Leicester City vs Manchester United, Key battles ahead of Boxing Day showdown

 


Brendan Rodgers men would welcome the Red Devils at home as we look forward to an interesting encounter at the weekend.

Both sides would aim to give each other a great test while they would love to celebrate in the wake of the festive season with a win.

This would see players of different sides go face to face not minding the battle both managers (Brendan Rodgers and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer) could bring to the match equation.

 takes a look at key battles ahead of the Leicester City and Manchester United clash.

Wilfred Ndidi vs. Bruno Fernandes

Ndidi’s immense ability to read the game would be tested with Bruno’s amazing ability in the final third.

He would want to be a catalyst for his side just like they defeated the Leicester side at the last match of the 2019/2020 season.

And against the Nigerian International midfielder, the Portuguese star would need to be at his best as Ndidi would prove a point with his tackling prowess in this fixture after recovering from injury.

James Maddison vs. Scott Mc Tominay

Manchester United’s Scott Mc Tominay would be on the show after his impressive brace in the 6-2 win of Leeds United at the weekend.

However, with Maddison thriving in the centre of the park in this 0-2 success away at Tottenham Hotspur, the Scottish United midfielder would have his hands full in this fixture.

Maddison trickery and eye for the final pass would be up against Mc Tominay’s smartness in midfield as both sides square up against each other at the King Power Stadium.

Jamie Vardy vs. Harry Maguire

This would be a battle of experience as both sides aim to get the better of each other in one of the Boxing Day fixtures.

Maguire has played along with Jamie Vardy in the same team having joined United from the former Champions (EPL) Leicester City some seasons ago.

But the match would see the defender wage war against Vardy as both players would be rooting for their sides’ interest in the match.

Vardy’s pace and goal-scoring quest would be driven to the limit by the nimble-footed defender (Harry) as we expect an explosive contest at the Leicester City ground, known as the King Power Stadium.

Nnamdi Kanu Sends Important Message To IPOB Members From Detention

    The detained leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, has sent an important message to his followers over the Biafra movement. The embattled separatist according to one of his brothers, Prince Kanu Meme, has asked his disciples to trust and comply with directives from the Directorate of State (DOS). Boasting his belief in the separatist movement’s administrative structure, Kanu said “I’m DOS and DOS is me”.  Naija News understands that the DOS, headed by diaspora-based Chika Edoziem has been contending with authority issues since Kanu’s arrest in Kenya in June 2021. It has been observed that IPOB is in disintegration following Nnamdi Kanu’s rearrest and detention. The present situation of the Biafran movement can be likened to that of sheep without a shepherd. However, Kanu in a conversation with his sib...

IPOB: The Nigerian Civil War, commonly known as the Biafran War

  THE HISTORY OF BIAFRA AND NIGERIA WAR  Israel, Nigeria and the Biafra civil war    The Nigerian Civil War , commonly known as the Biafran War (6 July 1967 – 15 January 1970), was a war fought between the government of Nigeria and the secessionist state of Biafra. Biafra represented nationalist aspirations of the Igbo people, whose leadership felt they could no longer coexist with the Northern-dominated federal government. The conflict resulted from political, economic, ethnic, cultural and religious tensions which preceded Britain's formal decolonization of Nigeria from 1960 to 1963. Immediate causes of the war in 1966 included a military coup, a counter-coup and persecution of Igbo living in Northern Nigeria.
