Leicester 0-3 Manchester United

Current streaks

Recent form

Leicester

Leicester City are currently enduring a torrid run of form, finding themselves in 19th position in the Premier League table. The Foxes have lost their last six matches across all competitions, failing to secure a single point during this period. Their goal-scoring woes are particularly concerning, having netted just once in their last six outings, averaging a mere 0.17 goals per game. Defensively, Leicester have been equally poor, conceding 15 goals in these matches at an alarming rate of 2.5 per game. The 4-0 defeats to both Brentford and Everton stand out as particularly heavy losses. Leicester have not kept a clean sheet in their last 24 games, highlighting their defensive frailties. With only 17 points from 28 games, the East Midlands club are in serious danger of relegation unless they can quickly arrest this dire run of form.

Manchester United

Manchester United's recent form has been characterised by a lack of decisive results, with the Red Devils currently on a run of four consecutive draws across all competitions. Their last six matches have seen them win just once, a narrow 3-2 victory over Ipswich Town in the Premier League, which stands out as the highest-scoring game in this period. United have struggled to keep clean sheets, failing to do so in their last eight matches, whilst consistently finding the back of the net themselves. The team's goal difference of zero in their last six games, scoring and conceding 1.33 goals per match on average, reflects their current mid-table position of 14th in the league. Despite their underwhelming league standing, United have shown resilience by avoiding defeat in their last five outings, suggesting a degree of stability amidst their inconsistent performances.

Recent home/away form

Leicester

Leicester City's recent home form has been dismal, with the Foxes enduring a concerning run of four consecutive Premier League defeats at the King Power Stadium. The team have failed to score in their last five league matches at home, conceding 12 goals in the process. Their sole victory in this stretch came in a high-scoring FA Cup encounter against Queens Park Rangers, where they netted an impressive six goals. This 6-2 victory stands out as an anomaly in an otherwise goal-shy period for Leicester. Their defensive frailties are evident, having kept no clean sheets in their last six home games and conceding an average of 2.33 goals per match. The stark contrast between their cup performance and league form highlights the team's inconsistency and struggle to translate cup success into Premier League points.

Manchester United

Manchester United's recent away form shows a mixed bag of results, with the Red Devils struggling to secure consistent victories on the road. In their last six away matches, United have managed two wins, three draws, and one loss, demonstrating a certain resilience but lacking the cutting edge to dominate away fixtures. Defensively, they've been relatively solid, conceding just 0.83 goals per game and keeping two clean sheets. However, their attacking output has been somewhat muted, scoring only 1.17 goals per game. Notably, 83% of these matches have seen under 2.5 goals, suggesting a trend towards low-scoring affairs when United play away from home. The team's ability to grind out results is evident in their draw against Arsenal in the FA Cup and their recent Europa League stalemate with Real Sociedad, but their league position of 14th indicates that converting these draws into wins remains a significant challenge for the Manchester outfit.
