It’s Boxing day and as tradition goes we have a full day of games in the English Premier League.The day starts off at lunchtime in England with the Foxes hosting the Red Devils in what promises to be an entertaining fixture with the 2nd and 3rd placed teams facing each other.
Leicester
Leicester are going into this match after a convincing away win against Tottenham.Brendan Rodgers men got the result they wanted after displaying great football and dealt very well with the Spurs tough defence.This win took the Foxes to 2nd palace in the league table.Leicester have won 3 of their last 7 games at home this season and they have scored in 4 of their last 5 matches .They haven’t beaten United in eleven matches but they will be eager to score goals in this match and claim the 3 pts needed to put more pressure on champions and league leaders Liverpool.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer must be very happy with his team’s form lately.The Red Devils haven’t lost in their last 7 matches scoring 16 goals in those games.Their scoring average is more than 2 goals per game and they come to King Power stadium with the intention of using all their attacking powers to find the opponents net and be on the winning side.Marcus Rashford,Anthony Martial and Edson Cavani form a prolific scoring options for United and with Paul Pogba back in form behind them in midfield,we expect goals to be scored by this United side.
Verdict
With both teams in their latest matches we think their will be over 2.5 goals scored in this match.
Over 2.5 goals
