Man United Preview

The previous encounter between the Red Devils and Barcelona ended in a respectable 2-2 draw, and this weekend they’ll try to improve on that performance.
During the past month, Manchester United has been in outstanding form and has truly found their footing in the Premier League. In top form right now, Marcus Rashford will want to increase his growing number of goals this weekend.
Manchester United are missing out on some players though, which are important for their squad depth. Donny Van De Beek, Christian Eriksen, Anthony Martial, Antony are confirmed absentees. Mctominay is a doubt whereas Casemiro is suspended.
Leicester City Preview
In contrast, Leicester City, who started their season slowly, is currently in 13th place in the league table and has improved.
The away side stunned Tottenham Hotspur with a 4-1 victory last week and will look to achieve a similar result in this fixture.
Harvey Barnes is a gem for Leicester City. Having scored 8 goals in 22 games for Leicester this season, he’s bound to score more. This is a turning point for Barnes in his career. At his age, he is apt and experienced enough to deliver consistently.
In the Premier League, Leicester City appears to have made progress, and they are dangerous when they are at their best.
Yet Manchester United has been the superior team this year, so they enter this match with a tiny advantage!
