Recent form

Manchester United

Manchester United's recent form has been rather mixed, with the Red Devils struggling to find consistency in their performances. The team have managed only two wins in their last six matches across all competitions, drawing three and losing one. Despite their mid-table position in the Premier League, United have shown flashes of their attacking prowess, particularly in their recent 5-2 League Cup victory over Leicester City. This high-scoring affair stands out as an anomaly in their recent results, with most matches being tighter affairs. Defensively, the team have been somewhat porous, keeping only one clean sheet in their last six games and conceding in five consecutive matches. Their goal difference remains positive, albeit slim, with 10 goals scored and 7 conceded across these fixtures. Interestingly, both teams have scored in 83% of United's recent matches, suggesting that while they are finding the net regularly, they are also vulnerable at the back.

Leicester

Leicester City's recent form has been inconsistent, with their last six matches yielding two wins, one draw, and three losses. The Foxes have been involved in several high-scoring affairs, notably their 5-2 defeat to Manchester United in the League Cup and a 4-2 loss to Arsenal in the Premier League. Despite their 15th position in the league table, Leicester have shown an ability to find the back of the net, scoring an average of 1.67 goals per game. However, their defensive frailties are evident, conceding 2.5 goals per game on average. The team's matches have been entertaining for neutrals, with both teams scoring in 83% of their recent fixtures and over 2.5 goals being scored in 67% of games. Leicester's sole clean sheet in this period came in a narrow 1-0 victory over Bournemouth, highlighting their struggles to keep opponents at bay.

Recent home/away form

Manchester United

Manchester United's recent home form has been a mixed bag, with the Red Devils showing both promise and inconsistency at Old Trafford. They have managed three wins, two draws, and one loss in their last six home matches across all competitions. The standout performance was undoubtedly their 7-0 thrashing of Barnsley in the League Cup, which significantly boosted their goal-scoring statistics. Another high-scoring affair was their 5-2 victory over Leicester in the same competition. Despite their impressive goal tally of 16 in these six games, averaging 2.67 goals per match, United have struggled to keep clean sheets, managing only one in this period. Their home form in the Premier League has been particularly concerning, with just one win from their last three league games at Old Trafford, contributing to their disappointing 13th position in the table.

Leicester

Leicester City's recent away form has been inconsistent, with a mixture of results across different competitions. The Foxes have managed only one win in their last six away matches, which came against Southampton in a high-scoring 3-2 Premier League encounter. Their defence has been particularly vulnerable, conceding 14 goals in these six games, including a 5-2 thrashing by Manchester United in the League Cup. Leicester have shown resilience in securing three draws during this period, including a goalless stalemate against lower-league Walsall. Notably, both teams have scored in 83% of these matches, with over 2.5 goals occurring in 67% of the games, suggesting Leicester's away fixtures tend to be entertaining affairs. Despite their struggles, the Foxes have consistently found the back of the net, scoring in five out of six away games, though their goal difference of -4 highlights their defensive frailties on the road.
