1st September 2022 – 21:00, King Power Stadium, Leicester
Leicester City and Manchester United will close the Premier League 5th round action on Thursday evening. Neither team enjoys a successful start to the season, but they will search for valuable points in this game.
Leicester City Preview & Team News
All eyes will be on King Power Stadium when Leicester City and Manchester United go head to head in the Premier League round 5. The Foxes are stuck at the bottom with only one point in their pocket, and they must be low on spirits ahead of Wednesday’s derby. They snatched a point against Brentford in the opening round before losing three times in a row. Leicester comes from a 2-1 defeat against Chelsea last weekend, and another tough opponent is ahead of them. Both Bertrand and Ricardo are major doubts, while influential midfielder James Maddison should be fit for the match.
Manchester United Preview & Team News
A poor away record in the Premier League was hanging over the heads of the Manchester United players, but they dug in against Southampton on Saturday and made the long journey home with three points in the pocket. Backing up the win over Liverpool was important, but momentum is still the key for a team who have a decent set of fixtures to play before the September international break. The Red Devils want to forget about disappointments at the very start of the campaign and continue the winning run. Nevertheless, they must be consistent to get involved in the top-four race. Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag has multiple availability issues to deal with. Victor Lindelöf (Unknown Injury) and Facundo Pellistri (Ankle Injury) miss out here.
Full-Time Winner Odds & Prediction
Neither team has impressed since the start of the campaign, but Manchester United has better momentum. We think they can use it to return home with another important victory.
Goals Market Prediction
These two sides have had defensive issues so far, and we anticipate another entertaining game. Both teams managed to score in their last five head-to-head clashes, and there’s no reason for this tradition to stop.
