A preview of Sunday’s match and why Manchester United will find a victory.

A break in Premier League play for the FA Cup has made for a busy time in the English top fight, as clubs saw mid-week action ahead of weekend fixtures. Manchester United will look for more positive results Sunday at Leicester City after a 0-0 draw against Hull on Wednesday.

Wednesday’s match against the Tigers was full of frustration for manager Jose Mourinho, and the United boss was certainly not pleased with officials and the media following the encounter.

After several incidents on the side-lines, Mourinho was furious with calls that he felt should have gone United’s way.

The dropped points against Hull were a missed opportunity, as results throughout the league on Tuesday provided the Red Devils a chance to move within a point of fourth place. With Chelsea, Arsenal, Tottenham and Liverpool all missing out on a victory, United were disappointed to draw at home.

Their attention now turns to Sunday, as they visit the King Power Stadium to face Premier League title-holders Leicester City. The Foxes should definitely not be underestimated, but United will feel confident about finding maximum points on their travels.

We examine five key reasons why Manchester United will be able to defeat Leicester City this coming weekend.
