The FA Cup fourth-round match between Manchester United and Leicester City is set to deliver an exciting battle at Old Trafford. Manchester United, unbeaten in their last five home matches, have demonstrated a blend of tactical discipline and attacking flair. Bruno Fernandes, with his creativity and precision, has been instrumental in unlocking defenses, while Marcus Rashford’s pace and clinical finishing continue to pose a significant threat to opponents.

On the other hand, Leicester City, despite an impressive 6-2 victory over QPR in the previous round, have struggled to maintain consistency in the Premier League. Jamie Vardy, though aging, remains a danger on the counter-attack, and James Maddison’s vision can create opportunities. However, their defensive vulnerabilities are a major concern, having conceded an average of 1.8 goals per game in their last five outings.

Statistically, Manchester United are favorites, boasting a 67% chance of winning, compared to Leicester City’s 18%, with a 15% probability of a draw. United’s expected goals (xG) of 2.4 highlights their attacking efficiency, while Leicester’s xG of 1.1 reflects their over-reliance on individual brilliance.

Given United’s form and home advantage, a victory for Manchester United  is the most plausible outcome.
