Leicester – Manchester United
16.10.2021
The Premier League returns to the fold with another set of fixtures this weekend as Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s Manchetser United lock horns with a formidable Leicester side at the King Power Stadium on Saturday. Leicester City are in 13th place in the Premier League standings and have struggled to meet expectations this season. Manchester United, on the other hand, have assembled a star-studded squad this season and will be intent on winning the Premier League title. The Red Devils have stuttered on a few occasions in recent weeks and cannot afford to drop points in this fixture.
Manchester United have a good record against Leicester City and have won 68 out of 133 matches, as opposed to Leicester City’s 35 victories. The previous meeting between the two teams took place in May this year and ended in a 2-1 victory for Leicester City.
With both Harry Maguire and Raphael Varane injured this week, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer will have to rely heavily on his side’s firepower on Saturday. Leicester City are yet to hit their stride in the Premier League but have improved over the past month. Both teams are on a fairly even footing at the moment and are likely to share the spoils this weekend.
This match will be played on 16/10/2021 at 17:00.
