Manchester United vs Leicester Preview and Team News
Manchester United Team News
Ruben Amorim’s men will want to keep their hopes of silverware alive this weekend when they host Leicester City. Manchester United are currently the FA Cup holders. They presented their best form in the third round after battling to a penalty shootout success at Arsenal.
Scoring goals, however, continues to be an issue. Manchester United have only seen the net on 21 occasions from an open play xG of 31.15. Amorim’s options in the final third will be further limited after allowing Marcus Rashford to leave for Aston Villa on loan.
Missing players are also a concern, with Lisandro Martinez ruled out for the remainder of the season. In addition, Jonny Evans and Luke Shaw are out due to injuries.
Manchester United predicted lineup vs Leicester City (3-4-3): Bayindir; Yoro, de Ligt, Maguire; Dalot, Ugarte, Fernandes, Mazraoui; Diallo, Mainoo, Garnacho.
Leicester City Team News
Ruud van Nistelrooy returns to Old Trafford on Friday, but his side’s chances are reflected in them being the outsiders in the betting this week. Leicester have scored just 19 goals from an open play xG of 20.85. However, they’ve enjoyed solid returns from corners, scoring three goals from an xG of 3.88.
Issahaku Fatawu and Ricardo Pereira have been ruled out, with the latter expected to return at the end of the month from a thigh injury. Wilfred Ndidi has been progressing well and could also come back to the bench for Leicester.
Leicester City predicted lineup vs Manchester United (4-2-3-1): Hermansen; Justin, Faes, Vestergaard, Kristiansen; Soumare, Winks; Ayew, El Khannous, Daka; Vardy.

The most recent clash between these sides came two months ago when Manchester United won the EFL Cup 5-2.
They’ve already netted eight times against their visitors this season. Their quality should ensure they have the leading chance on Friday despite their ongoing issues in front of the goal.
That is further reflected by Leicester conceding a high xGA of 43.87 this term and allowing a total of 45 goals from open play.
Manchester United vs Leicester Prediction, Betting Tip
- Pick: Under 2.5 Goals
- Odds: 2.63 (22Bet)
A low-scoring clash looks to be a prominent Manchester United vs Leicester prediction this week. The hosts have scored an average of just 1.17 goals this season and have normalized 1.42 per 90 minutes. Nistelrooy’s average goals per game support this angle after netting an average of just 1.17 when they’re away from home.
Alejandro Garnacho could be an interesting scoring angle on Friday. The Argentinean will have less pressure on his shoulders after his short-term future at Old Trafford has been assured. He also boasts an excellent scoring record against the opposition, netting two in three previous appearances against Leicester.
