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

The Red Devils continue their FA Cup title defence against the Foxes.

Manchester United are set to host Leicester City in a 4th Round fixture of the FA Cup 2024-25. Man United defeated in-from Arsenal to get to the 4th round of the competition. It was an evenly matched contest where the Red Devils stood tall in the end on the penalties. Leicester City took down Queens Park Rangers in the 3rd round.

Ruben Amorim’s men were met with a roadblock in their last outing. They lost to Crystal Palace by a scoreline of 0-2 in their last match. It will be interesting to see how Man Utd will perform in their upcoming FA Cup clash against Leicester City. The Red Devils are not in their best form but will be looking to continue their title defence against the Foxes.

Leicester City will be under pressure as they will be facing Man United at home. Moreover, they have shown some lacklustre performances this season. They are in the relegation zone in the Premier League standings. The Foxes are coming in after facing a heavy 0-4 defeat in their last league encounter which was against Everton.
