Leicester City vs Manchester United: FA Cup prediction, h2h, TV channel, live stream, team news, latest odds

Leicester City and Manchester United face off this afternoon in an intriguing FA Cup quarter-final clash.

With finishing in the Premier League top four likely of bigger importance to both sides, it will be interesting to see what team selections managers Brendan Rodgers and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer opt for - though both managers would dearly love to lift a cup.

With Chelsea and Manchester City also still in the competition, the winner will hope to avoid both for a far easier crack at a place in the final.

The match will be held behind closed doors at the King Power Stadium.

Prediction: Leicester 1-2 Man United

Leicester looked backed to their normal selves last time out, scoring five past Sheffield United, but I think Brendan Rodgers will make changes to give his already depleted squad a rest with the top four their main priority.

The same can be said for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, but I feel United have the superior quality in the visitors’ squad will shine through.
