Four of Leicester’s last five away games have featured at least three goals.
Manchester United have won one of their last eight games.
Both teams have scored in four of United’s last five matches.
Ten Hag’s departure may not hail immediate recovery
Recent history suggests that we may not witness an immediate recovery from Manchester United following Erik ten Hag’s dismissal and while the Dutchman’s departure will be received joyously in many quarters, Wednesday’s home Carabao Cup clash with Leicester looks a tricky one.
United were sunk by a controversial late penalty at the London Stadium and they need a big performance in this clash before a big weekend showdown with Chelsea.
Five of their last eight matches have ended in underwhelming draws, so their struggles can hardly be regarded as an overnight development and the short prices about them getting the better of Leicester make no appeal whatsoever.
Foxes showing plenty of fight on the road
The Foxes also had a disappointing weekend as they were beaten 3-1 by East Midlands rivals Nottingham Forest on Friday, but some of their recent away performances have been at least encouraging.
Steve Cooper’s side showed great spirit to come back from two goals down to claim a 3-2 win at Southampton and they were sunk by two injury-time goals at Arsenal after battling their way back from a similar position to draw level.
We could see another high-scoring game this time and the Foxes are capable of playing their part, so back them on the double chance, a bet that will win if the game finishes level, with a 2-2 draw perhaps of interest to those looking for a correct-score selection.
Predictions:Leicester City Double Chance (Win or Draw) Draw 2-2
