Manchester United vs Leicester City Prediction

Manchester United were on a three-game winning streak but their mini-revival came crashing down in a limp performance against Palace. The defeat saw Ruben Amorim become the quickest manager in Manchester United history to lose five home Premier League games, doing so in just seven games. The 40-year-old is under intense pressure and a loss to relegation-threatened Leicester City could have dire consequences.

His predecessor Ruud van Nistelrooy enjoyed a good run in his interim role at Old Trafford, which eventually led to his appointment at the King Power Stadium. His final game as United manager incidentally came in a 3-0 thrashing of his current employers.

United have blown hot and cold throughout this season and their home form has left a lot to be desired. However, they should be able to do enough to advance to the next round.

Prediction: Manchester United 3-1 Leicester City
