Leicester v Man Utd

Leicester vs Manchester United Preview

Leicester City slumped to a 12th defeat in 13 games in the Premier League last weekend when The Foxes suffered a 1-0 defeat away at Stamford Bridge against Chelsea as former Leicester City boss Enzo Maresca got the better of his previous club, but although Leicester City now return to the home surroundings of their King Power Stadium on Sunday, this holds no guarantees of success for the struggling east midlands outfit.

Manchester United's mixed bag of results in this season's Premier League continued last weekend when the Red Devils gained a promising point by way of a 1-1 draw at home with Arsenal but the visitors hit the road again for Sunday's trip to the King Power Stadium.

Leicester City, along with fellow promoted side Ipswich Town, are in danger of being cast adrift at the bottom of the Premier League with seemingly already relegated Southampton, as The Foxes have managed to claim just a single win from their last 14 matches overall in the English top flight.

Six of Leicester City's 12 recent defeats have also been handed out to Ruud van Nistelrooij's side on home soil at the King Power Stadium with losses incurred at the hands of Wolves, Manchester City, Crystal Palace, Fulham, Arsenal and Brentford respectively which suggest further trouble could be in store for Leicester City on Sunday.

In addition, these last six losses at home have all been consecutive defeats for Leicester City so the omens do not look good for the hosts.

Manchester United extended their unbeaten run in all competitions to three games in midweek when the Red Devils cruised to a 4-1 home win against Spanish club Real Sociedad in the 2nd leg of their Europa League round of last 16 tie.

United had previously held Real Sociedad to a 1-1 draw away from home at the Reale Arena along with holding second placed Arsenal to a 1-1 draw at Old Trafford last weekend in the Premier League, so the visitors may be cautiously confident about their chances of gaining a result at the King Power Stadium on Sunday.

After having had to endure a dismal four-match losing streak from mid-December through to the end of that month, Manchester United's results have actually shown slow but steady improvement as the Red Devils have slipped to just four further losses from their subsequent 16 matches across all competitions.

However, results away from home largely continue to elude Ruben Amorim's side as Manchester United have registered just two wins from their previous 11 outings on the road, but even so, United should still have enough to gain the upper hand over a poor Leicester City outfit.
