Manchester United had a few nervous moments towards the end but came away at the weekend with a 2-1 win at West Bromwich Albion. They are still 11 points behind the league leaders and only three points clear of third-placed Chelsea. Away form has been a bit shaky at times for United but they have still managed five wins out of nine in the Premier League this season. The loss to Manchester City may have put their title hopes in real jeopardy but there has been some good  news in the last week with Romelu Lukaku scoring in both of the games against Bournemouth and West Bromwich Albion and that's three in his last four league and cup games for United.  The loss to City is their only defeat in their last six Premier League games. Leicester City are eighth in the Premier League but 15 points adrift of United. They had been on an impressive run of form in recent weeks before a shock 3-0 home loss to Crystal Palace last weekend. Games for City against the top sides in the table haven't produced good results this season. Leicester have already been beaten this season by both the Manchester clubs, Arsenal, Liverpool and Chelsea. They have had recent wins at home over Tottenham and Burnley so can't be totally discounted in this game. United are on a good run of form though with the likes of Lukaku, Rashford and Lingard causing problems galore. They can help give United a narrow win in this game.
