Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag chose to stick with the same back four against Leicester which had kept a clean sheet against Southampton.
He was repaid with another clean sheet, with United beating Leicester 1-0 to record a third straight win.
United could stick with the same back four to face Arsenal on Sunday at Old Trafford.
Right-back Diogo Dalot has already suggested he is ready to run it back and go again.

Martinez hails ‘machine’ Dalot
Dalot came into the season with question marks over his quality, and in recent games, he has been winning United fans over.
He provided his first assist for United in three years in the win over Southampton, and he is gelling well in the new look back four.
Dalot was hailed by centre-back teammate Lisandro Martinez. The Argentine labelled the right-back as a ‘machine’.
Martinez has added a new spirit to United’s defence, which Dalot is embracing. The pair were seen celebrating blocking a cross and earning a goal kick in the second half.
For a defence which has been far too passive in recent seasons, United’s new look defence is aggressive, and on the front foot.
A big test is upcoming against Arsenal on Sunday, and United will go into the clash full of confidence.
