The Red Devils have defeated the Foxes three times this season in all competitions.

Leicester City are all set to lock horns with Manchester United on matchday 29 of the Premier League 2024-25 season at home. The Foxes are in the relegation zone as they have only been able to win a total of four games in 28 league matches this season. The Red Devils on the other hand are in the 14th spot having won nine games in the same number of matches.

Leicester City will be at home but it is not going to be enough to keep them confident enough as they have already fell prey to Man United three times this season across all competitions. The Foxes are battling to avoid the demotion and for that, they will have to turn the tide around and start winning some matches for themselves.

Manchester United will be confident enough as they are coming in after a dominating win in their UEFA Europa League fixture over Real Sociedad. Their first-half performance was not very good but they came well-prepared in the second half and ran riots over their opponents. The Red Devils will look forward to carrying their momentum going ahead.
