Leicester City will face off against rival Manchester United on Sunday, placing two of the English Premier League's closely followed teams against each other.

Leicester City, coming out of a 1-0 win over Stoke City, is expected to be the underdog of the match.

Leicester City manager Nigel Pearson said his side must maintain their defensive strength, the Leicester Mercury reports.

"For any individual unit within a side to be able to do well, they have to be part of a very strong team," Pearson said, according to the site.

"When you look at the amount of set-plays and attacks in our final third that we have had to deal with, the players have shown an ability to keep their concentration."

Manchester United, coming out of a 4-0 win over QPR, is expected to be the favorite of the match.

Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal said he would like to re-sign Cristiano Ronaldo, BBC Sports reports.

"Players like Ronaldo give a lot of extra to a team, but I don't think Real Madrid shall sell him," van Gaal said, according to the site.

"Yes, but it's always a discussion in the papers, and I don't think the media shall buy Ronaldo."
