Breaking team news from Old Trafford for this evening's 20:00 BST kick off and that is that Paul Pogba returns to the squad after injury. He is on the bench. There's no place at all for Wayne Rooney, however.

Meanwhile, Zlatan Ibrahimovic returns from suspension to take his place in the side.

After today's story about Jamie Vardy almost giving up football to become a party rep in Ibiza, we are asking about your near misses - good or bad.

Matthew Watson: "Forgot to have my laptop on charge during an FA Cup final on @FootballManager, external once... career nearly ruined."

Leicester are unchanged from the team which beat Stoke 2-0 on Saturday. Captain Wes Morgan is still out with a back injury, but winger Marc Albrighton returns to the bench following an illness.

Sunderland make three changes to the side which lost 1-0 to Watford on Saturday. Midfielder Lee Cattermole makes his first appearance since September following a hip injury. 

He takes the armband because John O'Shea misses the game following the death of his father yesterday.

Seb Larsson and Didier Ndong also come into midfield, with Darron Gibson and Adnan Januzaj missing out.

It's been a turbulent 24 hours for David Moyes. 

After video footage emerged of him telling a female reporter she "might get a slap", pressure was put upon Sunderland to take action.

That action was to call Moyes' comments "wholly inappropriate" but the Scot will remain in the Black Cats dugout.

Now, more than ever, the pressure is on him to somehow lead the Black Cats to Premier League safety.

They are bottom of the table, eight points from safety,

Just over a month ago these clubs were both in the relegation zone with only two league places separating them.

It seems incredible, but if Craig Shakespeare's side win this game - and other results go their way - Leicester could be 11 places ahead of Sunderland by Wednesday night.

Shakespeare has been  like a defibrillator for Leicester. The Foxes' heartbeat is pumping again with five wins in a row in all competitions.

Sunderland - without as much as a goal in their last five games - can only dream of such a jolt, their pulse still stubbornly flatlining at the foot of the table.

Jermain Defoe's quick feet have helped him to score 14 goals in the Premier League at the age of 34, but he's keen to put them to other use as well.

The Sunderland striker wants to follow in the footsteps of former footballer Robbie Savage by appearing on Strictly Come Dancing.

“I competed in street dance competitions with my mate," Defoe told FourFourTwo. “We ended up winning and I’ve still got the medals at my mum’s.

“I’d never go into the jungle and do I’m a Celebrity but I’d love to do Strictly Come Dancing.”

The team news is in and some good news for Sunderland fans, Jermain Defoe has overcome a knock to take his place in the side. 

Full team news for all the games tonight coming up.

How's this for football story of the day? Just four years ago, Leicester striker Jamie Vardy almost quit football, to become an Ibiza party rep!

Yep, if not for Craig Shakespeare, the Ballon d'Or nominee could have been spinning decks and leading a load of drunk teenagers around bars instead of earning £100,000 a week.

“Thankfully he didn't go to Ibiza," said Shakespeare., external "I think he has made the right decision.”

Most United fans agree Jose Mourinho has been a significant upgrade on Louis van Gaal but the stats suggest they're being seriously short changed at Old Trafford.

Saturday's stalemate with West Brom was their eighth home draw in the Premier League.

The return of top scorer Zlatan Ibrahimovic from suspension is a welcome boost but other star names need to contribute more regularly if United are to successfully hunt down the top four.

I think they're catching Everton at a good time. Recent injuries have highlighted the visitors' lack of depth, meaning too many youngsters are having to play pivotal roles.

Keeping Romelu Lukaku quiet normally blunts the Blues and Mourinho  should know how to do, external  that better than most.

All right. I accept, it's not wholly fair to compare the seasons just by looking at the table - context is key, but Manchester United fans could perhaps be forgiven for expecting a bit better this season. 

Jose Mourinho's side are on a 19-game unbeaten run in the Premier League, but a lot of that has been made up of draws.

With six games in a touch over three weeks, starting with tonight's clash with Everton, April is undoubtedly a key month in determining whether Mourinho's first season at Manchester United can be deemed a successful one.

Take a look at this table:

And now have a gander at this one:

Spot anything different? Arsenal are faring better in the second one, while Liverpool are eight points better off in the first one.

But it's not the differences I am looking at. Manchester United in both tables have exactly 53 points after 28 games. 

The first table, where they are fifth, is this season - their first under Jose Mourinho. The second table, where they are fourth, is their first season under Louis van Gaal.

The more things change, the more they stay the same?
