WHAT THE FANS ARE SAYING

<p>While it is very early days, Van Nistelrooy and Amorim have enjoyed a great start at Leicester and United respectively. But the Foxes are close to the relegation zone and the Red Devils are down in ninth after a poor start to the season under Ten Hag. It remains to be seen if both clubs made the right move in appointing these two coaches.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Van Nistelrooy's Leicester, who are up to 15th with the win, host high-flying Brighton on Sunday afternoon, whereas Amorim's United travel to a rejuvenated Arsenal side on Wednesday night.</p>
