It has been a tough start to the campaign for Manchester United and they will be hoping to find some respite in the Carabao Cup, a trophy Erik ten Hag won as his first back in 2023. Leicester City await next, with the Foxes starting to find a way in the Premier League under Steve Cooper and this should be a nice distraction from the relegation scrap, and they can enjoy going to Old Trafford without any pressure on them.

Manchester United vs Leicester City Analysis
This should be an entertaining encounter for all punters at Old Trafford.
Manchester United
So much pressure has been piled on Manchester United and their manager Erik ten Hag this season, with the Red Devils languishing down in the bottom half of the Premier League table. Cup competitions have often come to the rescue for ten Hag during his United tenure, and he will be hoping he can find another result here. By contrast, if things don’t work out here against Leicester City, the pressure will intensify even more for the Dutchman.
Team news: Luke Shaw. Leny Yoro, Lisandro Martinez and Harry Maguire are part of a defensive crisis here for Manchester United.
Manchester United Predicted Lineup:
Onana, Dalot, de Ligt, Evans, Casemiro, Collyer, Mount, Mainoo, Antony, Rashford & Zirkzee.
Leicester City
Steve Cooper has added a steel to Leicester City so far this term and they are managing to cope with the demands of the Premier League in attritional fashion. A cup run won’t be at the top of the agenda at the King Power but if the Foxes can find their groove here, momentum will really start to build around the prospect of them kicking on towards a Wembley final and the pressure is certainly not on them here.
Team news: It appears the Foxes have a full squad to pick from for this one.
Leicester City Predicted Lineup:
Ward, Pereira, Coady, Okoli, Thomas, Choudhury, Soumare, Fatawu, Decordova-Reid, Buonanotte & Vardy.
Manchester United vs Leicester City Prediction
A Carabao Cup run would be seen as the ideal way for Erik ten Hag to appease the pressure on him at Manchester United, but it would only paper over the cracks. This should be a good game, with Leicester sure to throw some caution to the wind but Manchester United are desperate for a win and they should get one here.
Prediction: Manchester United to win the match – 1/3 (-300) – Rhino Bet.
Manchester United vs Leicester City – The Ultimate Bet
Manchester United to win & BTTS – 5/2 (+250) – Fitzdares
With Leicester City all too aware that this one needs to be decided on the night, they may feel compelled to try and catch Manchester United on the hop here and have a really good go at them. However, United need to take hold of the narrative and they should manage to get the job done here at home.
