LiontipsManchester United vs Leicester City. Prediction and Betting Tips for 2022-23 English Premier League (February 19, 2023).
Command Analysis
After Manchester United drew 2-2 against Barcelona in the UEFA Europa League match midweek, attention turns to the Premier League. More optimistic United fans say the team is going to join the title race, being only five points behind Manchester City before this round. But boss Erik ten Hag is not willing to make such claims.
The Red Devils have won 13 of their last 14 home matches in all competitions. Moreover, the first-round game against Leicester ended in a victory for the United team. In 23 rounds of match, the hosts have recorded 14 wins and four draws, which correspond to 46 points and third place in the standings.
The home team will be without McTominay, van de Beek, Martial, Eriksen, Casemiro, and Antony.
In the last game, Leicester City managed to secure a strong-willed victory against Tottenham. The Foxes conceded a goal in the 14th minute, but then went on to lead 3-1 at halftime, with only VAR saving Spurs from a complete disaster. With a recent win against Aston Villa, the visitors are on a winning streak that they will hope to extend today.
However, Leicester have not avoided defeat at Old Trafford twice in one season since the 1970s. The quality of Brendan Rodgers side's defense leaves much to be desired as they have conceded goals in every match since the World Cup in Qatar. In the current Premier League campaign, the Foxes sit in 13th place on the log with 24 points from seven wins and three draws.
Justin, Evans, and Bertrand will sit out today's game.
