Leicester v Man United Betting Tips: Can Puel’s men outfox Solskjaer?

Betting preview and odds for Premier League

Leicester City will be looking to upset the odds for the second time in five days when they welcome Manchester United to the King Power Stadium this afternoon.

The Foxes battled to an unlikely draw against Liverpool on Wednesday night. Can they do the same – or better – against Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s rejuvenated Red Devils?

You can catch the action live on BT Sport 1 from 5:30pm, but first, check out our preview.

Head-to-Head

Claude Puel’s men are in the habit of taking points off the big teams this term. But they’ll need to go some to overturn a rotten recent record against United. The Foxes have won just once against the Red Devils since 1998 – a 5-3 home success in September 2014.

A Jose Mourinho-led United won 2-1 at Old Trafford last season, while a late leveller from man-of-the-moment Harry Maguire gave Leicester a 2-2 draw at the King Power.

Likely XIs

The Foxes have no new injury worries but could hand a start to new arrival from Monaco, Youri Tielemans. The 21-year-old joined the club on-loan on deadline day and may start alongside Wilfred Ndidi and Nampalys Mendy in a midfield three.

That would allow Puel to revert to a front three, with Marc Albrighton and James Maddison lining up alongside Jamie Vardy.

Solskjaer is the manager more likely to make changes, with Anthony Martial and Jesse Lingard primed for recalls. That could force Romelu Lukaku and Juan Mata to drop out, while Ander Herrera is poised to start in place of Andreas Pereira. Paul Pogba is touch-and-go through injury.
