Manchester United vs Leicester FA Cup Prediction Match Details
The fourth FA Cup round will begin on Friday night, with Manchester United hosting Leicester City at Old Trafford Stadium. Can the Foxes cause an upset and grab a spot in the fifth round, or will the defending champions take a step further?
Manchester United Preview & Form
Manchester United has endured some horrible form despite the appointment of Ruben Amorim, as the Red Devils have now managed only eight victories in 19 matches across all competitions since Amorim’s arrival during the November international break. They come into this FA Cup tie on the back of a painful 2-0 defeat to Crystal Palace at Old Trafford last weekend, with the result now making it back-to-back home losses in the Premier. The Red Devils qualified for this stage of the competition by beating Arsenal on penalties in the third round after a 1-1 full-time draw. United will feel confident against the Foxes, having already faced Leicester twice at Old Trafford this season, thrashing them 5-2 in the EFL Cup at the end of October and 3-0 in the Premier League.
Leicester Preview & Form
Leicester City will come into this weekend’s FA Cup tie on the back of a 4-0 defeat against Everton last weekend at Goodison Park, with the result putting more pressure on their manager, Ruud van Nistelrooy. The Foxes have also struggled since the appointment of Ruud, with his side recording only two wins in the last 11 matches across all competitions. They made it to this stage of the competition by beating Championship side QPR 6-2 at home in the third round. Under Ruud Van Nistelrooy, the Foxes have lost four of their last five away matches. The Foxes’ defense has conceded two or more goals in each of their away games under Ruud this season.
