Leicester City Women vs Manchester United Women Prediction

An out of form Leicester City play host to Manchester United on Sunday, where a win for either side would be a significant step towards their season's goals.

Should Leicester win, they would move five points clear of Everton at the foot of the table, while if United are victorious, the fifth placed side could surge to as high as third in the standings.

With the high stakes game fast approaching, here is everything you need to now about both sides ahead of kick-off.

Key Statistics

• Leicester have seen just eight total goals scored in their seven matches so far, the lowest accumulated total of any side in the WSL.
• They have scored just two of those, making their attacking the joint worst alongside Everton.
• Manchester United have the sturdiest defence in the league, having conceded just two goals so far.
• The Red Devils are also unbeaten so far this season, winning three and drawing three.

Leicester City Preview

Leicester City Predicted Lineup (4-2-3-1): Janina Leitzig (GK); Courtney Nevin, Sari Kees, Sophie Howard, Asmita Ale; Ruby Mace, Yuka Momiki; Missy Goodwin, Shana Chossenotte, Hannah Cain; Janice Cayman.

While Leicester have managed a win and two draws in their opening run of fixtures, they have been far from convincing. Their win came against bottom of the table strugglers Everton, and one of their draws came against 10th placed Aston Villa.

While their defence has been composed and stable, conceding more than a goal just once this season, their tally of two goals scored leaves plenty to be desired.

Lacking in creativity and inspiration, Leicester striker Janice Cayman has been starved of service so far this season, and is yet to score this season. Their wingers have scored both of their two goals.

Manchester United Preview

Manchester United Predicted Lineup (4-2-3-1): Phallon Tullis-Joyce (GK); Gabrielle George, Millie Turner, Maya Le Tissier, Jayde Riviere; Dominique Janssen, Grace Clinton; Melvine Malard, Ella Toone, Celin Bizet Ildhusoy, Elisabeth Terland.

Man United have had a strong start to the season, and as many expected them to, find themselves in the race for continental football next season.

However, after three wins from three at the start of the season, they have recently failed to take advantage of level scorelines. Drawing their last three against Brighton, Arsenal and Aston Villa, it seems United have lost the clinical edge that made them so dangerous early on.

An out of form and goal-shy Leicester represent a good opportunity to return to winning ways, and with the best defence in the league, United should have no problem shutting them out. The potential issue could be by-passing a similarly stubborn Leicester defence, but the quality in the United squad should carry them to a victory here.
