Leicester and Manchester United are set to clash in the English Premier League at King Power Stadium this Sunday, with the visitors already winning all three of their previous meetings this season. This match sees Ruud van Nistelrooy facing his former club after a challenging period for Leicester.
Current Form
Leicester, struggling back in the EPL, currently sits in the relegation zone, being 19th and six points away from safety after a series of poor performances. They lack offensive firepower, having scored the fewest goals in the league, and a failure to score at home would mark their seventh consecutive match without a goal.
Meanwhile, Manchester United sits at 14th place, dealing with their own issues after a rocky start to the season. Despite winning the FA Cup last year, the club is looking for a path back to European competition, which currently lies in the UEFA Europa League.
