Kelechi Iheanacho is hoping he can strike against Leeds United again having been impressed by Marcelo Bielsa's side this term.

Bielsa's outfit have made a strong start to life in the top flight following promotion last season having won three out of their opening six outings.

The Foxes, though, are themselves in good form with four wins in the league so far under head coach Brendan Rodgers.

United and City will come to blows for the first time since a League Cup tie pitted the two together a little over three years ago, with Iheanacho holding fond memories of the meeting.

"It will be a great opportunity to play them once again," he said ahead of kick-off.

"I've played against them before. It was my first Leicester City goal, so hopefully if I get a chance then I will be able to do the same, it will be a great occasion.

"They are back stronger now and they've been doing well and having a good run in the Premier League. I think it will be a good test for us and hopefully we can get the points that we need.

"I've been watching a little bit of their matches and they've been brilliant since coming into the Premier League.

"They've been on a good run and they are quite strong as well so I think we just need to keep doing what we are doing.

"We've been doing well ourselves and we've had a good away record so we just need to keep that and the good run and keep a clean sheet."
