Manchester United
The Red Devils drew 1-1 at home against Chelsea in the previous round. It was their first match without Erik ten Hag. Prior to that, the team lost 2-1 away to West Ham. Overall, Manchester United has only one win in their last six league matches (3 draws and 2 losses), which has seen them drop to 13th in the league standings. Additionally, the Red Devils have scored just 9 goals, the third-lowest tally in the current Premier League season.
Defenders Tyrell Malacia, Leny Yoro, and Luke Shaw, midfielders Christian Eriksen, Mason Mount, and Kobbie Mainoo, as well as forward Antony Matheus, are sidelined due to injuries.
- In the last 11 Premier League games for Manchester United, more than three goals have not been scored.
- In 8 of the last 10 league matches, the team has not scored more than once.
- The team has not scored in the first half in their last six Premier League matches.
Leicester
Steve Cooper's side has not won in the last two rounds. First, they lost 3-1 at home to Nottingham Forest, then drew 1-1 away to Ipswich. The team is 15th in the table, trailing Manchester United by two points. Notably, Leicester has scored in every match of the current Premier League season.
Forward Patson Daka and midfielder Hamza Choudhury are out due to injuries.
- In the last 26 Premier League encounters, Leicester has only secured 4 wins (8 draws and 14 losses).
- Both teams have scored in 10 of Leicester's last 11 Premier League games.
- At least two goals have been scored in the first half in 6 of the team's last 8 league matches.
Manchester United vs Leicester: match prediction
The change in management is sure to bring a positive atmosphere to the hosts for the upcoming match. In Manchester, expectations are high following the arrival of Ruben Amorim, but it is unlikely these changes will manifest in this game. The Red Devils will make every effort to win and will undoubtedly aim to score as many goals as possible. It's worth noting that the team has scored in 12 of their last 15 home games in the Premier League.
Nevertheless, I expect the visitors to score as well, given Manchester United's ongoing issues with injured defenders. Leicester has scored at least once in their last 11 Premier League matches. Additionally, in the last nine head-to-head encounters in the league, the Red Devils have not left the field without scoring, while Leicester has found the net in six of these meetings.
My prediction – Both teams to score – yes with odds of
