Our prediction for the match Manchester United vs Leicester
“The Red Devils” were already seriously losing ground last season. They failed to reach the play-offs in the Champions League, finishing last in the group, and fell to 8th place in the Premier League. Nevertheless, the club won the FA Cup at the end. “The Foxes” were relegated to the Championship in 2023. Still, they immediately returned, and took 1st place ahead of schedule.
The higher mentioned result was achieved by Maresca, but the specialist changed the club to the more ambitious and rich one, Chelsea, in the summer. His successor, Steve Cooper, had been replaced before the end of autumn. Van Nistelrooy took over as coach in November. Still, the Dutch mentor, having started with a victory over West Ham and a comeback to draw in the meeting with Brighton, lost in 7 rounds of the championship in a row. And only the struggle with the crisis rival, Tottenham, where the team was the first to concede, gave an opportunity to take a victory. Still, then there was a 0-4 failure in the game against Everton. “The Mancunians” also replaced their manager in the autumn, and also without any progress in the Premier League. Crystal Palace confirmed this fact by winning with a 2-0 score at Old Trafford. Speaking about the League Cup, they have already finished the fight, having lost to Tottenham. At the same time, there is the Europa League, where the English club took a final win in the confrontation with FCSB.
