Simpson Eyes Old Trafford Scalp

The right-back will hope to make his 13th appearance in a blue shirt since joining the Foxes from Queens Park Rangers in the summer when Nigel Pearson’s men make the trip up to Manchester.
And Simpson, who rose through the ranks at the Red Devils, sees no reason why City can’t reproduce the performance that saw them come from 3-1 down to beat Louis Van Gaal’s men 5-3 on a memorable day at King Power Stadium in mid-September.
Boosted by Saturday’s 2-1 FA Cup Fourth Round victory over Tottenham Hotspur, Simpson said: “For all of us we can have a good week and go to Old Trafford full of confidence.
“I have played there a few times. I have good memories and I've had some good results going back to Old Trafford.
“Hopefully we can put in a good performance and we can show desire. If we can show that again like we did in our last game against them, then you never know.”
Simpson also reflected on United’s return to form under Van Gaal following a slow start to the season. The Dutchman’s outfit have now lost just once in 14 games in all competitions and sit in a favourable position to qualify for Europe next season.
“It's a good sign for them that they are not playing great and still winning games,” added Simpson. “They have a new manager with new ideas and new players, so it will take time.
“He is a top class manager with top class players so I'm sure they are more than satisfied with their position. They will be looking for a final push, like they normally do.”
