Premier League preview and odds: Manchester United vs Leicester City

May 01 , 2016 14:05pm - Old Trafford

Premier League

All eyes will be on Old Trafford on Sunday as Leicester City attempt to secure the Premier League title with a win over 20-time former champions Manchester United.

United still in hunt for top four

While Leicester City will be grabbling all the attention with their title charge, Manchester United will be concentrating on their own quest to secure Champions League football.

The Red Devils are five points behind fourth-ranked Arsenal but still have a game in hand. Even if they win all of their remaining games, they will still need to Londoners to slip up if they are going to grab the final Champions League spot.

Louis van Gaal`s men have kept six clean sheets in their last seven home games, and have conceded just one league goal at Old Trafford since February. They come into this game on the back of an FA Cup semi-final victory over Everton.

Leicester City just 90 minutes from history

Leicester City just need to match Tottenham`s result in this weekend`s round of matches to secure the Premier League crown. However, with Spurs not playing until Monday night, only a win on Sunday will be enough to spark immediate celebrations at Old Trafford.

The Foxes have been in remarkable form all season having lost just three games since the campaign kicked off in August. Away from home, they have won their last three in row without conceding a goal.

With such form behind them, Claudio Ranieri`s men should have no problem grabbing the three points that they need to secure the title over the next three games.

Team news

The home side will be without Adnan Januzai, Bastian Schweinsteiger, Will Keane and Luke Shaw.

Meanwhile, Leicester will have to cope without the suspended Jamie Vardy.
