As Brendan Rodgers looks to arrest the slide of a squad in transition, the arrival of a Manchester United side finally showing signs of something like a resurgence may not be the most welcome sight on the opposite half of the pitch at the King Power Stadium.
Leicester City are yet to win in the 2022/23 Premier League and failed to capitalise against opponents who spent more than an hour down to 10 men in their 2-1 defeat at Chelsea on Saturday.
United were not entirely convincing in their 1-0 win at Southampton but the result was all that mattered as their run of seven away defeats ended and Erik ten Hag won his first game on the road as manager and his second match in a row following that 2-1 victory over Liverpool.
Can Leicester summon the result they need to lift the gloom, or will United make it three wins in three? Here’s how to watch, as well as team news and odds.

Leicester City vs. Man United predicted lineups
Midfielder James Maddison could return for Leicester after being ruled out of the defeat at Chelsea with a twinge.
Full-backs Ricardo Pereira (Achilles) and Ryan Bertrand (knee) are long-term absentees and Wesley Fofana is not being considered by Rodgers because he is anticipated to join Chelsea imminently.
Leicester predicted lineup (4-1-4-1): Ward (GK) — Castagne, Evans, Amartey, Justin — Soumare — Praet, Dewsbury-Hall, Maddison, Barnes — Vardy
Anthony Martial missed the trip to Southampton with an Achilles problem, but Ten Hag said he expected the forward to recover in time for their meeting with the Foxes.
Defensive midfielder Casemiro could be in line for his full debut after making his first appearance for the club when he came on as a late substitute at St Mary’s Stadium. New mega-signing Antony is unlikely to be registered in time to feature.
Man United predicted lineup (4-2-3-1): De Gea (GK) — Dalot, Varane, Martinez, Malacia — Casemiro, Eriksen — Sancho, Fernandes, Elanga — Rashford
Leicester City vs. Man United betting odds
United’s wins against Liverpool and Southampton are not enough to make them odds-on to beat the division’s bottom side.
Leicester are underdogs but are unbeaten in five against United. Their 4-2 victory over the Red Devils at the King Power Stadium in 2021/22 ensured they won this fixture on three consecutive occasions for the first time since 1901.
