Man United vs Leicester Prediction
- Man United come into this FA Cup fourth-round clash with a need to stabilize their form after a mixed bag of results.
- Their recent win against Arsenal on penalties in the previous round has perhaps reignited some confidence, but their league form remains a concern with just two wins in their last eight games.
- Leicester City, under Ruud van Nistelrooy, have had a turbulent start, with just one win in their last six Premier League matches, which include heavy defeats against teams like Everton and Fulham.
- However, their 6-2 thrashing of QPR in the FA Cup third round was a significant morale booster.
- Man United are unbeaten against Leicester in their last five meetings, winning five.
- Man United have home advantage.

- Lisandro Martinez’s injury is a significant blow, with no confirmed return date.
- However, Victor Lindelof is back, adding depth.
- Luke Shaw has been training but is unlikely to play, Jonny Evans, and Mason Mount are both injured which leaves some gaps, but the team has options in the form of new signings like Ayden Heaven and possibly Patrick Dorgu for defensive roles.
- Leicester City will miss Issahaku Fatawu and Ricardo Pereira, with Ndidi possibly returning, which could be a boost in midfield.

Man United vs Leicester Bet Builder Tips
Our Bet Builder for Man United vs Leicester features Over 2.5 Goals, Jamie Vardy Over 0.5 Shots on Target and Bruno Fernandes Anytime Scorer.
At the time of publishing this is a best price of 5/1 with bet365.
There have been over 2.5 goals in four of the last six meetings between these two sides including twice this season.
One of those games ended with seven goals being scored, five of which came from Man United.
Seven of the last 10 Leicester games have ended in over 2.5 goals and while only four of United's last 10 have over 2.5, there has been an average of 2.9 goals a game over that time, so United are certainly prone to a high scoring game.
Jamie Vardy has had a shot on target in nine of his last 11 games and averages 1.8 shots a game.
Bruno Fernandes scored in both mettings with Leicester this season and scored twice in the League Cup game. He has three goals in his last eight games in all competitions and is Man United's second top scorer this season.
Against Leicester's defence which ranks second worst in the Premier League, he should get chances.
