I thought reports suggested the relationship between LVG and Van Persie is no longer rosy after the World Cup, so I'm sure he will have no hesitation to drop him.
Hopefully he'll carry on with the same setup as against QPR with a back four. Shaw can come in at left-back with Rojo at centre-back alongside Evans. Van Persie to drop to the bench and Falcao to partner Rooney up front.
More importantly, Di Maria should be forced to play with a handicap as he's that good .

Back four again for me, team as above except with RVP or Falcao on the bench, swapped over at 60 minutes.
Every time I see Di Maria mentioned it sents shivers up my spine!
I'd like to see the same sort of formation for Saturdays game as used against QPR. Four at the back, diamond shaped midfield and two up top. I do think Van Persie could benefit from starting one or two games on the bench. If Falcao starts and hits the ground running, it might give him a kick up the arse. I'd also love to see Shaw start, with Rojo moving centrally.
I completely agree with what someone said about not picking the team/formation according to Leicester and their form players. This is exactly the sort of attitude that Moyes employed and simply isn't how we should be setting up, especially against a team like Leicester.
Now now I'f u watched the Chelsea arse licking commentary on sky sports last night youd know chelsea are a solid defensive unit and Hazard is the fastest player in the world over 5 yards

Agree completely with all of this. And I'd add an earlier comment that Blind could always drop into the central defence to make a three when necessary. This creates a nice balance and flexibility. I'm so looking forward to Sunday!
Comments
It's why I never paid much attention to the wailing and dummy-spitting from certain sections when Fletcher was made vice-captain.
I also put RvP on the bench, but which team do you think would be best suited for the match?
Noooo, I don't want to be like Moyes!!:o
So who misses out there then, Blackett?
De Gea, Rafael, Evans, Rojo, Shaw, Blind, Herrera, Di Maria, Mata, Rooney, Falcao.
With all due respect, we shouldn't be worrying about what Leicester can do to us, and picking the side accordingly.
This team for me as well.
That team is good, but what about if van Gaal goes with three at the back, who drops out of that team to make room for the extra defender?
You asked what team I would pick, and that is it.
IF he goes for 3 at the back (and I don't think that he will), then I'd expect Mata to drop out.
However, that would make little sense given that;
a) We have Smalling and Jones injured.
b) Mata's in great form.
c) It's Leicester City. We can probably cope with two central defenders and Blind.
A big sloppy kiss for the birthday girl wouldn't go amiss.
Might just put the smile back on his face. ;-):D

Absolutely this. Given how much better we looked against QPR, I don't know why we would consider changing the system back.
If it's their sub goalie, hell let's go for 6-7 nil.

He makes Hazard look like a schoolboy footballer.
I really look forward to seeing Di Maria vs De Last!

Who
De Last. He's a nice guy.
He played for Leeds and City, bring on the humiliation!
Now now I'f u watched the Chelsea arse licking commentary on sky sports last night youd know chelsea are a solid defensive unit and Hazard is the fastest player in the world over 5 yards

Ironically De Last is the first person in history with that name.
To be fair his father played for City, yet he is still my United idol!
