will want to keep pace with runaway league leaders Manchester City. Defender Chris Smalling spoke with MUTV ahead of the game.

"They know what they are about," said Smalling.

"And I think, when you play Leicester, you know how they are going to play. You know their qualities and their wingers - Demarai Gray is coming into the team and Riyad Mahrez is in form as well.

"So those are the players we need to keep quiet and, when we get the ball, we need to make sure that we get at their backline."
