The Premier League 2022-23 has reached a very vulnerable situation where the top three teams are in a very close race for the title. After witnessing a draw in the Champions League fixture against Barcelona, Manchester United are back to Old Trafford to host Leicester City in a Premier League fixture on Sunday.
Manchester United have witnessed a revival in their style of play and they are now in the third spot in the Premier League point table. The Red Devils gave a tough time to the hosts Barcelona in their Champions League game. And when it comes to EPL, top bookmakers in India have given them some good odds to finish in the top four this season.
Meanwhile, Leicester City are in decent form as well and are coming in this match after back-to-back wins. Overall it has not been a good season for them so far but they have enough capability to get something out of this match.
We expect it to be an end-to-end game and in the end, the match will end in a 1-1 draw.
The betting tip is...
The match to end in a draw
The Red Devils have done a great job since the return of the Premier League after the FIFA World Cup 2022 break. With 39% possession in their last game against Barcelona in the Champions League, Manchester United converted two opportunities into goals. Marcus Rashford scored in the 52nd minute and it was the luck of the Red Devils that their second goal was a mistake by the Barcelona player. The game ended up as a draw with a scoreline of 2-2.
Christian Eriksen is serving an ankle injury and Donny van de Beek won’t be available for the rest of the season because of a knee injury.
Predicted Lineup: De Gea, Wan-Bissaka, Varane, Martinez, Shaw, Sabitzer, Fred, Fernandes, Garnacho, Rashford, Weghorst
In a stunning move in the last fixture against Tottenham, Leicester City dominated the fixture and scored a home win by 4-1. The Foxes are on a three-match winning streak and they have defeated Tottenham, Aston Villa, and Walsall in the FA Cup 4th round. Nampalys Mendy and James Maddison gave an early advantage to their team and helped the home team to dominate the game.
Tielemans will be making his comeback to the team after recovering from a calf injury.
Predicted Lineup: Ward, Castagne, Souttar, Faes, Kristiansen, Tielemans, Dewsbury-Hall, Maddison, Tete, Iheanacho, Barnes
Although Man United are flying high and will be favourite to win this match we think fatigue might be an issue after their Thursday night fixture against Barca.
Meanwhile, Leicester players will be fresh after a whole week's break, and keeping their form in mind - they might get a draw at Old Trafford.
