THE LOWDOWN
MAN UTD
- There is a real confidence in this Man Utd team at the moment having lost just one of their last 18 games in all competitions, and they will have taken great pride from their impressive midweek display in the Nou Camp.
- The influential Casemiro serves the final game of his domestic suspension which should see Marcel Sabitzer return to central midfield, while other changes are likely given the Red Devils’ congested schedule.
LEICESTER
- Leicester have found their scoring boots lately having scored four goals in each of their last two Premier League games – both of which they won – and they look a dangerous outfit right now.
- Youri Tielemans has been declared fit after missing the win over Tottenham and Brendan Rodgers will be tempted to throw the Belgian midfielder back into the starting line-up, while Boubakary Soumare is also available for selection.

THE PREDICTION
Man Utd are flying right now but they run into a team who have been scoring goals for fun lately, and that sets us up for what promises to be an entertaining encounter. Recent matches between the two teams also point towards goals, with both teams finding the net in five of the last six meetings in all competitions. Moreover, there hasn’t been a goalless draw in this fixture since 1997, and with attacking players on either side of the pitch in red hot form right now, backing over 2.5 goals looks like a sensible choice.
TIP: OVER 2.5 GOALS
