Man United vs Leicester Tips
Tip 1
No player has seen more yellows for either team than Soumare’s eight so far – the second-highest total of any individual in the English top flight during this campaign.
This tally has been amassed in just 17 league appearances, making odds of 11/4 still good value based on the statistics alone.
He gave away three fouls in the defeat to Everton but went unpunished, however, referee Peter Bankes is unlikely to adopt the same mentality for similar transgressions given his healthy 4.90 yellows per game average in the Premier League this season.
Tip 2
Dalot has received four bookings this term, and the Portuguese full-back was fortunate not to be sitting on five having gone unscathed after committing three fouls in just 57 minutes in the 3-0 win over Leicester back in November.
He will face Jordan Ayew and James Justin who’ve won a combined 67 fouls and are the top two most fouled players for Man United or Leicester this season.
Ayew is one of the most astute players in this regard, with only eight players winning more free-kicks than him despite Leicester’s struggles. He was also the most fouled player during the 2022/23 campaign and the second-most last campaign.
Man United Form, Team News & Predicted Line-Up
Ruben Amorim’s side suffered another setback after qualifying automatically for the Europa League knockouts, losing 2-0 at home to Crystal Palace in one of Sunday’s 2pm matches.
The Red Devils are now without Lisandro Martinez, who suffered a major knee injury in last weekend’s loss and joins Luke Shaw, Jonny Evans and Mason Mount on the sidelines.
Man United Predicted XI: Onana; Yoro, de Ligt, Maguire; Mazraoui, Mainoo, Eriksen; Dalot; Diallo, Fernandes; Hojlund.
Leicester Form, Team News & Predicted Line-Up
The Foxes remain inside the PL’s bottom three and in serious threat of relegation after Everton handed Ruud van Nistelrooy’s side a 4-0 defeat at Goodison Park last Saturday.
Wilfried Ndidi, Ricardo Pereira and Issahaku Fatawu remain absent for the visitors, who could make a host of changes based on the importance of this competition against survival and due to their last performance.
Leicester Predicted XI: Hermansen; Justin, Faes, Vestergaard, Kristiansen; Winks, Soumare, Mavididi; Ayew, El Khannouss; Vardy.
