Manchester United vs Leicester City Prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds

The Red Devils will lock horns against the Foxes on matchday 11 of the Premier League

Ruud van Nistelrooy will take charge of Manchester United for the final time as interim boss against Leicester City this weekend. United recently defeated the Foxes by 5-2 in the Carabao Cup last week. After a draw against Chelsea and a first European win of the season against PAOK, the Dutchman will be looking to sign off in style. United are 13th in the points table with only 12 points. Despite the struggles and difficulties this season, they are very much capable of turning things around and with a win over the Foxes they will look to build the momentum.

Leicester City are doing relatively well in the Premier League. Unlike the other two clubs who won the promotion from the Championship at the end of the season. Steve Cooper’s side are 15th in the table with 10 points from 10 matches. They are five points above the relegation zone and they will have to get points to go up in the table. The Foxes will look to take revenge for the Carabao Cup defeat. This will be a mouthwatering fixture for sure.

Abdul Fatawu (Leicester City)

The Ghanian is a creative playmaker with very good technical ability and has got good vision to make through passes to the teammates providing dynamism to the team’s last offensive third plays. He has very good pace, agility and coordination. Fatawu always tries to find a vertical option in his game, so he is very capable of pushing his team forward to finishing positions.
