Erik ten Hag is no longer Manchester United’s head coach! After falling to 14th place in the English Premier League, the Dutch manager was sacked and now the Red Devils will be led by interim head coach Ruud Van Nistelrooy.
The Red Devils also had a very bad start in the UEFA Europa League, which is why winning the EFL Cup has become their top priority. The thing is, winning the domestic side-B tournament is Leicester City’s top priority as well. In other words, you can expect a good fight at the Theatre of Dreams.

Top 2 Picks for Manchester United vs Leicester City
1. Bet on Goals
Yes, Manchester United and Leicester City have each had a rocky start to the season, but if there’s something both teams have, it’s talent in the attacking unit.
Despite having won only three of their last 10 games in all competitions, the Red Devils scored in seven of those matches. That includes the 7-0 victory over Barnsley in the previous round of the EFL Cup, in which three different players scored a brace.
Alejandro Garnacho and Christian Eriksen have scored four goals each in all competitions, but if I were you, I would include Garnacho in my soccer prop picks as anytime goalscorer. The Argentinian is one the best wingers in the business and I expect Van Nistelrooy to implement a bold and brave new system.
As for Leicester City, the Foxes’ attacking unit is led by Jamie Vardy, one of the best strikers in the last decade. Vardy started playing for Leicester City in the 2012-13 season and has scored 15+ goals in nine seasons.
Regarding the EFL Cup, the Foxes began the journey with a 4-0 victory over Tranmere Rovers. Most recently, they suffered much more than expected against Walsall but won 3-0 on penalties.
With the EFL Cup lines set at -115 for over 3 goals, the main reason for me to expect a high-scoring affair is that both sides are in a must-win situation. Also, Van Nistelrooy needs to send a strong message in his first game as the boss while this is the perfect opportunity for Leicester City to win at Old Trafford for the first time in almost five years.
Bet on Manchester United vs Leicester City Game Total Over 3 Goals (-115)
2. Bet on a Draw
In such a competitive environment, things don’t change overnight. Manchester United has had troubles since Alex Ferguson left while Leicester City has had more troubles than expected to re-adapt to the Premier League.

Most recently, the Red Devils lost 2-1 to West Ham United. Jarrod Bowen scored the winner in the 92th minute. You must stay focused until the fat lady sings!
Things have been a bit better when playing at home, where the Red Devils won their last contest, 2-1 over Brentford. So far, they’re 3-2-1 when playing at the Theatre of Dreams. Well, in Ten Hag’s case, the Theatre of Nightmares.
I expect a good fight from Leicester City because the Foxes are 2-1-2 when playing on the road. Most recently, they overcame a two-goal deficit to defeat Southampton 3-2. Jordan Ayew scored the winner in the 98th minute.
Before that, the Foxes lost 4-2 to Arsena. Not so fast, though. The first half finished 2-0 in favor of the Gunners, but the Foxes managed to even things in the 63rd minute. Everything fell apart in stoppage time since Arsenal scored twice after the 90th minute.
My final soccer prediction for this crucial match – crucial because both are in a must-win situation – is a 2-2 draw.
Bet on Manchester United vs Leicester City – Draw (+430)
