Leicester face Manchester United on Super Sunday needing just three points to secure a remarkable Premier League title at Old Trafford. Wes Morgan and Robert Huth will anchor the Foxes defence, as they have for the vast majority of the season, and will encounter the youthful forward threat of Anthony Martial and Marcus Rashford.This clash pits speed and attacking flair against defensive nous, strength and experience. Rashford and Martial will be the fastest attacking combination the Leicester defenders have faced this season and both players will look to their pace to gain an advantage on Sunday. The running stats PL 2015/16 Martial Rashford Morgan Huth Top speed 35.4km/h 34.59km/h 34.76km/h 33.75km/h Sprints per 90 mins 47.7 50.9 31.1 27.6 Distance run per 90 mins 9.26km 10.16km 8.78km 9.06km Martials top sprint speed of 35.4km/h is the second-fastest recorded in the Premier League this season behind Leicesters Jamie Vardy, while Rashford isnt too far behind. And with Morgan clocking in as one of the Premier Leagues fastest defenders, Huth may well find himself targeted by Uniteds forwards. Huth and Morgan are not required to sprint or cover as much ground as most players due to Leicesters deep defensive line. Of the 486 outfield players to play in the Premier League this season, only two average less distance run per 90 minutes than Morgan and nine than Huth, while both players also rank in the bottom 25 for sprints.If United can their lure them up the pitch a little more often, they can create extra holes for their speedy attackers to exploit. Anthony Martial has impressed for Manchester United in recent weeks Of course, Martial and Rashford bring far more than sheer pace. Generally cutting in from the left, Martial has quickly forged a reputation as one of the Premier Leagues keenest dribblers, eager to take on an opponent at every turn. Only two players average more dribbles per 90 minutes and, as he develops, his success rate will continue to rise. Most dribbles PL 2015/16 Dribbles attempted per 90 mins Dribbles attempted Successful dribbles per 90 mins Wilfried Zaha 9.9 274 4.6 Jefferson Montero 7.3 97 3.0 Anthony Martial 7.3 191 2.9 Riyad Mahrez 7.1 221 3.6 Ahead of him, Rashford has already shown a ruthless streak in front of goal, scoring seven times in 14 appearances. Impressively, only one player with seven or more goals (Man Citys Kelechi Iheanacho) boasts a better conversion rate than the 18-year-olds 35 per cent this season. Rashfords senior career All comps 2015/16 Mins played Shots on target Goals Rashford 1,090 13 7 Such clinical finishing, aggressive dribbling and speed is a combination to worry any defence, though Huth and Morgan have been imperious for Leicester, frustrating all varieties of attacks this season.While Vardy, Riyad Mahrez and NGolo Kante regularly grab the headlines, much of Leicesters success has been due to the defensive foundation laid by their centre-backs. PL rank - defensive categories (of 532 players) PL 2015/16 Clearances Blocks Aerials win Interceptions Total defensive actions Huth 4th =4th 6th 31st 5th Morgan 8th 3rd =17th 11th 9th Of the 532 players to play in the Premier League season, Huth and Morgan have been two of the busiest defenders, ranking among the top 10 in most defensive categories.Leicester often deliberately draw opponents onto them before springing counter-attacks, placing paramount importance on their defenders resilience, and both centre-backs have led the way all season. Wes Morgan will be aiming to clinch the Premier League title at Old Trafford Huth and Morgan have also needed to hold their nerve far more than their rivals this season. In total, 14 of Leicesters 22 wins (64 per cent) have been by one-goal margins, putting sustained pressure on their defenders to help secure the win.No title rival comes close in this department, with Tottenham and Man City winning six of 19 (32 per cent) games by a one-goal margin, and Arsenal six of 18 (33 per cent). Where has the title been won? Over the years, where has the Premier League title been decided? High defensive stats can often just showcase a busy defence as opposed to exemplary defenders, but when the numbers are tied in with such regular clean sheets, as they are with Leicester, its a clearer indication of effective play. Most clean sheets by centre-back partnerships PL 2015/16 Team Full games at CB together Clean sheets Huth and Morgan Leicester 34 15 Smalling and Blind Man Utd 22 11 Fonte and Van Dijk Southampton 26 9 Alderweireld and Vertonghen Spurs 25 9 No centre-back combination has recorded more clean sheets than the Leicester pair this season and Manchester Uniteds Chris Smalling (16), is the only defender to tally more individually.Huth and Morgan will look to nullify their opponents speed and may well hold an even deeper line than usual, forcing United to challenge their strengths.By making their opponents compete in the air or in a condensed final third, Leicester can slow Uniteds attack and potentially grab a title-winning goal on the break.

The 79th edition of the Prince of Wales for Canadian-foaled three-year-olds will be televised live on TSN on Tuesday, July 29 starting at 7pm et/4pm pt. Trained by Cathal Lynch, a native of Derry, Northern Ireland, Lynx first broke from the gate at Woodbine under the tutelage of Hall of Fame trainer Roger Attfield. The bay son of Curlin-Silver Bird made six starts for Attfield with his best result coming on the dirt at Gulfstream Park in February when third in a maiden allowance route. Transferred to Lynchs care to continue his sophomore campaign, Lynx stepped forward in a big way when taking a Parx maiden allowance by three lengths over Sassicaia, an expensive Chad Brown trainee, notching an impressive 84 Beyer Speed Figure. Adding to the intrigue of that May 25 maiden win is the fact that Lynch and Lynx combined to stop an incredible run of victories by trainer Chad Brown who currently sports a record of 12 wins from 13 tries at the Pennsylvania track. "There was a short price favourite in there for Chad Brown that hed paid $1.6M for (at the Fasig-Tipton Florida 2013 Selected Two-Year-Olds in Training Sale) and looked like a nice horse," recalled Lynch of the maiden bout. "Lynx sat just off of him and at the three-eighths pole he kicked clear of the rest of the field." Lynx, bred in Ontario by Jim McAlpine and Stonestreet Thoroughbred Holdings LLC, has taken a little time to come good, but the son of 2007 and 2008 Horse of the Year Curlin appears to be an improving sort. "Hes a big, strapping horse," said Lynch. "Hes a decent dirt horse and hes improving. Curlins tend to improve as they get older, hes going the right way so we thought wed take a shot up there against the Canadian-breds." On june 15, in his second start for Lynch, Lynx finished third in the Grade 3 Pegasus Stakes at Monmouth Park won in a quick time by Albano. "That day they went ridiculously fast on the lead and stayed there," said Lynch. "That track can get real quick at Monmouth and he went an even third. Running back in three weeks probably wasnt his cup of tea, but I think the mile and three-sixteenths (at Fort Erie) will be right up his alley." On July 13, Lynx posted a sharp four furlong breeze at Parx in :47.40, best of 26 efforts at the distance on the day suggesting the bay gelding came out of the Pegasus in good order. "He had a rabbit out there and came and got him," said Lynch of the work. "He just got stronger and stronger. Hes a big, growthy type and hes developing into a nice horse." Frank Pennington will travel to Fort Erie for the mount in Tuesdays lucrative Prince of Wales as both jockey and trainer make their Canadian debuts. Lynch is hopeful of a stalking trip for Lynx on the geldings return to his native province. "I dont know that hed go wire to wire," said Lynch. "Hes still a little green for as many starts as hes had. I dont think weve had the best out of him yet. Hell be laying relatively close, hes a stalker type. If somebody wants the lead well gladly give it to them. Its a decennt stretch there.dddddddddddd" Lynch will put Lynx through his final preparations at Parx before shipping north to Canada. "Hell have a blowout here on Friday morning and ship early Saturday to Fort Erie and settle in. Hell jog Monday and then run Tuesday," said Lynch * Joining the Triple Crown trail for Tuesdays Prince of Wales is East Side, a bay son of English Channel-Russian Sweetiepie, bred in Ontario by Richard Lister. Justin Stein, who was aboard for the geldings maiden score on June 13, will retain the mount. Stein became the third different jockey to ride East Side, following Patrick Husbands and Gary Boulangers efforts in maiden allowance sprints, but made the mount count as the bay successfully tried two turns for the first time on June 13. "He was just sitting off the early fractions," recalled Stein. "They went a :23 first quarter and he was right there for the half-mile and kept going. He ran a perfect race." Unfortunately, the victory didnt translate into a Queens Plate try for East Side though trainer Mark Casse did end up saddling the winning filly Lexie Lou. While his stablemate earned the accolades in the Plate, East Side has replied with back-to-back bullet works on Woodbines dirt training track most recently covering five furlongs in 1:01 flat on July 16. Stein, who finished sixth in the 2006 edition of the Prince of Wales with Ascot Bill, has ridden a number of times at the border oval and will be well prepared for the differences from racing at Woodbine. "One thing thats different for us riders is that Fort Erie has a very long stretch," said Stein. "You wont want to make a move in the turn like you do here because the quarter pole is at the head of the lane instead of in the turn. A little patience is needed." East Side, with a record of 1-1-0 from three starts, will make his stakes debut in the Prince of Wales where he will be joined by stablemate Matador who will be guided by Queens Plate winning rider Patrick Husbands. * Additional riding assignments are coming together as the Prince of Wales draws near. Jesse Campbell, who guided Coltimus Prime to a ninth-place run in the Queens Plate, has taken the call on Mike Keoghs improving maiden Ascot Martin. Gerry Olguin will take over from Campbell on recent allowance winner Money Talks. The expected race favourite, Amis Holiday, will be piloted by regular rider Luis Contreras. Davy Moran, who guided Lions Bay to a sixth-place finish in the Plate, retains the mount on the Jamie Attard trainee. At a distance of 1 3/16-miles, the Prince of Wales is the only race in the Canadian Triple Crown Series that is run on a traditional dirt surface. The Queens Plate, a 1 1/4-mile Poly test is the first jewel of the Triple Crown which is completed by the Breeders Stakes, a 1 1/2-mile endurance test over Woodbines E.P. Taylor Turf Course, to be held on Sunday, August 17. The draw for the Prince of Wales will take place on Friday, July 25th in the Fort Erie Race Office at 1pm. The Prince of Wales will be run on Tuesday, July 29th. First race post time is scheduled for 4:15. The Prince of Wales will be televised on TSN from 7pm to 8pm EDT with the Prince of Wales scheduled for 7:40 pm. ' ' '
