Man Utd vs Leicester predictions, team news, odds, and betting tips
Manchester United and Leicester City go head-to-head in a Premier League clash on Sunday, November 10th, at 2pm (UK time).
United are beginning a new era after Erik ten Hag was sacked. Their first game without the Dutchman was actually a 5-2 win over Leicester in the EFL Cup under Ruud van Nistelrooy, whose interim spell in charge will be nicely bookended by another game against the Foxes the day before Ruben Amorim takes over. Manchester United fans took on a new level of excitement for Amorim’s impending arrival after observing his Sporting side thrash Man City in the Champions League on Tuesday night, but the team will be keen to go into that new era in good form by beating Leicester on Sunday.
Leicester need the points as well as they look to keep their heads above water in the fight to stay in the Premier League.
Bruno Fernandes to score or assist (8/13 with Bet365)
Bruno Fernandes has four goals and four assists to his name in nine career appearances against Leicester, including scoring against them twice in United’s recent 5-2 EFL Cup win over the Foxes.
Fernandes has remained a bright spark for United despite their struggles this season, leading the way with 5.7 non-penalty xG + xA in the Manchester United squad.
Man Utd 3-1 Leicester (11/1 with William Hill)
Man Utd have won their last three games against Leicester across all competitions, averaging three goals per game along the way. However, Man Utd have also conceded in all of their home matches aside from opening day against Fulham, where they still conceded 10 shots, so keeping a clean sheet seems unlikely again here.
The cup matches have shown that Man Utd do have goals in the team, and Ruud van Nistelrooy did promise attacking football in his short caretaker spell, so all of the ingredients are there for a high scoring encounter.

How both teams go into Man Utd vs Leicester
This will be the final match before Ruben Amorim takes charge of Manchester United, with his reign officially beginning on November 11th. Until then Ruud Van Nistelrooy will look to build on the 5-2 win over the Foxes in his first game in charge, having gone unbeaten across his three games in charge, winning in midweek against PAOK and holding Chelsea to a draw in his only Premier League match in charge. Van NIstelrooy promised the fans of the club to persue attacking football, and they have scored in all of the Dutchman’s matches in charge.
Leicester are curently 15th in the Premier League table, but they have seven points from their last four matches. The Foxes are 18th for xG created in their 10 matches so far, as well as being 18th for xG against.
Man Utd team news
Antony, Kobbie Mainoo, Luke Shaw and Tyrell Malacia will all remain sidelined for this match, as is midweek hero Amad Diallo. Leny Yoro is back in training, but is unlikely to feature at this stage of his recovery.
Expected XI: Onana; Dalot, De Ligt, Martinez, Mazraoui; Casemiro, Ugarte; Rashford, Fernandes, Garnacho; Hojlund
Leicester team news
Hamza Choudhury and Patson Daka are both on edge of inclusion for this match after injury. Jordan Ayew is a potential change from their last league match as he has made good impact from the bench and can use his experience in this one ahead of Stephy Mavididi.
Expected XI: Hermansen; Justin, Faes, Okoli, Kristiansen; Soumare, Winks; Fatawu, Buonanotte, Ayew; Vardy
Man Utd vs Leicester head-to-head
