(Odds courtesy of DraftKings Sportsbook)
Leicester City vs. Manchester United
The weekend wraps up with an intriguing clash between Leicester City and Manchester United. The Foxes are currently below the relegation line, sitting in 19th place with a record of 3-8-17. They welcome 14th-place Manchester United (9-7-12, 34 points). This match gets underway at 3:00 p.m. ET from King Power Stadium in Leicester.
In a similar line of thinking to the Ipswich/Forest game, I'm almost always going to fade a relegation-bound team at even-money when given the chance. Even though United hasn't been playing great soccer this season, they should manage to collect three points here.
Interestingly, this will be the fourth meeting between these teams this year. Manchester United is 3-0-0 in the prior games. They won 5-2 at home in the Carabao Cup on October 30th, 3-0 at home in the Premier League on November 10th and 2-1 at home in the FA Cup on February 7th.
Additionally, Manchester United has seen some success recently. They managed to pull out a 1-1 draw against Arsenal last weekend before demolishing Real Sociedad 4-1 in the Europa League during the midweek slate. They'll be looking to score on a Leicester defense ranked 19th in goals conceded (62) and 18th in expected goals against (52.5). Give me Manchester United to win this road match outright.
Bet: Manchester United Moneyline (-115)
