Manchester United will step onto the pitch for the first time following Erik ten Hag’s dismissal on Wednesday night as they host Leicester City at Old Trafford for an EFL Cup fourth-round match. Ruud Van Nistelrooy has taken on the role of interim manager. The Manchester United vs Leicester City will kick off at 19:45 UK Time.
While many will welcome Erik ten Hag’s dismissal from Manchester United with open arms, the club’s recent form makes it seem like Wednesday’s home Carabao Cup match against Leicester will be a real challenge.
United faced a setback due to a contentious late penalty at the London Stadium, and they require a strong performance in this match ahead of a significant weekend encounter with Chelsea. Five of their last eight matches have concluded in disappointing draws, indicating that their difficulties cannot be seen as a sudden occurrence, and the low odds on them overcoming Leicester hold little attraction.
Leicester were defeated 3-1 by East Midlands rivals Nottingham Forest on Friday, but their recent away performances have been promising. Steve Cooper’s team rallied from two goals behind to win 3-2 at Southampton, then were defeated by two injury-time goals against Arsenal after drawing level.
The Foxes may contribute to another high-scoring game, so support them on the double chance, a wager that wins if the game ends even. A 2-2 draw may attract correct-score bettors.
