Manchester United vs Leicester City - Premier League: TV channel, prediction, team news and lineups

Manchester United smashed Leicester 5-2 in the EFL Cup a mere 11 days ago, meaning the Foxes have still not won at Old Trafford in front of supporters since 1998, a fact they're hoping to change.

Manchester United vs Leicester City Preview

Can Manchester United start to climb up the Premier League table? Last Sunday, the Red Devils were held to a 1-1 draw by Chelsea, with Bruno Fernandes' spot-kick breaking the deadlock, only for the Blues to equalise almost instantaneously. Man United have therefore won only one of their last six in the Premier League, still all the way down in 13th, equidistant away from third and third bottom.

This will be Ruud van Nistelrooy's fourth and final match in interim charge and he has successfully improved the mood, overseeing a pair of victories in cup competitions. As referenced earlier, his team swatted Leicester aside 5-2 in the EFL Cup, before beating PAOK 2-0 on Thursday, Amad with a brace, thereby claiming their first victory in this season's Europa League. So, with Rúben Amorim's arrival now imminent, can van Nistelrooy sign off with a victory?

Leicester City meantime would leapfrog their hosts with victory, more than happy to remain in-or-around their current position of 15th from now until May. Steve Cooper's side snatched a draw at Ipswich last time out; Jordan Ayew's 94th minute toe-poke salvaging a share of the spoils in Suffolk a week ago. The Foxes have therefore lost only two of seven matches since the start of September, currently sat five points clear of the drop zone. Thus, could Leicester pull off an upset?

Manchester United Team News

Tyrell Malacia, Harry Maguire and Leny Yoro remain sidelined, but Luke Shaw has reportedly returned to full training this week, most-recently featuring for Man United at Luton in February. Victor Lindelöf and Jonny Evans got the nod in defence against PAOK, but Matthijs de Ligt and Lisandro Martínez will return here- the Argentine is one yellow card away from a ban. Elsewhere, Mason Mount and Christian Eriksen both returned off the bench on Thursday, while Amad's brace that downed the Greek champions could see him keep his place, chosen over Marcus Rashford out-wide.

Manchester United predicted lineup vs Leicester City: (4-2-3-1): Onana; Dalot, de Ligt, Martínez, Mazraoui; Ugarte, Casemiro, Fernandes, Amad, Garnacho; Højlund.

Manchester United Player to Watch vs Leicester City

Fit again Victor Kristiansen will continue at left-back, after James Justin had filled-in there, while Steve Cooper surprisingly dropped Caleb Okoli against Ipswich, deploying Jannik Vestergaard as Wout Faes' partner. Jordan Ayew's late equaliser off the bench could see him earn a start while Facundo Buonanotte, who's arguably been the Foxes' best player this season, would sit out the clash with Chelsea after the international break if booked.

Leicester City predicted lineup vs Manchester United: (4-3-3): Hermansen; Ricardo, Okoli, Faes, Justin; Ndidi, Winks, Buonanotte, Fatawu, J Ayew; Vardy.
