Man United versus Leicester - Examination, Prognostications, and Top Wagers

On Sunday, Man Utd will face off against Leicester in the Premier League. The Red Devils have been on a roll under interim manager Ruud Van Nistelrooy, notching up two inspiring cup wins in the last fortnight. One of those incredible victories came against Leicester at Old Trafford, a 5-2 drubbing that left Foxes fans reeling.

Man Utd's Recent Form

Man Utd's form was dismal under Erik Ten Hag, with just one win in eight matches. The Red Devils lost to both Liverpool and Tottenham at home, conceding a whopping 4.59 xG in the latter match. After a 2-1 loss at West Ham, Ten Hag was given the boot.

Since Van Nistelrooy took charge, United have won two cups and drew against Chelsea. In the Europa League, they beat PAOK 2-0, taking a total of 16 shots in that win.

Man Utd Team News

Unfortunately, Kobbie Mainoo, Harry Maguire, Leny Yoro, and Luke Shaw are out due to injuries. However, Antony and Mason Mount are back from minor injuries, and Marcus Rashford is expected to make a return. Van Nistelrooy may continue with Lisandro Martinez at left-back, while either Victor Lindelof or Jonny Evans will likely start in central defense. Manuel Ugarte and Casemiro are expected to be preferred over Christian Eriksen in midfield.

Man Utd's Motivation

United have newfound energy since Ten Hag's departure and treat this match as a must-win game. Expect an aggressive, attacking approach from the Red Devils, who will push for goals even if they take the lead.

Leicester's Recent Form

Despite a disappointing season, Leicester have won just three of their thirteen matches across all competitions. They started the season on a six-game losing streak in the league, with three losses and three draws. Leicester managed to break their winless run with a 1-0 home win over Bournemouth and a 3-2 comeback victory at Southampton, but a 3-1 home loss against Nottingham Forest followed, followed by a 5-2 thrashing at Man Utd. Most of their first-choice players were rested during that game. In their last game, Leicester registered 20 shots and scored in the 94th minute to secure a 1-1 draw at Ipswich.

Leicester Team News

Jakub Stolarczyk is out for the rest of the month, but Patson Daka and Hamza Choudhury are back in training and could feature from the bench. James Justin and Caleb Okoli may remain on the bench, along with big-money signing Oliver Skipp. Jordan Ayew is pushing for a starting spot on one of the flanks after scoring the late equalizer against Ipswich.

Leicester's Motivation

A draw at Old Trafford would be a significant success for Leicester. Steve Cooper's side is unlikely to play an open game, and a narrow defeat might be acceptable, as they aim to avoid another heavy loss like the one they suffered against United 11 days ago.
