Here is the Man United vs Leicester City preview. It features key EFL Cup information such as team news, predicted lineups & how to watch on TV.
Leicester City will play their first game since losing an East Midlands derby against Nottingham Forest last week. Unfortunately for Steve Cooper, it doesn't get any easier.
Leicester will travel to Old Trafford for Wednesday evening's EFL Cup tie against Manchester United. It is the Round of 16 of the competition, so an excellent opportunity for Leicester to progress.
Last season, Leicester only reached the third round of the competition. Therefore, they have already made progress compared to Enzo Maresca's last season in charge of the Foxes.
Alas, here is the Man United vs Leicester City preview.

Man United team news
The home side will be without Antony, who was omitted from last week's midweek game on a stretcher. He joins Harry Maguire, Leny Yoro and Luke Shaw on the sideline for this game.
Furthermore, Noussair Mazraoui is a doubt for the home team.
Ruud van Nistelrooy will be on the touchline for Man United. This is due to the Erik ten Hag sacking on Monday.
Predicted Man United lineup vs Leicester: Onana; Dalot, De Ligt, Lindelof, Martinez; Ugarte, Eriksen; Diallo, Fernandes, Garnacho; Zirkzee

Man United vs Leicester score prediction
It will be a tough game for Leicester City. They come up against a difficult to forecast Man United team, under an interim manager. I will have to give Man United 1-0 Leicester as my pessimistic prediction.
Let's hope I'm wrong.
