Manchester United head into their FA Cup fourth round clash having seen their three-match winning streak come to an abrupt end with a 2-0 defeat at home against Crystal Palace on Sunday afternoon.
Ruben Amorim’s side have struggled in the Premier League of late, winning just two of their last eight matches which has left the Red Devils struggling down in 13th place, five points off the top half of the table heading into the final third of the season.
The Manchester side have fared better in the cup competitions though, finishing third out of 36 in the Europa League to seal their place in the last 16, and started their FA Cup title defence with a penalty shoot out victory against Arsenal at the Emirates.

Leicester make the trip to Old Trafford having lost eight of their last nine Premier League matches, a run which has seen Ruud van Nistelrooy’s side drop back into the relegation zone, currently two points adrift of safety.
The Foxes have lost 13 of their last 18 matches in all competitions, and face Arsenal in their next league game after Friday night’s FA Cup bout with defending champions Manchester United, with the club needing results quickly to avoid an instant relegation back to the Championship.
The East Midlands side lifted the FA Cup trophy for the first time in their history under Brendan Rodgers back in 2021, but have an up and down time since, reaching a European semi final the next season, being relegated the following year before earning promotion back to the top flight in 2024.
Manchester United have won each of their last four games against Leicester, and have already met twice this season having also been drawn against each other in the Carabao Cup, and on both occasions the Red Devils were managed by the current Foxes boss on a caretaker basis following the sacking of Erik ten Hag.
