Manchester United vs Leicester City: EFL Cup Prediction Match Details
The Carabao Cup action continued on Wednesday night as Leicester City will face Manchester United in the fourth round at the Old Trafford Stadium. Expect a turn-around of form from the Red Devil following the sacking of their head coach, Erik ten Hag.
Manchester United Preview & Form
Manchester United come into their fourth-round tie having confirmed the departure of first-team manager Erik ten Hag on Monday. The Red Devil will be guided by caretaker manager Ruud van Nistelrooy in this match, and he will be hoping the team can spark back to life. They suffered a major setback in their last match against West Ham United in a game the Red Devil failed to convert their chances and ended up suffering a 2-1 defeat. The Red Devils have now only recorded just one win across their last eight matches in all competitions, drawing five and losing two. In their last Carabao Cup game, they heavily thrashed league-one side Barnsley in the third round by a 7-0 scoreline.
United has been disappointed when playing on their home soil in all competitions this season, as they have only recorded three wins from their opening six matches. They suffered a 3-0 defeat to both Liverpool and Tottenham in the league at home while playing a draw against Twente in the Europa League phase game. The Era of new management should boost their confidence.
Leicester City Preview & Form
Leicester City comes into their fourth round of the Carabao Cup following a disappointing 3-1 defeat against Nottingham Forest at the Vitality Stadium, with the defeat putting an end to their two-match winning streak. The Foxes had to qualify for their third-round games of the EFL Cup through penalties against League Two side Walsall, indicating their poor performance in all competitions this season. They have already suffered four defeats since being promoted to the Premier League against Aston Villa, Fulham, Arsenal, and Nottingham Forest.
The Foxes’ away form has been disappointing, having only secured one win while losing two. Four of the last five on the road games have both been full of goals, with both teams scoring during the process.
