Man United vs Leicester Predictions

This seems like a game Manchester United should win, especially with the boost of a "new manager bounce."

Match info: EFL Cup

Venue: Old Trafford 

Date: Wednesday, 30th October

Time: 8:45 pm Nigerian time

This is a clash between two teams that have had poor starts to their Premier League campaign and will need a lift in the cup to get their season back on track, as Manchester United will be welcoming Leicester City to Old Trafford. Manchester United sacked Erik Ten Hag on Tuesday, with assistant and club legend, Ruud van Nistelrooy expected to take over on an interim basis, and the Red Devils will need a new manager bounce to get past the Foxes.

Head-to-head:

• Manchester United have won 21 of their 34 meetings. 
• Leicester City have only recorded 5 victories. 
• The remaining 8 clashes ended in draws.
• The Red Devils have not conceded in their last 2 encounters, winning both. 
  

Form:

• Manchester United in all competitions: D-D-W-D-L
• Leicester City in all competitions: D-L-W-W-L

Team News:

• Due to their injuries, Manchester United will be without Tyrell Malacia, Leny Yoro, and Daniel Gore.
• Leicester City, on the other hand, have their entire squad available for selection.

Player(s) to watch:

• Alejandro Garnacho is one of the only positives in Man United’s season so far. He is extremely dangerous in one-on-one situations and can cause problems for the Foxes.
• Harry Winks is having a great individual season. He can play multiple positions, which makes him very dangerous.
