Manchester U vs Leicester C 24/9 – Betting Tips Premier League
Manchester United Under Huge Pressure
LEAGUE: English Premier League
GAME: Manchester United vs Leicester City
LOCATION: Old Trafford
DATE: Saturday 24/9
TIME: 13:30
In 112 previous meetings between the teams, Manchester United have won 61 times, Leicester City have won 33 times and there have been 28 draws.
Manchester United come into this match on the back of two straight defeats in the Premier League and growing question marks over the management of Jose Mourinho. The 2-1 loss at home to Manchester City was bad enough but this was followed by a poor 3-1 defeat at Watford last weekend and leaves Mourinho with some serious questions to answer. Will he bite the bullet and drop his captain, Wayne Rooney or could world record signing, Paul Pogba, be demoted to the bench, in an attempt to solve the team’s problems?
Leicester City arrive at Old Trafford having won 3-0 against Burnley last weekend and look to be finding their feet this season. Sitting 11th in the Premier League table, Claudio Ranieri knows it will be extremely difficult to come close to what the club achieved last season but they will be confident of taking something away from this game.
Tips
We have looked closely at the following aspects of this match, which offer good betting value:
- Winner
- Result and Both Teams to Score
- First Goalscorer
United Struggling
Manchester United are struggling to find the right system this season and Leicester will be aiming to take advantage of that. However, Leicester have not defeated Manchester United at Old Trafford since 1998 and even though, as a team, United are out of sorts, they have the individual talent to at least take a point from this game.
Game Tip: Draw is 3.8 at Bet365
No Clean Sheets
If Manchester United are to take anything from this game, they are going to need to score goals, if recent defensive displays are anything to go by. The club have conceded 5 goals in their last two Premier League matches and Leicester have the attacking talent to really trouble them at the back.
Game Tip: Draw and Both Teams to Score is 5 at Bet365
Rashford the Saviour
If there has been one shining light so far this season for Manchester United, it’s been Marcus Rashford. The striker, despite not starting the match well at Watford last weekend, scored United’s only goal and also netted the winner at Hull, making him a sure starter in this match for Jose Mourinho’s team.
Game Tip: Marcus Rashford to Score First is 6 at Ladbrokes
