Prediction: 2-0
Leicester
Manchester United will look to recover from a 2-1 loss to West Ham United when they face Leicester City at Old Trafford in the EFL Cup last 16. The Red Devils have slim chances of winning Premier League trophy and, no doubt, they want to go all the way in the EFL Cup. Noussair Mazraoui is unlikely to be risked after limping off with injury against the Hammers, with Victor Lindelof likely to step up. Amad Diallo and Joshua Zirkzee are pushing for a start as well. It has to be noted that Ruud van Nistelrooy will be in charge of the team as Erik ten Hag got sacked.
The Foxes, on the other hand, struggled defensively in a 3-1 loss to Nottingham Forest, which is probably the main reason why we are going to bet on the home side. In their last encounter at the “Theatre of Dreams” Man Utd defeated Leicester 3-0 and we predict that history is going to repeat itself. The likes of Paston Daka, Jakub Stolarczyk, Hamza Choudhury, and Jannik Vestergaard are sidelined with injuries for the visiting team.
