Prediction: Manchester United to win 3-0
Best Odds: 12/1
Leicester City and Manchester United will lock horns with each other at the King Power Stadium in the Premier League this coming weekend. The match between Ruud van Nistelrooy’s side and Ruben Amorim’s team will be held at the King Power Stadium and is scheduled to kick off at 7pm UK time on Sunday.
Leicester City
Leicester City did extremely well in the Championship last season and were expected to give a good account of themselves in the Premier League this time around. However, there is a distinct possibility that they will go back down to the second tier of English football.
Ruud van Nistelrooy’s side are second from bottom in the Premier League table at the moment with 17 points from 28 matches. Leicester are six points behind 17th-placed Wolverhampton Wanderers and still have a chance of escaping the dreaded drop to the Championship.
Leicester will head into the Premier League match against Manchester United at the King Power Stadium on the back of a 1-0 defeat to Chelsea away from home in the league. It came after a 2-0 loss to West Ham United at London Stadium in the Premier League which followed a 4-0 hammering at the hands of Brentford at the King Power Stadium in the league.
Team News:
Leicester City are likely to line up in a 3-4-2-1 formation against Manchester United. Mads Hermansen will be in goal for the Foxes. Wout Faes, Conor Coady and Luke Thomas will be the three centre-backs. James Justin, Wilfried Ndidi, Boubakary Soumare and Victor Kristiansen will be the four midfielders. Bilal El Khannouss and Patson Daka will be the two attacking midfielders. Jamie Vardy will lead the line for Leicester.
Manchester United
Manchester United are one of the biggest clubs in the world and arguably the biggest in England, but the Red Devils have been dire for a fair few years now. Even under head coach Ruben Amorim, results and performances have not improved, and the Old Trafford faithful must be hugely disappointed.
The Red Devils are 14th in the Premier League table at the moment with 34 points from 28 matches. Man United are way off the pace in the race for the UEFA Champions League spots and may not even finish in the top half of the standings.
Man United will take on Real Sociedad at Old Trafford in the second leg of their UEFA Europa League Round of 16 on Thursday evening before the match against Leicester City away from home at the King Power Stadium in the Premier League. The Red Devils played out a 1-1 draw with Arsenal at Old Trafford in the league this past weekend, which followed a 1-1 draw with Sociedad away from home at the Reale Arena in the first leg of their UEFA Europa League last-16 tie.
Team News:
Manchester United are likely to line up in a 3-4-2-1 formation against Leicester City. Andre Onana will be in goal for the Red Devils.
