Leicester City, Recent FormLeicester City won't feel too deflated by the 2-1 away defeat to Chelsea, given that their opponents sit a full 14 places above them in the league table. They came away from that fixture with a possession stat of 54% and clocked up 17 attempts on goal with 5 on target, in comparison to Chelsea, who managed 7 attempts on goal, 3 of which were on target.
Manager Brendan Rodgers will be shining a spotlight on his team's poor defensive record of late, having conceded 12 goals in their last 6 games, despite picking up a modest amount of points due in no small part to the 11 goals they managed at the other end. They are consistently finding a way through on goal, scoring in each of their last 10 games. It's clear that with only 2 clean sheets from the last 6 matches at home, Rodgers will have some concerns regarding his squad's defensive abilities of late.
Having drawn 2 of their last 6 games they have at least put some points on the table, but they will not be overly happy with only 1 win.
On an individual basis, James Maddison will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 5 goals in Leicester City's last 6 league games.
Manchester United, Recent FormManchester United will be very happy having secured 3 points in their last match with a significant 1-0 away win against Southampton. During that encounter they recorded 52% of the possession and had 11 attempts on goal with 6 on target, while their opponents managed to hit 5 of their 17 shots on goal.
Having lost 12 goals in their past 6 matches, boss Erik ten Hag will surely be casting a critical eye over his defensive line, even though his team managed to pick up some points along the way due to the 4 goals they scored. They will need to tighten up at the back, having failed to keep a clean sheet in all but 1 of their last 6 away games.
They've had a dismal run of form on their travels recently, losing all but 1 of their last 6 away games, a solitary win providing little consolation.
Mason Greenwood will be keen to get his name on the scoresheet against Leicester City in this match, having already scored 2 goals in his last 6 away games for Manchester United.
In the most recent meeting between these teams, they both managed to find the net, but the game finished in a 1-1 draw.
Goals should be on the cards for The Red Devils in this one, given they have found the net, with at least 1 goal, against Leicester in their last 26 meetings together. Man Utd have a good attacking record away to The Foxes in the league, having scored a total of 6 goals in their last 3 visits, which gives an average of 2 goals per game.
Man Utd remains without a victory against Leicester in their previous 4 league encounters.
Çağlar Söyüncü has scored in each of Leicester's last 2 league games against Man Utd.
