Leicester City Analysis
The last season was a challenging one for the Leicester City team as they finished their EPL schedule with 52 points, winning 14 games, losing 14, and drawing 10.
They ended 8th in the Premier League standings, which is still okay for an average team. Still, they must improve their gameplay to participate in big competitions like the UEFA Champions League.
Leicester at Preseason Games
They also played some pre-season games, and their performance was good enough to start a new season.
They played with different teams from different leagues, which is how pre-season games are; they played six matches, in which they won four, lost one, and drew one. Their first pre-season game was against a team from the England National League, Notts County.
They lost the game to them in a 1-2 scoreline. During the game, Leicester took the lead from Harvey Barnes in the 31st minute.
The away team equalized in the 41st minute to end halftime on a 1-1 draw. But unfortunately for the Leicester team, they could not hold the draw, and the goal from Aden Baldwin made them lose the match.
Their four wins were against:
- Hull City
- Derby County
- Preston North End
- Sevilla
The game with Sevilla was challenging for the Leicester team, but with Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall’s goal, they won the match on a 1-0 victory.
50% of Leicester Performance Is Over
So judging from their pre-season, we can see their performance is over 50%, but this team is yet to win a match in the 2022/2023 EPL season.
They have played four matches this season, lost three, and drew one. They are currently sitting in the last position on the English Premier League table.
It already shows that the season is becoming challenging for this team as they could not beat Chelsea, who played with ten men over the weekend, but the season is still fresh, so let’s see what they will do in their next match.
Manchester United
Manchester United has been one of the top teams in the English premier league history. Still, their performance has dropped since the departure of the great Sir Alex Ferguson.
They finish the 2021/2022 season in 6th position, winning 16 matches, losing 12, and drawing 10. They will be in the UEFA Europa League alongside the Arsenal team this season.
Manchester United at Preseason Games
They are also among the teams that played pre-season games before the season started, and their performance hasn’t been good enough as they won just three matches, lost one and drew two.
One of the matches was against Brighton & Hove Albion, where they played second fiddle throughout the tie.
In their second game, they lost to Brentford in a four-goal humiliation. The team lost 4-0, with all the goals coming in the first half.
Within the first 20 minutes, they were already 2-0 down, and in the 35th minute, it was already 4-0, and as a result, the game had ended for the Red Devils even before the start of the second half.
They’ve bounced back since that 4-0 loss against Brentford as they’ve ground out wins against Liverpool and Southampton.
Manchester Need to Improve
Although the wins weren’t pretty, they would take what they could get and push for better in the coming games. As they face Leceister on Thursday, we expect an exciting game from Ten Hag’s men.
Leicester City vs. Manchester United Betting Pick and Prediction
Our Leicester City vs. Manchester United Odds, Picks and Predictions wouldn’t be so straightforward because this season’s EPL has proven unpredictable.

In that case, our Premier League predictions for this tie are 12-14 corners, as we expect both sides to use the flanks throughout the game.
