Why Manchester United will win
Manager Erik ten Hag's men are on a roll. The Red Devils have just two losses in their last 28 matches across all competitions. In their last 18 games, they have outscored their opponents, 42-15.
In addition, Marcus Rashford has been unstoppable everywhere but particularly at Old Trafford. The 25-year-old forward has scored in his last six Premier League home matches. Only Ronaldo, who scored in 10 straight, and Wayne Rooney (eight) have scored in more consecutive EPL home matches among Man United players all-time.
Why Leicester will win
The Foxes are in good offensive form. The club has scored four goals in each of its last two matches -- a 4-1 victory over Spurs and a 4-2 win over Aston Villa. Both James Maddison and Kelechi Iheanacho have scored in each of the last two games.
In addition, Leicester face a Man U team that will be missing star midfielder Casemiro. The 30-year-old Brazilian will not be available to the Red Devils while serving the last game of a three-game suspension for a red card he incurred against Crystal Palace. Casemiro's defensive play and game management was key in Man United's draw against Barcelona.
