Leicester vs Manchester Utd Prediction & Betting tips
The current numbers two (Manchester United) and three (Leicester City) of the Premier League have been linked in the FA Cup quarter finals. On Sunday, these two teams will meet at Old Trafford with a semi-final place in the cup tournament as bet.
Leicester City:
Leicester City is the number three in the Premier League and hopes to have success in the Premier League in the coming weeks also success in the FA Cup. The current third place in the Premier League would give Leicester City a ticket to the Champions League in more than two months. With that, the season of The Foxes would have been a great success. Especially since Leicester City lost such a Champions League ticket in the final round of last season. Looking at the current state, Leicester City now has everything in its own hands again. It is up to The Foxes not to lose Champions League qualification again in the last weeks of the season.
In the Premier League, Leicester managed to win the last two games. After a 1-2 victory over Brighton two weeks ago, Leicester was 5-0 too strong for Sheffield United last weekend. With a hat-trick, Kelechi Iheanacho was the big man at Leicester City against Sheffield. Remarkably enough, club top scorer Jamie Vardy was unable to find the net in that game. In the coming round of play, Leicester will play a home game in the Premier League against league-leader Manchester City. Before that, the FA Cup game with Manchester United is on the program for the Rodgers team, which also has to miss a lot of players this weekend due to injuries.
Manchester United:
Vice leader Manchester United is one point ahead of Leicester City in the Premier League. The Red Devils are fourteen points behind leader Manchester City. It is therefore important for Manchester United to remain in the top-4 of the Premier League in the coming months. Ole Gunnar Solskjær’s team can still win two main prizes: the FA Cup and the Europa League. Manchester United last won the FA Cup in 2016.
The Europa League last won Manchester United a year later, in 2017. In the Europa League, Manchester United managed to qualify for the quarter-finals on Thursday evening. In Italy, AC Milan was beaten 0-1 by a goal from Paul Pogba and that was enough for Manchester United to reach the next round. On Friday afternoon it was announced that Manchester United will take on Granada in the quarter finals of the Europa League. A goal from substitute Pogba ensured that Manchester United achieved European success and the French midfielder can count on a starting place due to his performance during the cup match with Leicester City.
