We welcome Manchester United to King Power Stadium for a Premier League encounter with the Foxes on Sunday
Our Development Squad meet West Ham United in Premier League 2 this Friday, before the Under-18s visit Arsenal
LCFC Women’s next Barclays Women’s Super League clash comes next Sunday against Brighton & Hove Albion

The three games to look forward to include Friday night’s Premier League 2 fixture in the capital with our Development Squad, currently in red-hot form, heading to Rush Green to face West Ham United (7pm kick-off).

Having overcome Tottenham Hotspur 2-0 last Monday, the team coached by Leon McSweeney have had to wait a while for their next competitive encounter and are now aiming to extend a winning run which currently stands at four league matches, moving City up to eighth in the PL2 standings, just three points adrift of fourth place.

Seeing off Norwich Under-18s in Seagrave last time out.

It’s then the turn of our Under-18s to take to the field and they’ll also be heading south to take on Arsenal at Sobha Realty Training Centre on Saturday morning, in an 11:30am kick-off.

An upturn in results of late has seen Adam Barradell’s side record big away wins at both West Ham United and Brighton & Hove Albion, either side of taking four points from back-to-back games against Norwich City.

That four-game unbeaten streak, scoring 16 goals in the process, has propelled us into ninth position in U18 Premier League South, level on points with the Gunners prior to this weekend’s meeting.

Then, on Sunday, Premier League action returns to King Power Stadium for the visit of Manchester United as Ruud van Nistelrooy goes up against his former side in a 7pm kick-off.

It was defeat at Chelsea for the Foxes last weekend.

The stakes are high with the Foxes requiring points sooner rather than the later in the battle to beat the drop. Currently 19th, on 17 points from 28 matches, the gap to safety stands at six points prior to Wolverhampton Wanderers travelling to Southampton on Saturday.

As for matters on Filbert Way, catch all of the action across LCFC.com, the LCFC App and @LCFC social media channels, with live match coverage, including audio commentary, to come on Sunday, after City’s Manager speaks to the media this Friday morning.

LCFC Women, meanwhile, will next be in action on Sunday 23 March, at home to Brighton & Hove Albion, with tickets now available to purchase for the 3pm kick-off on Filbert Way.

Amandine Miquel’s side have collected 12 points from their 16 games so far this term and are six clear of the relegation zone, though did lose out to top two Chelsea and Manchester United respectively in recent weeks.

THIS WEEK'S AGENDA

West Ham United Under-21s vs. Leicester City Under-21s | Friday 14 March (7pm kick-off)
Arsenal Under-18s vs. Leicester City U18s | Saturday 15 March (11:30am kick-off)
Leicester City vs. Manchester United | Sunday 16 March (7pm kick-off)

All times GMT.
