Man United vs Leicester Predictions

Manchester United are backed to win but their poor form will give Leicester confidence. I am backing BTTS and over 2.5 goals.

Head to Head

Man United have a 72-36 advantage against Leicester in 139 meetings with 31 draws. There have been 10 total goals in the last two meetings.

Man United Form

Man United progressed in the FA Cup on penalties following a 1-1 draw at Arsenal. United have won five of their following seven fixtures in all competitions.

The Red Devils put together a three-match winning run after a 3-1 home defeat to Brighton. They beat Rangers 2-1 at home and Fulham 1-0 and FCSB 2-0 away.

Ruben Amorim’s side couldn’t keep the good form rolling and lost 2-0 at home against Crystal Palace. United had 17 shots, allowed 2.45 XG and conceded twice in the second half without reply.

Man United Injuries

Defensive trio Lisandro Martinez, Jonny Evans and Luke Shaw are sidelined due to injury.

Midfielder Mason Mount is also injured and unavailable.

Leicester Form

Ruud van Nistelrooy’s Leicester have won just two of their last 13 matches in all competitions. One of those wins came in the FA Cup after a 6-2 triumph against QPR.

Leicester followed that rare win with back-to-back 2-0 league defeats against Crystal Palace and Fulham. The Midlands side then ended a run of seven straight league losses with a 2-1 victory at Tottenham.

The Foxes suffered another defeat on Saturday and were thrashed 4-0 at Everton. Leicester allowed 3.11 XG, were 3-0 down after 46 minutes and shipped a fourth goal in the final minute.

Leicester Injuries

Midfielder Wilfred Ndidi is doubtful.

Defender Ricardo Pereira and winger Abdul Fatawu are set to miss out with injuries.

Verdict

Man Utd v Leicester

United have enough quality to defeat a Leicester side that is often outplayed by Premier League opponents. A Red Devils win with over 2.5 goals is the best bet at Old Trafford.
