Leicester City v Manchester United prediction
A Bruno Fernandes masterclass led Manchester United to a comfortable 4-1 win against Real Sociedad to secure their place in the Europa League quarter finals. The United captain scored a hat-trick with Diogo Dalot getting the fourth, despite the Red Devils going 1-0 down thanks to a Mikel Oyarzabal penalty just ten minutes in.
Manchester United are on a run of six games without losing inside 90 minutes, but still sit 14th in the Premier League with their hopes of a top eight finish fading.
Patrick Dorgo is still suspended for Ruben Amorim’s men so Diogo Dalot is expected to cover on the left hand side with Noussair Mazraoui filling in on the right. Amorim could be boosted by the availability of Mason Mount. The England international hasn’t featured for United since December and could bring an extra bit of attacking creativity that has been missing.
Leicester City look set to drop back into the Championship next season, the Foxes sit 19th six points away from safety and are currently on a run of 12 loses in their last 13 league games, scoring just four goals in the process.
The Foxes have failed to score in their last five games since beating Tottenham 2-1 in January and, despite Mads Hermansen being the first man to stop Cole Palmer from the penalty spot, fell to defeat once more thanks to a Marc Cucurella goal for Chelsea last week.
Manchester United have an impressive record against Leicester recently, with the Red Devils winning all of the previous five meetings between the two sides. With United having already beaten Leicester on three occasions this season, strolling to 5-2 and 3-0 wins at Old Trafford in November and snatching a late winner, thanks to a Harry Maguire header, to make it 2-1 in their FA Cup fifth round tie last month. With confidence high for United and low for Leicester, you can expect that run to continue this Sunday.
Leicester v Manchester United betting tips
Even with Manchester United’s struggles Bruno Fernandes continues to show his class. The Portuguese international has now scored six goals in six games for the Red Devils taking his tally for the season to 15 goals in all competitions. The United captain also already scored three times against the Foxes this season with two in their Carabao Cup encounter and the other in the reverse fixture.
Uruguayan midfielder Manuel Ugarte is expected to return for United after missing the last three games with a slight knock. With the adrenaline running through his veins and wanting to make an instant impact, it won’t be a shock if the midfielder jumps into a challenge and picks up another yellow card to add to his 11 this season.
