LiontipsManchester United vs Leicester. Prediction (odds 4.30) and bets on the English Premier League match
Command Analysis
Current form
Since Erik ten Hag resignation, Manchester United have played three matches without losing a single one. First, they won the League Cup with a thumping 5-2 victory over Leicester, then managed to draw 1-1 with Chelsea at home. In their last home game, the Mancunians won their first victory in the current Europa League – they beat Greek PAOK 2-0. Ruud van Nistelrooy is currently in charge of the team. Amorim is expected to take over after the international break.
It should be noted that all three successful matches of Manchester United were played on their home field. The upcoming game against Leicester will also be held at Old Trafford. In the Premier League, it cannot be said that the home factor has helped the Red Devils much before - only seven points scored on their home field in five games played.
Overall, the team play has shown progress. First of all, they have played more boldly in attack; against Chelsea, for example, they made more shots on target than their opponents. The players are not afraid to go forward in large numbers. Plus, the defense practically does not allow itself to make any obvious failures.

Due to injuries, Yoro, Shaw, Mainu, Malasia and Maguire will not be able to play today.

- Manchester United have drawn in the first half in three of their last four matches
- The Red Devils' previous 11 Premier League games have not seen more than three goals scored
- Manchester United have failed to score in the opening 45 minutes of their last six Premier League games
Tentative line-up : Onana - Mazraoui, de Ligt, Martinez, Dalot - Ugarte, Casemiro - Garnacho, Fernandes, Rashford - Hoylund.
Current form
Of all the Premier League newcomers this season, Leicester have adapted to the new conditions the best. The Foxes have earned 10 points in 10 matches played and have a comfortable five-point lead over the relegation zone before the start of the next round. Steve Cooper charges have taught their fans that they take the maximum where the opponent allows it. Thus, they won at home against Bournemouth (1:0). Away, they snatched victory from Southampton, who are far from the strongest at the moment (3:2) and drew 1:1 with Ipswich in the last round.
Overall, https://www.lcfc.com/?lang=en target=_blank rel=noopener>Leicester improved noticeably during the season, even in lost games they forced their opponents to fight. The only exception was the cup failure with Manchester United (2:5), but there the Foxes only had two solid players in the starting lineup.
It should be noted that away matches involving Leicester are quite productive. In five games at foreign arenas, the team scored nine goals, while conceding 11 times. The experienced Jamie Vardy, who is already 37 years old, never ceases to please with his play and effective actions.

Stolyarchik and Daka will not play today due to injuries. Choudhury appearance on the field is questionable.
Interesting trends for betting
- Leicester have drawn in the first half in two of their last three matches
- Both teams have scored in 10 of Leicester last 11 Premier League games

2.20Tip and bets
Manchester United game has changed somewhat since Erik ten Hag left, especially in attack. The players are more confident in going forward, creating chances without any problems, and their implementation is fine. Leicester are certainly a dangerous opponent, they know how to use their few chances up front, but they are still noticeably inferior to the Red Devils in class, which was evident in the recent game in the League Cup, even though the lineups were not the main ones. We think that the Mancunians are capable of once again winning a confident victory over the Foxes on their home field.
Our prediction is Manchester United to win with an Asian handicap (-1.5) at odds of 1.97
Bet on total
Seven goals were scored in the League Cup head-to-head encounter. Overall, in the last eight head-to-head encounters, the opponents have only failed to score at least three goals twice.

The second bet is total over three goals with odds of 1.68
Bet on the exact difference in the score
In two of their last three defeats, Leicester have been beaten by two goals. We think Manchester United will try to secure a comfortable win today and avoid a nervous ending.
Prediction: Manchester United win by two goals with odds of 4.30
