Leicester City top picks and players to watch vs Manchester United Premier League 2022-23
Harvey Barnes: The English footballer was on the scoresheet for the Foxes in their last game and is again a player to watch out for. Barnes has scored 23 goals for Leicester City in the Premier League. He also contributed six goals and 10 assists for them in the Premier League last season.
Jamie Vardy: The 35-year-old veteran has had a prolific career with the Foxes but has struggled to get going in the ongoing campaign. However, he has plenty of fond memories of finding the back of the net against United and will want to repeat that for the sake of his struggling team.
Manchester United top picks and players to watch vs Leicester City Premier League 2022-23
Jadon Sancho: The English winger has scored once this season and will be a player to watch out for in the upcoming fixture. Widely regarded as one of the most talented young players going around, Sancho had an underwhelming Premier League season last time around and will be keen to set things right in the ongoing campaign. A big threat from out wide, Sancho will be one of United’s most potent attacking threats against Leicester.
Marcus Rashford: The 24-year-old was on the scoresheet for Manchester United in their first win of the season against Liverpool. Rashford scored only four goals in the Premier League last season but has looked sharper so far in the ongoing campaign and will be eager to kick on against Leicester. He has scored away against the Foxes before and will be eager to repeat that feat.
Leicester City vs Manchester United League 2022-23 prediction
