Leicester vs Man Utd: Preview, predictions and lineups

• Premier League weekend concludes at the King Power
• Man Utd take on Leicester for the fourth time this season
• United heads into contest with momentum from Thursday’s win over Real Sociedad

Manchester United take on Leicester City for the fourth time this season, with King Power Stadium playing host to Sunday’s Premier League clash.

The two sides faced off in both domestic cup competitions as United continued their dominance in this fixture. The Red Devils have won each of the previous five meetings.

Most recently, Leicester were controversially knocked out of the FA Cup at Old Trafford thanks to a late Harry Maguire header. Which would’ve been ruled out had VAR been in use.

United have since eliminated from the FA Cup themselves and have little to play for in the Premier League, but they are still going strong in Europe. An emphatic 4-1 victory, inspired by a Bruno Fernandes hat-trick, over Real Sociedad on Thursday night saw them into the last eight of the Europa League.

The hosts are 19th and are currently six points adrift of Wolves in 17th.
