Leicester City vs Manchester United Betting Tips: Latest odds, team news, preview and predictions

Leicester City play host to Manchester United in the Premier League on Sunday afternoon.

United battled back from two goals down to earn a dramatic draw against Burnley at Old Trafford on Tuesday night and could have a spring in their step when they travel to take on Claude Puel's charges this weekend.

Leicester, though, have beaten Manchester City and Chelsea within the last six weeks and held Liverpool at Anfield on Wednesday night, so will be looking for another big performance against a team inside the top six.

Latest odds

United had won eight successive matches under Solskjaer's stewardship before being held by the Clarets and are 19/20 (1.95) favourites to make an immediate return to winning ways this weekend.

William Hill make Leicester a 3/1 (4.0) shot to pick up maximum points against Solskjaer's side whilst the odds compilers offer 5/2 (3.50) that both sides settle for a share of the spoils.

Team news

The Foxes have no fresh injury concerns, with Daniel Amartey the only absentee.

Chris Smalling could start after returning from injury to take his place on the bench in midweek. Fellow defender Marcos Rojo remains out but United fans will hope Paul Pogba is fit enough after suffering an injury scare in midweek.

Visitors amongst the goals again?

Manchester United have scored at least two goals in their last five league matches against Leicester and William Hill go 17/20 (1.85) that the visitors score more than one goal here.

The same firm offer 8/11 (1.73) that there are more than two goals in the game. That particular play would have landed in four of the last five fixtures between the teams at this venue.

A tight tussle?

However, there have been fewer than three goals scored in seven of Leicester's last nine home matches in all competitions and it is even money (2.0) that there are no more than two goals scored on this occasion.

Prediction

Anything less than victory here for United would represent another significant setback to United's hopes of securing a top-four finish.

William Hill's 6/4 (2.50) quote for the visitors to lead Leicester by half-time may provide punters with a path to profit. United have led at the break in seven of their nine matches since Solskjaer replaced Jose Mourinho in the Old Trafford dugout.
