Match Preview | |
MU will visit Leicester's headquarters at the King Power Stadium to play the 8th match week of the Premier League 2021/22, Saturday (16/10/2021) at 7:30 p.m. Indian time.
MU is currently still perched in the fourth position in the standings with a collection of 14 points from 7 matches played.
Ahead of this match itself, MU is in a less convincing condition. In their last match before the international break, MU was only able to pick 1 point in front of the public itself after being held to a 1-1 draw by Everton.
With that result, MU was recorded as only able to carve 1 win in its last 4 matches in all competitions (W1 D1 L2). Obviously, it's not a good record to face a team like Leicester.
However, United is a bit lucky because Leicester has also been in bad shape lately.
Leicester is without a win even from their last 3 matches (W0 D2 L1). In the last match before the international break, Leicester was only able to pick 1 point after being held to a draw by Crystal Palace in the English Premier League. In fact, in that match, Leicester was able to lead by 2 goals first through Kelechi Ihenacho and Jamie Vardy.
With the draw against Palace, Leicester is now in the thirteenth position in the standings with a score of 8 points.
In the previous meeting in the English Premier League last season, Manchester United was defeated by Leicester at Old Trafford with a score of 1-2. Luke Thomas opened Leicester's lead in the 10th minute. However, only 5 minutes later MU was able to equalize through Mason Greenwood's goal. However, Leicester was finally able to lock the win through Caglar Soyuncu's goal in the 66th minute.
