Leicester vs Man United Tips
Tip 1
Whether it’s through Leicester’s inability to score, United’s impotent attack rearing its ugly head again or both teams firing a blank on the goals front, we’re happy to side with BTTS – No at odds against.
The Foxes are without a goal at home for six matches, with Wolves, Man City, Crystal Palace, Fulham, Arsenal and Brentford all rocking up and taking maximum points from the East Midlands without any issues.
Add to that a miserable trip to Old Trafford in November where United eased to victory under current Foxes boss Ruud van Nistelrooy.
It’s been the case in recent head-to-heads for the travellers despite their prolonged fall from grace and Thursday’s win will only galvanise them towards a straightforward win on Sunday.
Tip 2
United’s captain delivered the goods yet again on Thursday to continue his recent uptick in form, scoring a hat-trick against Real Sociedad in their midweek 4-1 win in the UEL.
Those three strikes helped him notch his 15th goal of the season, almost half of which have come when on league duties for the Red Devils.
Better yet for this selection, Fernandes has netted five in his last four and already boasts three goals versus Leicester this season alone.
Leicester Form, Team News & Predicted Line-Up
The Foxes suffered their sixth straight defeat last Sunday when coming away from Stamford Bridge after a 1-0 defeat, which is part of a run that also includes a 2-1 FA Cup exit away to Manchester United.
Ruud van Nistelrooy will be without Harry Souttar, Issahaku Fatawu, Kasey McAteer and James Justin for the visit of his former employers at the King Power Stadium.
Leicester Predicted XI: Hermansen; Faes, Coady, Thomas; Pereira, Ndidi, Soumare, Kristiansen; Daka, El Khannouss; Vardy.
Man United Form, Team News & Predicted Line-Up
Ruben Amorim answered his critics on Thursday when blowing Real Sociedad away 4-1 at Old Trafford in the Europa League to progress to the competition’s quarter-final stage.
Man U still have the same injury problems heading into this one, with Luke Shaw, Mason Mount, Lisandro Martinez, Amad Diallo, Jonny Evans and Kobbie Mainoo all missing for the visitors.
Man United Predicted XI: Onana; Mazraoui, de Ligt, Lindelof; Dalot, Casemiro, Fernandes, Dorgu; Garnacho, Zirkzee; Hojlund.
