LEICESTER
The foxes will be out looking for redemption, Brendan Rodger’s side is yet to clinch a win this season. Their opening match looked within reach as they took the lead in the first half, the second half took them little time to double the lead, but they, however, could not contain the pressure as Brentford pulled one back in the 62nd minute and later scored the equalizer in the 86th minute as the game ended 2-2 at the Kings Power Stadium.
Week 2, 3, and week 4 saw the Foxes produce similar results, a 4-2 loss against Arsenal followed by a 2-1 loss to the Saints and the most recent 2-1 loss against 10-men Chelsea, making Leicester amongst the five teams who are yet to clinch a win this season.
The foxes have been involved in a total of 17 goals in their last six matches, allowing 10 in all competitions and firing in 7 in return, with 2w, 3l, and a draw. Three of their last home games saw them claim only one win and that was last season when they beat Southampton 4-1, the most recent two resulted in a draw and a loss. Up against the team they thumped in two back-to-back wins,3-1 in the FA Quarter Finals and 4-2 in PL match day 8 their manager will opt for the positive result here.
MANCHESTER UNITED
Manchester United just made it two back-to-back wins, a 2-1 win against Liverpool and the most recent 1-0 win against the Saints. The game saw United dominate with 52%, with 6 shots on target and 11 goal attempts, but they lacked the finishing power, but the new number 8, Bruno Fernandes, the Portuguese International had a say in the 55th minute as he scored his first goal of the season, thanks to Dalot assist.
Ten Hag seems to be mastering the winning formula after suffering two losses in his opening fixtures, the first game saw them bow down for the second time to Brighton, and the 2-1 loss to Brighton, followed up a 4-0 loss last season. Brentford further sunk United’s hopes to resurface as they went 4 goals up in the first half, but that was all they needed to claim all three points and that result took United to the relegation zone as they sat bottom on the table.
The Red devil’s boss Erik Ten Hag will be looking forward to a third win in a roll as they travel to the King Power, where they have only won once in four games, and that win was in the 2019-20 season. The most recent three saw the foxes win two and drew 1 at home.
