BETTING PREVIEW MANCHESTER UTD vs LEICESTER

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side came from a goal down to beat Aston Villa 3-1 on Sunday and two days later they resume league action against Leicester City.

Manchester United have a hectic five days of football, as they play three English Premier League matches in that span.

The victory against 11th place Villa consequently delayed Manchester City’s title party, with their noisy neighbors needing United to slip for them to be crowned champions.

They face a somewhat troubled Leicester side who are coming off a shock 4-2 home loss at the hands of Newcastle United on Saturday.

The defeat made it two games that the foxes have gone without registering a win and they need at least a point on Tuesday night if they are to have a chance at a top-four finish.

Even if United manage to prevail against Leicester – which would mark their 15th Premier League match in a row without defeat – it would surely only delay City’s inevitable title coronation by another few days.

The Foxes have been far from consistent on home soil this season, but they travel to Old Trafford having lost just one of their last 12 Premier League matches.

What time does Man United vs Leicester start?

The game kicks off at 7pm UTC time at Old Trafford.
