Leicester City: Schmeichel, Simpson, Morgan (c), Magniniire, Fuchs, Mahrez, Ndidi, James, Albrighton, Okazaki and Vardy.
Danny Drinkwater (thigh) and Papy Mendy (ankle) have resumed full training while Kelechi Iheanacho has also been able to train, although Leicester boss Craig Shakespeare will err on the side of caution with the striker after his toe injury.
Martial has been pushing for a start in recent weeks after delivering impressive, goalscoring cameos against the Hammers and the Swans, and Mourinho has seen fit to hand the Frenchman a chance to claim a regular starting spot against the former Premier League champions.
Leicester, though, have also given their fans plenty of encouragement with a confident 2-0 win over promoted Brighton following on from their 4-3 defeat at Arsenal in the league's opening game.
Both teams have the ability to score goals, and there should be plenty of attacking action on display.
Manchester United finished in sixth place in the Premier League table last season despite the appointment of Jose Mourinho as Louis van Gaal's replacement. Honestly, I don't think so because there are many teams that I don't think all of them are going to fail. We spent our time together, working together, learning [about] each other.
With the arrivals of Nemanja Matic and Lukaku, Manchester United seem to have much better balance and potency, and coupled with a strong defence that is the hallmark of all Mourinho sides, this team do look the business this season.
Mourinho on Leicester City: "I think they are the same team as they were two seasons ago". The Red Devils went goal insane in South Wales last week scoring three quick fire goals as they put the sword to Paul Clement's outfit.
However, just how well-oiled a machine Manchester United are will be known when they play Leicester, considering West Ham and Swansea are not exactly the scariest of opposition.
This is the type of game that United needs to win in order to continue staying at the top of the Premier League.
