Leicester City have suffered some misfortune over the past week.

First they fell to a shock 3-0 home loss to Crystal Palace before a penalty shootout heart breaking loss to Manchester City in the League cup quarter final.

Generally, the Foxes are having a good season winning four of their last six games in all competition.

Their home form however needs serious improvement as they have lost four, won four and drawn one of their last 9 home league games.

The majority of Leicester’s home losses have come against top teams like Liverpool, Chelsea and Manchester City however that will not do their confidence much good as they face Manchester United this Saturday.

Manchester United themselves head into this game with a win on their mind after their shock Carabao Cup exit at the hands of Bristol City.

They will want to quickly put that behind them with a win here and they have a better record in the league with six wins from their last seven games.

Their only loss in that period came against table toppers Manchester City and they will need to keep the wins coming as they are already 11 points behind City who don’t look like letting their form slip one bit.

Away from home, their recent form is excellent with three consecutive wins ahead of this game.

They have beaten Leicester City in each of their last four meetings together.
