Leicester host Manchester United in the Premier League’s late kick off with the Foxes hoping to end a terrible run of form.
Ruud van Nistelrooy’s men have lost 11 of their last 12 league games with their only victory in that run coming against Tottenham at the end of January. They sit 19th in the table and are nine points away from safety with time running out to avoid an immediate drop back into the Championship.
Manchester United, meanwhile, are 15th with just one league win from their last five games. But, they are on a three-game unbeaten run in the league and enter the game on the back of securing a spot in the Europa League quarter-finals.
United have beaten Leicester three times already this season and Ruben Amorim’s men will be confident of doing so again.

19:29GOAL! Leicester 0-1 Man Utd
It’s brilliant from Bruno Fernandes. He receives the ball in the right side of the pitch and laces a threaded pass in behind the defence.
Rasmus Hojlund is the willing runner and takes up the ball before dribbling into the box.
His shot is angled across goal and fizzes into the far bottom corner.
His goal drought is over!
Leicester City vs Manchester United
21:05The full-time whistle sounds to put Leicester City out of their misery, as they suffer a seventh straight home defeat without scoring and go down 3-0 to Manchester United at the King Power Stadium. The Red Devils always looked likely to add to their first-half advantage and produced 0.78 xG with close efforts from Garnacho, who saw a goal ruled out for a fractional offside before pouncing with a first-time finish to make it 2-0. Fernandes, who had set up both of United's strikes, then got in on the act with a well-placed strike in the last minute of normal time, making it 3-0 to put the result beyond doubt. Leicester rarely looked like scoring, but did manage to out-produce United with 1.17 xG and De Ligt blocked a close-range shot from Buonanotte before a late flurry saw Winks and Vardy both test Onana in injury time. But Leicester weren't able to find the net and become the first English side to ever lose seven straight without a goal at home; a seventh straight defeat which leaves them second-bottom and nine points away from safety. The Red Devils, meanwhile, climb up to 13th, extending their unbeaten streak to four games and matching their best run of a very underwhelming season.

Leicester City vs Manchester United
20:39Leicester have lost each of their last six Premier League home games by an aggregate score of 15-0. No team in English top-flight history has ever lost seven in a row without scoring, but the Foxes are roughly 10 minutes away from achieving that unwanted feat.

20:35BLOCKED!!! De Ligt keeps Leicester at bay!!! Vardy overpowers Lindelof to shrug him off a challenge and burst clear into the box. Rather than shooting, he squares for Buonanotte, but the substitute's first-time effort is blocked by a sliding De Ligt!

Ayden Heaven stretchered off in Manchester United’s clash with Leicester
20:23Ruben Amorim faces more injury problems as standout centre back Ayden Heaven was stretchered off the pitch during Manchester United’s Premier League clash with Leicester City.
Early on in the second half, Heaven lunged to clear a squared pass into the penalty area from Jamie Vardy and collided with Patson Daka near the far post.

20:20El Khannouss cuts inside from the left and threads a pass through for Vardy in the box, but neither he nor a potentially impeded Daka can get there as Onana dives on the loose ball.
Leicester City vs Manchester United
20:19Leicester have conceded 999 goals in their 678 and a half Premier League games. They would be the 12th side to concede 1,000 in the competition, and first to do so in fewer than 700 games, but they've been spared that fate for now by the linesman's flag.
Leicester City vs Manchester United
20:17BALL IN THE NET!!! A retrospective offside denies United a second!! Possession is overturned on halfway and Hojlund comes forward with the ball before picking out Garnacho to his right. After the Argentine cuts inside to fire into the far corner with his left foot, the linesman puts up his flag; cue a VAR review which clarifies that Garnacho was beyond the last man and it remains 1-0!
Leicester City vs Manchester United
20:14Eriksen lines up a shot some 30 yards from goal and pulls the trigger, but it's a poorly-struck effort which Hermansen is easily able to hold.
Leicester City vs Manchester United
20:13BLOCKED!! Soumare drives his way through midfield again and is encouraged to shoot by the home crowd, but refrains from doing so at the best opportunity and sees his effort blocked by Lindelof!
Leicester City vs Manchester United
20:11A Collyer back-pass is misjudged by Onana with Vardy applying pressure, as the United goalkeeper skews a woeful clearance out for a throw-in, level with where he met the ball.
Leicester City vs Manchester United
20:09Heaven remains down next to Onana's net and has barely moved as the stretcher comes out, and it's an awful way for the 18-year-old's first Premier League start to end as Toby Collyer prepares to come on.

Leicester City vs Manchester United
19:58Despite Leicester trailing, El Khannouss has been arguably their brightest spark so far, with one shot blocked from three touches in the box and six final-third passes completed. He's won three of his four duels thus far, including two from two in the air, and has put in a tackle and interception apiece; being booked for that late lunge on Mazraoui midway through the first 45 minutes.
Leicester City vs Manchester United
19:54The half-time whistle goes in the East Midlands, with Manchester United deservedly leading 1-0 against the hosts Leicester. The Foxes began brightly and Vardy tested Onana early on, with 0.52 xG produced so far via further efforts from Daka and El Khannouss towards the end of the half. Between those two spells though, it's been all United, who've generated 0.41 xG and saw Eriksen hit the post with a sublime strike before Fernandes releases Hojlund to run in behind and put the visitors 1-0 up. The Dane has netted his first league goal since early December, ending a barren run of 13 matches and putting the Red Devils in control of the scoreboard heading into the second half.

19:44Eriksen's free-kick into the area from the left flank is headed out to Fernandes on the edge of the box, but he can only skew a half-volley high and wide of the target!
Leicester City vs Manchester United
19:43Bruno Fernandes has now been involved in 29 goals in all competitions for Manchester United this season with 15 goals and 14 assists; only registering more goal involvements across a single season in 2020-21, with 46.
Leicester City vs Manchester United
19:42OVER!!!! Soumare drives through midfield to spark a Foxes break and spreads the ball wide to Kristiansen. He crosses for an arriving Ndidi at the far post, but the Nigerian's volley deflects off Ugarte and sails behind for a corner!
Leicester City vs Manchester United
19:40Daka gets around the outside of Heaven and drills a low cross into the middle, but Lindelof's there to cut it out for United before anyone in blue can get there.

19:38The visitors look to break from a cleared Leicester corner as Mazraoui and Eriksen float successive balls forward, but Justin gets there ahead of Hojlund to deal with the threat on halfway.

19:29Ndidi gets to the byline after being played in behind by Justin and cuts the ball back to Daka, but he's blocked off by Heaven and can't get a shot away as the ball rolls behind for a goal-kick.
Leicester City vs Manchester United
19:28United have already beaten Leicester three times in all competitions this season – they’ve beaten three sides four times in the same campaign before (Sheffield Wednesday 1993-94, Chelsea 2010-11, Nottingham Forest 2022-23), while the only team Leicester have lost to four times in a season is West Bromwich Albion, back in 1980-81.
Leicester City vs Manchester United
19:26OFF THE UPRIGHT!!! Eriksen and Fernandes play a one-two from the United corner taken short, and the Dane lets rip with a beauty of a first-time strike which beats Hermansen all ends up before clattering back off the far post!
Leicester City vs Manchester United
19:25CHANCE!!! Hojlund's cross from the left is knocked down and falls for Fernandes, who sees a half-volley blocked by Soumare. United recover possession on the right and Mazraoui clips a teasing ball back across the face of goal, which is steered behind for a corner by Justin!
Leicester City vs Manchester United
19:23Thomas fires the Foxes' free-kick into the middle as Ndidi goes up for it, but the flag is correctly raised to mark him offside after De Ligt deals with the danger.
Leicester City vs Manchester United
19:23Daka gets to a 50-50 ball just ahead of Lindelof and beats him to it, but the Zambian is then caught with a high boot which results in a free-kick going against the Red Devils.
Leicester City vs Manchester United
19:22SAVED!!! United's first corner is delivered by Eriksen and headed out by the hosts as far as Garnacho, who brings the ball down and drills a low, 20-yard strike through the crowd, straight into Hermansen's gloves!
Leicester City vs Manchester United
19:20Onana comes right to the edge of his box and then out of it to deal with a ball over the top, but does so without telling Lindelof – who had Vardy all over him – and the Swede gives him an earful.
Leicester City vs Manchester United
19:18Leicester have lost 12 of their last 13 Premier League games, including their last five without scoring a single goal. Only four teams have lost more consecutively in a single campaign without scoring – Ipswich Town (seven between February-April 1995), Everton (six between August-October 2005), Crystal Palace (seven between August-September 2017) and Norwich City (six in December and January 2021-22).
Leicester City vs Manchester United
19:15Fernandes' cross from the right is flicked away by Faes but only comes to Dalot at the far post, but his cutback to an arriving Eriksen is underhit and Leicester are able to clear their lines!
Leicester City vs Manchester United
19:12Ugarte has another go after being teed up by Eriksen 25 yards from goal, but this effort ends up flying even further away from the target as the home crowd jeers!
Leicester City vs Manchester United
19:11Ugarte recovers possession on the edge of Leicester's box and has a go from a tight angle, but blazes well over the top and doesn't trouble Hermansen.

19:05At 18 years and 175 days, Ayden Heaven is the youngest player to make their first start for Manchester United in the Premier League since his team-mate Garnacho against Aston Villa in November 2022, at 18 years and 128 days.

19:03Dalot hurls a long throw into the Leicester box and the ball sits up for Hojlund, who sends a half-volley towards Hermansen's net with his back to goal and puts it just wide.

19:02Manchester United captain Fernandes kicks the game off, and we're up and running at the King Power!

19:01Unsurprisingly, it’s the visitors who are being heavily favoured to win this one in our live probability tracker, sitting on a 50.1% chance of victory compared to Leicester’s 24.9% as the two sides head out onto the pitch, and the Foxes faithful will hope that a first home win since early December is on the cards.
Leicester City vs Manchester United
18:56Ruben Amorim, meanwhile, is a key proponent of using a back three and makes three changes from United’s 4-1 win over Real Sociedad on Thursday, with Casemiro and Joshua Zirkzee benched and Patrick Dorgu suspended. In come Manuel Ugarte, Christian Eriksen and Victor Lindelof; the latter making his 186th Premier League appearance in red.
Leicester City vs Manchester United
18:51Leicester’s 1-0 defeat at Chelsea last time out was their fifth on the spin, but Van Nistelrooy has named an unchanged side for this clash and continues with a new-look back three of Wout Faes, Conor Coady and Luke Thomas in the Foxes’ defence.

Leicester City vs Manchester United
18:41Leicester, meanwhile, are firmly lodged in the relegation places and sit second-bottom of the Premier League table, a whopping nine points from safety after five losses on the bounce without scoring a single goal. Ruud van Nistelrooy’s move from the Old Trafford dugout hasn’t yielded an uptick in results whatsoever, and anything other than a victory could all-but seal their fate.
Leicester City vs Manchester United
18:36The Red Devils may still be mired in lowly mid-table and come into this game sat 15th, but Ruben Amorim’s side appear to be over the worst of their dismal form and are unbeaten in their last three league games, drawing 1-1 with Arsenal after a 3-2 win over Ipswich, and progressing to the Europa League quarter-finals with a 4-1 victory over Real Sociedad in midweek.
