Manchester United vs Leicester Details
Manchester United vs Leicester City is taking place on Friday, 10th August 2018.
Kick-off is expected to take place at 8:00 pm (BST) UK Time. You’ll be able to tune in with your VPN from ExpressVPN a few minutes before kick-off to watch live.
The match signals the start of the 2018-19 Premier League season.
The match is taking place at Manchester United’s ground Old Trafford. In the opening game nerves are expected to be high as both teams want to ease back into the new season.
United will have the clear advantage playing at home and if you believe statistics then they’re 64% likely to win, with Leicester holding just a 13% likely to win percentage. The remaining 23% is expecting to see a draw.
United should be buoyed by the return of Marcus Rashford, Phil Jones and Romelu Lukaku who have all returned to training and should be available for the match against Leicester.
Kelechi Iheanacho will need to step up to the mark for Leicester as goal scoring hero Jamie Vardy won’t be made available after just returning from holiday after the World Cup.
Leicester have bolstered their squad this season adding James Maddison, Ricardo Pereira, Danny Ward and Jonny Evans to the team.
Even though Manchester United are clear favourites, the result could go either way. It’ll be an exciting opening game for sure.
