Leicester City v Manchester United Matched Betting Tips

Leicester City v Manchester United matched betting tips for the Premier League match at The King Power Stadium on Saturday 23rd December.  Read the match preview and predictions for Leicester City v Manchester United matched betting tips.

Both of these sides are looking to bounce back from defeats in the last week. Leicester City fell to a poor home defeat last Saturday against Crystal Palace, losing 3-0 in the end but then took Manchester City all the way to penalties in the cup. Claude Puel has done well since becoming manager. Manchester United will be devastated to lose to Bristol City in the Carabao Cup quarter final on Wednesday, a result that is slightly embarrassing for a club of Man United’s stature.

Leicester City Team News

Leicester took Manchester City into extra-time on Tuesday night but Claude Puel made sure to rest some key players from the start. Jamie Vardy, Demarai Gray and Riyad Mahrez came off the bench, so they should be 100% but Saturday evening. Wilfred Ndidi served his one-match ban in that cup tie and will return to action here.

Leicester City v Manchester United Predictions

Though both sides were put out of the Carabao Cup at the quarter final stage in midweek, Leicester City will be a lot happier with their effort after taking an almost unstoppable Manchester City side all the way to penalties.

Manchester United have now lost two of their last four matches in all competitions, as many as their previous ten matches combined which will be worrying for Jose Mourinho, who is beginning to come under a bit of pressure considering the amount of money the club have spent.

The tip is for Manchester United to edge this, as they really need to get a result here. Leicester City will certainly make it difficult for them and there should be goals in the game.
