All eyes will be on Old Trafford from two o’clock as Manchester United endeavour to prevent Leicester City from securing the title. The Red Devils have won four of their previous five matches and still harbour aspirations of snatching a top-four berth, while the Foxes require a solitary victory in their remaining trio of fixtures to claim the crown.
Man United were far from a dominant attacking force during their last four outings, ranking joint-tenth for goals (four), joint-fourth-bottom for attempts (44) and fifth-bottom for shots inside the box. That being said, Louis van Gaal’s outfit chart top for clean sheets (12) and bottom for goals conceded (seven) in home encounters, so a solitary strike could well be enough to earn their fourth 1-0 win in five showdowns at Old Trafford.
Aside from notching nine goals in their previous four match-ups, Leicester also tallied five more big chances (16) than any other team. Investors in Man United’s rearguard might be concerned that only Arsenal have amassed more goals in road clashes than Claudio Ranieri’s troupe (32 to 31), while no team has racked up more big chances (46). The Red Devils certainly have their work cut out trying to breach a defence that places bottom for goals conceded (eight) since Gameweek 19.
