Man United have been in fine form in the Premier League over the past couple of weeks but their might will be tested once again as they take on Leicester City at the King Power Stadium.
United have won their last 10 away matches in the league this season but according to pundit Michael Owen, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s men are likely to drop points on Boxing Day.
He wrote for BetVictor: “It’s fair to say that Manchester United’s season has come alive in recent weeks.
“The Red Devils are up to 3rd and if they win their game in hand, they’ll go 2nd. It’s been quite the turnaround for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s men and they should arrive here full of confidence, aiming for an 11th win in a row on the road in the Premier League.
“Leicester put their home defeat to Everton behind them with a fantastic away result at Tottenham, and for all they have been a bit inconsistent this season, they will be delighted with their 2nd place in the table just now.
“This one could be tight.
“I don’t think there is much between the sides and I reckon a draw could be the outcome with both sides scoring.”
Man United have been nearly unstoppable away from home so this season and they proved that once again in midweek when they beat Everton in the EFL Cup.
Leicester though could be a completely different ball game as they go into this game at the back of a superb 2-0 win over Spurs last weekend.
Rodgers’ men have what it takes to stop Man United from picking up a win but we doubt if the Foxes will be able to stop the Red Devils – especially if they can’t find an answer to those blistering counter-attacks.
