Leicester vs Manchester United Match Preview

Leicester welcomes Manchester United at King Power Stadium on the Premier League's Boxing Day.

The hosts come from a big 2-0 win over Tottenham in London, getting back to winning ways after the heavy defeat against Everton. Leicester opened the scoreline with a penalty kick at the added time of the first half and managed to secure the three points by doubling their lead at the 59th minute.

After this result, Brendan Rodger's team is ranked at the 2nd spot of the table with 27 points, having just 4 points less than the league leaders Liverpool.

In the previous round, Manchester United exploded in the match against Leeds United, winning by an impressive 6-2! They scored 2 early goals just 4 minutes after kick-off, while they extended their lead to a four-goal margin till the 37th minute and secured all three points. With these three points, Manchester United reached the 3rd spot in the league table with a total of 26 points, while they have played one match less than Liverpool and Leicester.

In the League Cup, they faced Everton in the midweek game at Goodison Park and prevailed easily by 2-0, qualifying to the semi-finals of the competition.

An exciting match is expected on Boxing Day between these title competitors which are very strong teams this year. Leicester had an average start this season, but still, they are in the top spots of the standings, aiming for the title. Man United, on the other hand, have just one defeat in the last 10 rounds, while they are still impeccable on the road having 6 wins. I expect a fast-paced game with many goal-scoring chances since both sides have plenty of quality in their rosters. Over 2,5 goals to be scored is my call, offered at 1.70 odds.
