Manchester United and Leicester City will lock horns with each other in the Premier League this coming weekend. The match between the Red Devils and the Foxes will be held at Old Trafford and is scheduled to kick off at 2pm UK time on Sunday.

Manchester United
Manchester United are one of the biggest clubs in the world, but things have not been great in recent years. The Red Devils are unlikely to challenge for the UEFA Champions League places in the Premier League table this season, even though Ruben Amorim is coming as the manager following the departure of Erik ten Hag.

United are 13th in the Premier League table at the moment. The Red Devils have picked up just 12 points from 10 games so far and are seven points above the bottom three. United are six points behind fourth-placed Chelsea.

United will take on PAOK at Old Trafford in the League Stage of the UEFA Europa League on Thursday evening before facing Leicester City in front of their fans in the Premier League on Sunday. The Red Devils played out a 1-1 draw with Chelsea at Old Trafford in the league this past weekend which followed a 5-2 hammering of Leicester City at home in the last 16 of the League Cup.

Team News:
Manchester United are likely to line up in a 4-2-3-1 formation against Leicester City, André Onana will be in goal. Diogo Dalot, Matthijs de Ligt, Lisandro Martinez and Noussair Mazraoui will be the four defenders. Casemiro and Manuel Ugarte will be the two holding midfielders. Alejandro Garnacho, Bruno Fernandes and Marcus Rashford will be deployed in attacking midfield. Rasmus Hojlund will lead the line for the Red Devils.

Leicester City
Leicester City are doing relatively well in the Premier League. Unlike the other two clubs who won promotion from the Championship at the end of last season, Ipswich Town and Southampton, Leicester are not in the bottom three at the moment.

Steve Cooper’s side are currently 15th in the Premier League table with 10 points from 10 matches. Leicester are five points above the relegation zone and have done enough to suggest that they could escape the dreaded drop back to the second tier of English football.

Leicester will head into the Premier League match against Manchester United at Old Trafford this coming weekend on the back of a 1-1 drraw with Ipswich Town away from home in the league. It came after a 5-2 hammering at the hands of United away from home at Old Trafford in the last 16 of the League Cup.

Team News:
Leicester City are likely to line up in a 4-2-3-1 formation against Manchester United. Mads Hermansen will be in goal for the visiting team and will have Ricardo Pereira, Wout Faes, Jannik Vestergaard and Victor Kristiansen in front of him in defence. Wilfred Ndidi and Harry Winks will be the two holding midfielders. Fatawu Issahaku, Facundo Buonanotte and Stephy Mavididi will be the three attacking midfielders. Jamie Vardy will lead the line for the Foxes.
