THE LOWDOWN
MAN UTD
- Man Utd’s most recent fixture saw them knocked out of the Champions League at the hands of Atletico, but you have to go back to March 12th for the last time United were in Premier League action, when a memorable Cristiano Ronaldo hat-trick saw them triumph 3-2 over Tottenham.
- Interim boss Ralph Rangnick will be without striker Edinson Cavani for the visit of Leicester after the 35-year-old was injured whilst on international duty with Uruguay.
LEICESTER
- Leicester travel to Old Trafford in a good frame of mind following three wins from their last four in the Premier League, not to mention a Europa Conference League quarter-final clash with PSV to look forward to.
- Brendan Rodgers will be delighted to have defensive assets such as Wes Fofana and Jonny Evans available but Jamie Vardy will not be fit for this encounter.

THE PREDICTION
Whilst Leicester jostling for position in the Premier League, Man Utd are locked in a battle to finish inside the top four and with them currently sat in sixth-place, the Red Devils simply cannot afford any setbacks and need to put together a winning run immediately to give themselves the best chance. Leicester are coming off the back of three successive victories in their most recent three fixtures against Man Utd in all competitions. However, United with home advantage in their favour and the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo among their ranks, fresh off his hat-trick last time out in the Premier League will be desperate to give themselves the best chance in their race to finish top four and should have enough quality to overcome the Foxes.
Tip: MAN UTD TO WIN
