On November 10th, in the 11th round of the English Premier League, Manchester United will host Leicester City at Old Trafford. These two teams recently faced off in the League Cup, where Leicester endured a tough defeat.
Manchester United
Manchester United has recently undergone significant changes, with Erik ten Hag being dismissed from his managerial role. In his place, Ruud van Nistelrooy initially stepped in as interim head coach. Under his guidance, United secured a commanding 5-2 victory over Leicester in their League Cup clash. However, in the Premier League, the Red Devils currently find themselves in 14th place, having won only three of their nine matches. But the clash against Foxes will be played under the newly appointed coach Ruben Amorim, who will now be in charge.
Leicester City
Leicester City is trailing Manchester United by just two points in the league standings. However, their performance in the cup match highlighted a notable gap in quality. This season, Steve Cooper’s side has managed just one win in six away matches. In their most recent Premier League outing, Leicester suffered a 3-1 defeat at the hands of Nottingham Forest.
Player to Watch: Wilfred Ndidi
Leicester’s Nigerian midfielder, Wilfred Ndidi, had an impressive start to the autumn, contributing four assists in matches against Aston Villa, Crystal Palace, and Arsenal. However, he has not registered a goal contribution in the Premier League since late September. Ndidi missed the recent League Cup game against Manchester United, but he is expected to start in the upcoming match to help his team seek redemption.

Despite the recent heavy defeat in the League Cup and Manchester United being the bookmakers’ favorite, Leicester is showing signs of improvement and has demonstrated strong attacking play in recent matches. The Foxes are likely capable of scoring at least one goal at Old Trafford. Leicester’s resilience and attacking prowess could make this match an engaging contest.
Final Betting Tips
Leicester to score at least one goal seems like a good option and 1xBet estimates the odds of this happening at 1.57. But if you want to make a safer bet, try Manchester United to win for 1.386 at 1xBet.
