Summary:
Manchester United hasn’t quite lived up to their potential after their huge spending during the transfer window. Leicester City has also started out of the gates slow after placing atop the EPL Table last season. All of the stats favor Manchester United in this one and they are playing at home. Manchester United has already beaten Leicester City once this season and I expect the same result on Saturday.
