Can Manchester United Defeat Leicester City in Premier League ?

Ruben Amorim’s side may be struggling in the domestic league, but their European success has provided a much-needed morale boost.

With only 10 games left in the season, United’s league form has been inconsistent, but their superior quality and recent record against Leicester suggest they are favorites to claim all three points.

Leicester, on the other hand, are in dire straits, sitting 19th in the table and facing the real possibility of relegation. Their form is abysmal, with six consecutive defeats in all competitions and 13 losses in their last 17 matches under Ruud van Nistelrooy. The Foxes have failed to score in their last six home league matches and now face a United side that has beaten them three times already this season, across the league, FA Cup, and League Cup.

Manchester United Domination

United have also been dominant in recent league meetings, winning the last three encounters without conceding a goal. With Bruno Fernandes in fine form—scoring a hat-trick in midweek—and United’s strong record against teams in the relegation zone (four wins and one draw), Amorim’s men should be able to capitalize on Leicester’s frailties.

Leicester’s struggles in front of goal (only 25 goals in 28 games) and their woeful defensive record (62 goals conceded) highlight their weaknesses. Their lack of attacking firepower makes it unlikely they will trouble a United defense that, despite its issues, has performed well against weaker opposition.

Furthermore, United have lost just one of their last eight league visits to the King Power Stadium (four wins, three draws), reinforcing their dominance in this fixture. Given Leicester’s poor form, inability to score at home, and United’s superior squad depth, an away win looks the most probable outcome.

Can Manchester United Defeat Leicester City ? Final Verdict:

Manchester United should have enough quality to claim all three points against a struggling Leicester side. Expect United to extend Leicester’s losing streak and continue their push for European football via the Europa League and a potential late-season league revival. So, we will go for a Manchester United away win, with an odd at least 1.9 !
