Eric ten Hag has been sacked as Manchester United head coach following the defeat to West Ham. He leaves the team in 14th place in the Premier League, with three draws in three Europa League matches and a rout of Barnsley in the League Cup. Manchester United have just one win in their last eight matches. The hosts are clearly not in top form.
Leicester began to cling to points in the championship and no longer look like a passable opponent. Steve Cooper’s team is one of two in the Premier League, who scored in each of the matches played. Except that in the League Cup, the Foxes have already had a game without goals. In the last round, Leicester were only able to score against Walsall in a penalty shootout.
Leicester have a good chance of success in this match, because the opponent is now not in the best shape and just changed the coach. Manchester United have enough losses and they are unlikely to play with the main squad. The Foxes may not be able to reach the next round, but they should create a lot of problems for the opponent and are unlikely to lose big.
