Manchester United vs Leicester Match Preview – Premier League Prediction & Betting Tips 10/11/2024
Manchester United vs Leicester Premier League Prediction Match Details
Manchester United will welcome Leicester City in the Premier League matchday 11 on Sunday at Old Trafford in an early kickoff. Will Ruud van Nistelrooy end his tenure as an interim coach on high ahead of Ruben Amorim?
Manchester United Preview & Form
Manchester United has endured a difficult start in the new campaign as the Red Devils are winless in their last six Premier League games. Following the termination of their former manager, Erik ten Hag, United seems to be back with some momentum. United made solid form under caretaker Van Nistelrooy, as he led the team to a thumping 5-2 win over Leicester City in the Carabao Cup fourth round and then followed it up with a 1-1 draw against Chelsea at Old Trafford last weekend. Their most recent game ended in a crushing 2-0 win over PAOK in the Europa League on Thursday night.
Van Nistelrooy, in his final game in charge as interim boss, will be hoping to end the United League winless run before Ruben Amorim finally takes charge after the international break. The Red Devils have now recorded three wins and a draw in the last four home games in all competitions this season.
Leicester Preview & Form
Leicester City are coming into this game on the back of a three-match winless run of form since their impressive comeback against Southampton last month. The Foxes suffered a home defeat to Nottingham Forest in the league and then followed it up with another defeat against Manchester United, leading to an exit from the Carabao Cup. They had to salvage a point in their last match at the weekend against newly promoted Ipswich Town thanks to a last-gasp Jordan Ayew goal that saw the game end 1-1. Currently, Simon Cooper’s men sit 15th in the league standings with 10 points from their opening ten games.
Simon Cooper’s side has only managed to pick up five away points from a possible 15 points. Head coach Steve Cooper will be hoping his side can put in a better defensive display, having conceded in each of their last five league away games. During the run, the Foxes have also scored at least a goal in each game.
