Turning their attention back to Premier League duties on Sunday afternoon, Manchester United will travel to the King Power when they meet a struggling Leicester.
Extending on their Europa League adventure and punching their quarter-final ticket in midweek as they claimed a thumping 4-1 victory against Real Sociedad, the Red Devils will be desperately seeking a repeat performance here.
In the midst of what has quickly become a public Premier League crisis, Leicester face an almighty uphill battle in the race to keep hold of the top-flight status and avoid an immediate Championship return.
With all eyes falling on the King Power this season, we have taken a look at some of the most eye-catching Leicester City vs Manchester United Bet Builder Tips.
United smelling a golden opportunity
While Manchester United might be enduring what has been a record-breaking Premier League rut this season, Ruben Amorim’s men should take a string of positives away from a stellar European performance in midweek.
Storming their way to a Europa League quarter-final ticket on Thursday night as they stormed their way to a 4-1 romp against Sociedad, that display at Old Trafford was arguably the best performance since Amorim’s arrival back in November.
Although the Red Devils might still find themselves firmly sat in the bottom-half of the Premier League table, they will be excited by a dominant record against Sunday’s hosts.
Landing a controversial 2-1 victory when they welcomed Leicester to Old Trafford for an FA Cup tie back on February 7th, United have won all of their previous five consecutive showdowns against the Foxes by an aggregate score of 14-3.
Despite notching just a single Premier League win on their travels since the middle of December, United should be relishing a trip to the King Power.

Fernandes underlines his status as United’s hero
While Manchester United might have endured a public crisis this season as they faced a huge amount of scrutiny, their talismanic skipper has been the only positive note around Old Trafford.
Notching what was a famous Europa League hat-trick against Real Sociedad on Thursday night and dragging United over the finishing line, Bruno Fernandes has continued to shine since Amorim’s arrival.
Clearly relishing his role as United’s leading man, the Portuguese international has certainly taken the bull by the horns since opening the New Year.
Getting March underway with a consolation FA Cup strike against Fulham, the former Sporting Lisbon starlet has now registered six goals in as many appearances across all competitions and has only further underlined his importance to Amorim’s squad.
Likewise, notching nine goals across all fronts so far this calendar year, Fernandes also holds a stellar individual record against the Foxes. In fact, United’s attacking talisman has notched three goals in as many showdowns against Sunday’s hosts.

Time is ticking away for the Foxes
Enduring what has become a woeful Premier League rut since Ruud van Nistelrooy’s arrival back in December, Leicester appear to be limping their way to an immediate Championship return without much of a fight.
Getting this weekend’s fixtures underway sat six points adrift of safety, the Foxes have rightfully come under a huge amount of scrutiny following what has been an infamous run.
Last seen falling to a 1-0 defeat away at Chelsea, the former Manchester United interim boss has seen his squad lose all of their previous six consecutive meetings against Premier League opposition across all competitions.
In fact, aside from a shock second-half comeback away at Tottenham on January 26th, Leicester have remarkably lost all of their other 13 meetings against top-flight opposition.
It should also be noted, the leading relegation candidates have lost all of their last six straight Premier League showdowns at the King Power by an aggregate score of 15-0.
