Manchester United vs Leicester City Preview and Team News
Manchester United Team News
Manchester United’s worries continue, as they lost to Crystal Palace (0-2) in the last Premier League fixture. The hosts looked dismal throughout the game and Jean-Philippe Mateta’s brace ensured the win for Palace.
This was Manchester’s second consecutive home loss in the Premier League, moving them to 13th place in the standings. The chances of qualifying for the European competitions look slim so they will probably focus on the Europa League and domestic tournaments.

Lisandro Martinez was stretchered off against Crystal Palace and will miss this game. Mason Mount, Luke Shaw and Jonny Evans are also sidelined. Most probably, Ruben Amorim will use the available key players in the lineup.
Manchester United predicted lineup vs Leicester City (3-4-3): Bayindir; Yoro, de Ligt, Maguire; Mazraoui, Dalot, Casemiro, Eriksen; Diallo, Zirkzee, Garnacho.
Leicester City Team News
Relegation threats are looming for Leicester, who were thrashed 4-0 against Everton in the previous round. Ruud van Nistelrooy’s team currently sits 18th with 17 points, having three losses in the past four matches.
Undoubtedly, Leicester’s main motivation this season would be to keep their place in the Premier League and make a deep run in the FA Cup. While they are facing the struggling Manchester United, the chances of success are low given their current form.

The Dutch head coach will likely use the regular starting lineup against Manchester United. As for injuries, Isaahaku Fatawu, Wilfred Ndidi, Nathaniel Opoku, Ricardo Pereira and Harry Souttar are sidelined.
Leicester City predicted lineup vs Manchester United (4-2-3-1): Stolarczyk; Justin, Faes, Coady, Kristiansen; Soumare, Winks; Daka, Mavididi, Bounanotte; Vardy.
Manchester United vs Leicester City Prediction
- Pick: Manchester (-1.5) Handicap
- Odds: -108 (20Bet)
- Score prediction: Manchester United 3-1 Leicester City
In general, Leicester are a convenient opponent for Man United. If we take a look at the H2H stats, they have won three matches consecutively with three-goal margins and are considered favourites to advance to the round of 16.
After a poor display against Crystal Palace, Ruben Amorim will be under pressure and the convincing victory will be a major boost for his team. That’s why we think that the host will dominate during the match.
Leicester, on the other hand, look weak on all fronts and we don’t anticipate serious resilience from them. Our first pick in this matchup would be Manchester to win with (-1.5) handicap.
Manchester United vs Leicester City Prediction, Betting Tip
- Pick: Over 3.5 Goals
- Odds: +116 (20Bet)
Neither side can boast of having a reliable defence and they have been conceding regularly. Leicester have last kept a clean sheet in a Premier League match against Bournemouth on October 5, 2024.
While Manchester United had such games, they allowed too many mistakes near their goal. Leicester have fast attackers and this will surely give them opportunities in the penalty area.
As for the results in head-to-head matches, the previous three games ended with three goals or more scored. We expect the same to happen in this clash and a high-scoring affair is likely. Our second pick for the clash is over 3.5 goals.
