Manchester United will face Leicester City at Old Trafford on Saturday, April 2 at 10:00 pm (IST) in the continuing English Premier League season. Manchester United is in sixth place and chasing fourth, while Leicester won their last game against Brentford and will look to continue their winning streak.
Manchester United will play Leicester City at Old Trafford on Saturday in the Premier League as part of their quest to finish in the top four. The Red Devils are playing for the first time since Atletico Madrid eliminated them from the UEFA Champions League. In the current season, they have nothing to play for except a top-four finish, which appears to be a tall order at the moment. United are four points behind Arsenal and have one less game in hand. However, they still have time to make a last-ditch attempt at a top-four finish. They’ll need a run of games to do so, and they’ll most likely start against the Foxes.
On international duty, Edison Cavani sustained an injury. Apart from that, Ralf Ragnick has no injury or suspension issues heading into the encounter.
Leicester City is now tenth in the Premier League table, having failed to live up to expectations this season. The Foxes eked out a 2-1 win over Brentford in their previous match and will need to elevate their game in this one. They appear to have a slim chance of qualifying for the Europa Conference League, but they will give it everything in the remaining games.
It’s unclear whether Jamie Vardy will be able to play in the game. Marc Albrighton has a groin problem, and it’s unclear whether he’ll be ready to play. Long-term absentees include Danny Ward, Ryan Bertrand, and Wilfred Ndidi.
