Our Manchester United vs Leicester City prediction—an important win for the Visitor!
As Ruben Amorim officially takes over as manager on Monday, the Dutchman is keeping the Red Devils’ hot seat warm. In the Europa League on Thursday night, United defeated PAOK 2-0, extending their winning streak under van Nistelrooy’s direction to three games. This match brought up my Bet Builder. The Red Devils will return to Old Trafford on Sunday in hopes of winning the Premier League for the fourth time this season when Leicester returns to town.
Although many predicted that the Foxes would have a difficult season, they have so far had a quietly remarkable return to the top division. With ten points from their first ten games, Steve Cooper’s team most recently salvaged a last-minute 1-1 draw away against Ipswich.
A 2-1 win for Man United vs Leicester City seems like a fair prediction. Watch & Bet Football Live =>

Manchester United vs Leicester City match preview
In addition to giving Van Nistelrooy three games without a loss as interim manager, Diallo’s double helped Man United win their first Europa League game of the season on their fourth try. However, the Red Devils’ focus now shifts back to Premier League affairs. In last weekend’s 1-1 draw with Chelsea, a spectacular volley from Moises Caicedo forced Man United to settle for just one point, leaving the struggling team in the bottom half of the Premier League standing in 13th place, though at this point, they are mathematically closer to the top four than the relegation zone.
Amorim won’t be able to change Manchester United’s fortunes overnight, as the Red Devils have only managed nine top-flight goals this season, which is their lowest total since 1973–74. They have also only managed one victory in six Premier League games.
However, Ayew’s spectacular second-time luck against Kieran McKenna’s winless team ended their two-game losing streak in all tournaments. He linked up with Jamie Vardy before coolly slotting home into the bottom corner to salvage a piece of the spoils for Steve Cooper’s team. Leicester has solidified itself in a somewhat comfortable 15th place in the table, five points clear of the relegation zone and only two points worse off than Sunday’s hosts Man United, while fellow recently promoted teams Ipswich and Southampton sit below the dreaded dotted line.
Leicester has scored and given up in all five of their away Premier League games in the 2024–25 season, so a surprise victory at Old Trafford would put the Foxes ahead of the Red Devils in the standings. Goals should be assured on both ends.
Manchester United vs Leicester City team news
Manchester United:
- After scoring twice in Thursday’s victory over PAOK, Ivorian winger Amad Diallo made a compelling case for a starting position over the weekend, but a minor injury could keep him on the bench.
- Mason Mount should be in contention for this match because the Red Devils welcomed him back in the middle of the week.
- However, Harry Maguire and Kobbie Mainoo of England are still out due to their respective concerns.
- Leny Yoro, Tyrell Malacia, Antony, and Luke Shaw are also expected to miss out.
Leicester City:
- However, Leicester emerged from their draw with Ipswich unscathed, and there is a remote possibility that Patson Daka, a chronic ankle injury sufferer, will return for Sunday’s match.
- Jakub Stolarczyk (ankle) may be the only player missing this weekend’s visit because Hamza Choudhury is in a similar situation and the Foxes have decided against surgically treating the midfielder’s shoulder issue.
- It is unclear if Ayew’s last-minute comeback at Portman Road will earn him a spot back in the starting lineup because Abdul Fatawu and Stephy Mavididi are fierce rivals,
- Vardy will undoubtedly start up front as he looks to improve on his six goals from 18 prior games against Manchester United.
Manchester United vs Leicester City lineups
Leny Yoro (foot), Tyrell Malacia (knee), Kobbie Mainoo (thigh), Harry Maguire (calf), and Luke Shaw (calf) join Diallo in the medical bay. The latter is back in training but will have enough time to recover to full fitness. Before Amorim uses his 3-4-3 formation, Marcus Rashford should take Diallo’s knock, and Lisandro Martinez and Matthijs de Ligt should move back to the center of the backline at the expense of Jonny Evans and Victor Lindelof.
The visitors’ backup goalie, Jakub Stolarczyk, is out because of an ankle injury. In the meantime, Patson Daka and Hamza Choudhury have resumed their training, but they are still dubious for the trip to the North West.
Here are the predicted Manchester United vs Leicester City lineups today:
Man United starting XI: |
Onana, Casemiro, Ugarte, Rashford, Fernandes, Garnacho, Hojlund, Dalot, De Ligt, Martinez, Mazraoui |
Leicester City starting XI: |
Hermansen; Faes, Okoli, Kristiansen; Justin; Winks; Soumare; Ayew; Buonanotte; Vardy |

Manchester United last 5 matches results and form: WDWLD
The Red Devils enter the game with just 12 points from the first 10 rounds, their lowest point total since their worst Premer League start in 1986–87. Amorim faces a formidable task as they are currently in 13th place in the table and have the third-worst scoring record in the division with just nine goals.
But before the international break in November, a three-point victory over newcomers Leicester would be the biggest boost to confidence. Manchester United can take heart from their two previous competitive meetings at Old Trafford, where they defeated this opponent by a three-goal margin.

Leicester City last 5 matches results and form: WWLDD
Following consecutive league victories before the international break in October, Leicester had lost both of their recent top-flight games (D1, L1) and dropped to 15th place. Steve Cooper’s team is a serious danger, especially in the front three, even if they have only won once in their five Premier League away games this season (D2, L2).
They have scored nine goals away from home this season out of 14 league goals. Until a 1-1 draw at Ipswich Town last time out, the Foxes had lost at least twice in their opening four away league games and had yet to maintain a clean sheet on the road.
