Manchester United's hectic February schedule continues on Sunday as they host Leicester City at Old Trafford.

The Premier League game against the Foxes will be Erik ten Hag's side's fifth in 19 days and they still have two more – the second leg of their Europa League knock-out tie and the Carabao Cup final – to play before the end of the month.

Injuries and suspensions have made things even harder for the Red Devils, particularly in midfield where the absences of Casemiro and Christian Eriksen have been a major issue, so it's hardly ideal timing to have to take on a rejuvenated Leicester side.

The Foxes followed up their 4-2 win over Aston Villa with a 4-1 victory against Tottenham last weekend and will fancy their chances of ending Man Utd's long unbeaten run at Old Trafford.

Real Sociedad and Brighton are the only teams to win at the Theatre of Dreams since Erik ten Hag took charge in the summer – a record the Dutchman will be desperate to maintain.

Man Utd v Leicester team news

Man Utd predicted line-up: De Gea; Dalot, Varane, Martinez, Shaw; Sabitzer, Fred; Fernandes, Weghorst, Garnacho; Rashford

Leicester predicted line-up: Ward; Castagne, Souttar, Faes, Kristiansen; Mendy, Dewsbury-Hall; Tete, Maddison, Barnes

Man Utd v Leicester prediction

The absences of Casemiro and Eriksen should offer Leicester real hope. Man Utd have struggled for control with Fred and Marcel Sabitzer in midfield, and ten Hag may be forced to opt for that partnership again, which should allow the visitors space to create.

We've seen in recent games that Leicester are capable of taking their chances, something Leeds didn't do enough of last week, so the Red Devils can't afford to be as loose as they were against the Whites.

It doesn't suit the hosts to let the game turn into an end-to-end shoot-out as the visitors will be much fresher and have won two of those on the bounce but it remains to be seen whether the Dutch coach has the players to provide the control he'll want.

Our prediction: Man Utd 2-2 Leicester (14/1 at bet365)
