Manchester United
The Red Devils drew 1-1 at home against Chelsea in their last outing. This was their first match without Erik ten Hag. Prior to that, they suffered a 2-1 away defeat to West Ham. Overall, Manchester United has only one win in their last six league matches (3 draws and 2 losses), dropping them to 13th place in the standings. It's also worth noting that Manchester United has scored only 9 goals, the third-lowest tally in the current Premier League.
Defenders Tyrell Malacia, Leny Yoro, and Luke Shaw, midfielders Christian Eriksen, Mason Mount, and Kobbie Mainoo, as well as forward Antony Matheus, will miss the game due to injuries.
- In the last 11 Premier League games for Manchester United, more than three goals have not been scored.
- In 8 of their last 10 league matches, the club has failed to score more than once.
- The team hasn't scored in the first half in their last six Premier League matches.
Leicester
Steve Cooper's side has not won in their last two matches. They first lost 3-1 at home to Nottingham Forest, then drew 1-1 away to Ipswich. The team is currently 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 will miss the game due to injuries.
- In their last 26 Premier League matches, 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 club's last 8 league matches.
Manchester United vs Leicester: Match Prediction
The change in management is sure to bring a positive atmosphere to the home side for the upcoming match. Changes are anticipated in Manchester following Ruben Amorim's arrival, but they are unlikely to occur in this game. The Red Devils will do everything possible to secure a win. Undoubtedly, the team will also strive to score as many goals as possible. It's worth noting that the club has scored in 12 of their last 15 home Premier League games.
Nevertheless, I expect the visitors to score as well, given Manchester United's ongoing issues with injured defenders. Leicester has scored at least one goal in their last 11 Premier League matches. Additionally, in the last nine head-to-head encounters in the league, Manchester United has never left the pitch without scoring, while Leicester has found the net in six of these meetings.
My prediction – Both teams to score – yes with odds of
