Man Utd v Leicester EPL Prediction – Preview
Manchester United F.C.
Manchester United are currently seated 3rd in the Premier League table with 46 points. Their last league match saw them beating Leeds United 2-0 at Elland Road, just a week after they drew each other 2-2 at Old Trafford. Marcus Rashford and Alejandro Garnacho each netted in the last 10 minutes of playing time for the Red Devils. Later on, the Erik ten Hag-led side saw action in the UEFA Champions League round of 16, drawing Barcelona 2-2 in the first leg. Rashford equalised two minutes after Marcos Alonso opened the scoring, while an own goal by Jules Kunde minutes later gave Man Utd the lead, but Raphinha put them back on terms on 76 minutes. Will they still have enough to see off a Leicester side on a winning spell?
Man Utd have scored at least once in each of the last 27 EPL matches against Leicester. Only Manchester City (28 vs Newcastle) have had a longer run against an opposing team in the competition.
After bowing in their final 2 matches in 2021/22 and the first 2 matches of this season, the Red Devils have now lost only 3 of their last 21 EPL games (W14 D4). Since, and including the 1st win of the campaign against Liverpool last August 2022, Man Utd have earned more EPL points than any other team.
Leicester City F.C.
Leicester City are currently seated 13th with 24 points and a game in hand. They picked up their third straight win when they came from behind to defeat Tottenham 4-1 at the King Power Stadium. After Rodrigo Betancur opened the scoring for Spurs on 14 minutes, the Foxes turned things around in the first half as Nampalus Mendy, James Maddison and Kelechi Iheanacho all netted. Harvey Barnes hammered in the last nail in the coffin with 9 minutes to play. Manager Brendan Rodgers was delighted with the win, citing his players’ performances, notably Harry Souttar for his exceptional defence. Can they add one more to their streak when they take on powerhouses Man Utd?
Leicester have steered clear of loss in their last 2 EPL away matches against Man Utd (W1 D1). They last had a longer run with no loss at Old Trafford between August 1972 and April 1977 (W1 D3).
The Foxes have won their last 2 EPL matches in spite of conceding first on both occasions, defeating Aston VIlla 4-2 and Tottenham 4-1. There have been 4 previous times of a team winning 3 EPL matches consecutively despite conceding first: Leeds Utd in November 1997, Man Utd in January 2003, Arsenal in March 2012 (4) and Liverpool in May 2022.

Man Utd v Leicester EPL Prediction – Final Thoughts
This will be a match to look out for, with both Man Utd and Leicester being in-form. The Red Devils may have their hands full with UCL football and the EFL Cup happening in the next two weeks, so Ten Hag could change the lineup a bit. In contrast, the Foxes are fully-focused on the league, presenting their best lineup as they try to move up the table. Nevertheless, the Man Utd’s boss tactics will be a problem for Rodgers and his men, thus we see the Mancunians pulling off the slim win at Old Trafford. Let’s take a look at our predictions.
