Man United vs Leicester Preview

Man United will be looking to progress into the next round of the FA Cup when they host Leicester at Old Trafford.

Form

Man United come into this fixture on the back of an inconsistent run of form and following an embarrassing 2-0 defeat at home to Crystal Palace have now won just four of their last ten games in all competitions. 

Ruben Amorim's side have been defensively porous, having conceded in eight of their last ten games in all competitions while both teams have found the back of the net in five of those fixtures. 

Man United have a mixed run of results at home with five wins and five defeats in their last ten home games across all competitions. 

Leicester City have endured a poor season and are currently two points below relegation places. 

They head into this fixture on a very poor run of form with just two wins in their last ten games in all competitions, losing eight. 

They have struggled both in attack and defence as they have conceded in 19 straight games in all competitions with seven of their last ten games seeing Over 2.5 goals. 

Leicester have been lightweight in defence, conceding 2+ goals in ten of their last eleven games in all competitions including a 6-2 win over QPR in their last FA Cup tie. 

Verdict

Both teams are struggling in defence but the home team boasts a slightly better record than Leicester with Man United winning the last three head to head games between both teams while scoring 2+ goals. I'll be backing Man United Over 1.5 Team Goals.
