Manchester United play Leicester City on Tuesday night (10:30 P.M IST). This game has
become a fun one to watch over the years since Leicester’s resurgence as a significant English premier league
force. They have shown that premier league top four is a priority for them, and they seemed to
be thoroughly in control last year to finish in the top four, but lost a fair few games in the
previous run-in of the season. Their fate was decided by Manchester United itself, when they
beat Leicester City at the King Power Stadium by two goals to nil in the final match week of the
season.
A similar story is unfolding for Leicester again. The final match weeks are upon us, and only a
few games are left to be played. They still need to give it their all to win all these games, and
accomplish the feat of finishing in the top four and qualifying for the respected Champions
League.
Standing in their way is the in-form Manchester United, who sit above them in the table and
have already qualified for next season’s champions league. But they won’t take anything or
anyone lightly as they still have a tiny chance at the English Premier League title, and they would do
everything in their hands to win. Leicester will be a challenging game for United, who are
playing their second game in two days, and are set to play three games in five days.
Both United and Leicester City would want to go for the win, and as both teams have some players
who have minor injuries, we can expect a string of changes. Both teams are also playing cup
finals this month. Leicester is playing Chelsea at the end of this week, in the FA cup final. United
is playing the Europa League final against Villareal on May 26 in Gdansk, Poland. These
matches can tend to be season-deciding for both of them, and it would surely be a riveting
game to watch out for.
