- Leicester City entertain Manchester United in the Emirates FA Cup on Sunday (5pm kick-off)
- The quarter-final tie will see two sides positioned third and second in the Premier League meet
- Brendan Rodgers and Youri Tielemans have provided their thoughts in the media this week
- From the United camp, Ole Gunnar Solskjær and Victor Lindelöf have also spoken ahead of the tie
Ahead of that quarter-final clash of two sides separated by just a single point in the Premier League, the two managers, Brendan Rodgers and Ole Gunnar Solskjær, addressed the media on Friday.
Elsewhere, City midfielder and Belgium international Youri Tielemans also caught up with LCFC TV, before Victor Lindelöf looked ahead to the clash following United's European win at AC Milan...
Brendan Rodgers on the Red Devils' busy fixture schedule: "When you're a club the size of Manchester United, you're used to playing many games and you're used to having a squad that can cope with that. We, ourselves, have been away and played in a game in the midweek and still come back and played very well and got a positive result. You have to discount that side of it. It's important that we understand their qualities. They're a fabulous team with players of real quality, but we have to focus on our own qualities. We're coming off the back of a real complete performance last weekend. We were defensively strong, we had great creativity and were clinical, and we have to look to bring that game into this quarter-final."
Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjær provides an assessment of the Foxes: "The belief and the attitude is there. I have to say I’m impressed by the way they recover for each game, because it’s relentless. They are preparing at the highest, highest level. It’s not like we’ve had any gimmes in the draws. Every game has been one where you have to dig deep to win. This is another one, Leicester away. Of course, we drew in the league against them and we know we have to defend well against them. They’ve got [Jamie] Vardy and [Kelechi] Iheanacho, with the form they’re showing, and they’ve got quality in other players, the passes of [Youri] Tielemans, the runs of [Ayoze] Perez. So we know we’ve got a game on our hands."
City's No.8, Youri Tielemans, reflects on their last meeting with the Old Trafford club: "It was a fairly balanced game. We drew 2-2 and I think it was a good game, a good game to watch, with very good football from them and from us. The way we played them earlier, I think it's going to be a bit of the same really. A very organised game. If there is something that we can learn from that game it's to go right until the end because I think we scored in the 85th minute, so we need to do that. I think it's in our heads, obviously you know that it's a knockout game and it's the cup."
Sweden and Man Utd defender Victor Lindelöf speaks to the club's official website after starring in Thursday's 1-o UEFA Europa League victory at AC Milan: "Every time we win, we get more and more confident. It gives us momentum every time we win. It's another big game coming up so we've got to be ready for it on Sunday. It was a tough place to go (the San Siro). We played against a good opponent and we managed to keep a clean sheet and win the game. We're very happy to go through to the next round because it was against a tough opponent."
