Manchester United v Leicester Betting Preview – Premier League 24th September
A big start to the weekend here from Old Trafford. Manchester United have suffered some setbacks recently, while Leicester look to be finding their feet in the season. Can the Red Devils snap their two match losing streak in the Premier League or will the Foxes be able to go to the Theatre of Dreams and land a result there? They took a point away from their trip there last season and with them having the goals in them to perhaps upset the Red Devils, Leicester could be a nice underdog this weekend that punters will be supporting.

Manchester United v Leicester Betting Tips
A big game for Manchester United and boss Jose Mourinho now as they are staring down the barrel off three straight Premier League losses. After losing their derby match against Manchester City, United slumped to a really poor loss at Watford last weekend, putting in probably their worst performance of the season. Nothing is working for them at the moment so will they be able to bounce back against Leicester on Saturday? Manchester United are unbeaten in their last seven at home against Leicester in league competition and have shipped just the four goals in total in that sequence of games. So that at least is going for them and the Red Devils have scored in each of their last 14 Premier League matches against Leicester too for a total of 33 goals.
Last season’s Premier League clash at Old Trafford ended in a 1-1 draw and you can have a shot at a price of 13/2 on that being repeated this time around as well. If you wanted to roll with United really getting back to impressive winning ways then they are a quote of 15/8 to win to nil in this one with Paddy Power. Jose Mourinho isn’t in great form as a club manager, having lost 12 of his last 23 league games as a manager. Prior to this, he suffered just 12 defeats in a sequence of 110 league matches, so is his Special touch waning? Jose Mourinho hasn’t gotten a win on the board against Claudio Ranieri in any of his last four managerial duels with him either. Zlatan Ibrahimovic has scored in his two home games for United in the top flight this season and is a price of 20/21 in the anytime goalscorer market with Marcus Rashford at 11/10.
Well Leicester seem to be building a bit of momentum now with a great win on their UEFA Champions League debut and a 3-0 victory over Burnley last weekend in the Premier League. They did turnout in midweek and lost at home against Chelsea 4-2 in a thrilling League Cup tie, but that having been said, they looked very sharp going forward, really on point as they always were last season on the counter attack. So the Foxes are finding the goals at the moment it would seem and there is a price of 4/5 with Paddy Power on the game going over 2.5 goals. The Foxes don’t have a great run of form going at Old Trafford, having won just one of their last 18 trips there, a win which came back in 1998.
Jamie Vardy has scoring form against the Red Devils, with three of his four games against Manchester United for Leicester in all competitions. Vardy is up at a quote of 9/4 in the anytime goalscorer market while Islam Slimani is 11/4. He netted twice on his Premier League debut last weekend and actually has netted 22 goals in 23 league appearances so far in 2016 (20 Portuguese Liga goals, 2 Premier League goals). That’s a pretty impressive return. Leicester’s form on the road in the Premier League has seen them lose both of their road trips so far and they shipped six goals in the process too. They aren’t as strong as they were last season at the back, but there are increasing signs that they are back at their best getting forward.

Manchester United v Leicester Predictions
This could get very interesting, because Leicester have the work rate and the pace to go and hurt a pretty static looking Manchester United. The Red Devils have put in some shoddy performance and will likely find the going tough against the energetic Leicester. There’s work for Mourinho to do and Leicester look at the moment as if they can roll into Old Trafford and pick up a point. Draw in the outright market looks tempting. Leicester are 11/4 in a draw no bet option too.
