Manchester United has a major advantage statistically scoring ten more goals and allowing 17 fewer than Leicester City. Manchester United’s passing and possession numbers are far superior to Leicester City. Leicester City just isn’t the same team as the squad who surprisingly won the Premier League last year. Leicester City have scored just seven goals in their last ten matches whereas Manchester United have 20 goals in that span. With Leicester City struggling both attacking and defensively look for Manchester United to win big on the road.
