Leicester News and Form

The Foxes earned a great point for themselves at Liverpool on Wednesday night. They can be happy with that effort having fallen behind early in the fixture. That was also an important point for Foxes because they had lost their two previous league games. They do need to try and get some winning momentum going, that’s the one thing that they have been lacking.

They have suffered back to back league defeats at home, going down by a one-goal margin against Cardiff and then Southampton. Overall this season Leicester have won just four home fixtures (D2 L5). Can they improve upon that as they play host to Manchester United on the weekend?

Leicester have lost three of their last four home games. But in the one game that they didn’t lose in that sequence, the Foxes upset the odds in beating Manchester City. Less than half of Leicester’s home games this season in the top flight have made it over 2.5 goals, and that is because Leicester have been tight at the back.

Leicester currently have the fifth-best defensive Premier League record this season. At the end of the day, they have to be disappointed with their home performances. But with a win over Man City and a good point against Liverpool recently, they have reason to be confident. 75% of Leicester’s home goals have been conceded in the first half of matches.

Manchester United News and Form

Manchester United’s winning streak in the Premier League under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer came to an end on Tuesday night. They produced nothing more than an average, flat performance and had to fight their way back from 2-0 down at Old Trafford to earn a point against Burnley. United got their goals late in the game, just as they looked to be heading to defeat.

It leaves them unbeaten in their last seven league games which is still nothing to be sneezed at. Manchester United have taken just one defeat in their last twelve league fixtures. So their home winning streak is over, but they have won their last three EPL away games. Overall this season Manchester United have a W6 D2 L4 away record.

Manchester United have averaged just under 2 goals per away game this season. Over half of their road fixtures have ended over 3.5 goals. Manchester United have earned a clean sheet in their last two away games, something that they have been struggling with all season.

In fact, they have just the three away clean sheets all term. Both teams have scored in 75% United’s games away from Old Trafford. United have scored in all 12 away games this season. They have conceded 63% of their away goals in the second half of matches.
