It's going to be a big week for Leicester City when they try to win on two fronts.
Leicester will tackle Manchester United in the Premier League at Old Trafford on Tuesday evening (6 p.m. kick-off) while they look to end in the top four.
DON"T MISS:
The Foxes are actually fourth in the table, one point behind third-placed Chelsea and seven points behind second-placed Manchester United.
Brendan Rodgers' men are five points ahead of fifth-placed West Ham, though Liverpool, Tottenham Hotspur, and Everton are all in contention for a position in the Champions League.
Leicester will be trying to avenge their 4-2 home loss to Newcastle on Friday night.
They still have the FA Cup final versus Chelsea at Wembley on Saturday to train for (May 15).
This is accompanied by a midweek league match at Stamford Bridge against the same rivals, before City concludes their season at home against Tottenham Hotspur on May 23.
Meanwhile, United would face Liverpool on Thursday after the game was postponed last weekend due to fan demonstrations.
DON"T MISS:
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side came from behind to defeat Aston Villa 2-1 last time out on Sunday and will be aiming to put a stop to Manchester City's title celebrations once more here.
Former Manchester United and Liverpool striker Michael Owen want Solskjaer to make improvements against Leicester, but he predicts a 1-0 loss for the Foxes.
"Manchester United welcomes Leicester to Old Trafford after yet another road victory, this time at Villa Park on Sunday afternoon." "The Reds' undefeated streak in the Premier League now stands at 14 games (25 away)," Owen wrote in his new BetVictor blog.
"However, with Liverpool coming to town only 48 hours after this game, Ole Gunnar Solkjaer could be pressured to make adjustments."
"After losing to Newcastle on Friday night, Leicester is now in a definite struggle for a top-four place." They are now in the box seat, but with Liverpool hot on their tails, the Foxes are in for a nerve-racking run-in.
"However, they are unbeaten in 10 of their last 11 away Premier League games."
"I believe this may be a challenge. Both like to play on the offensive, so I believe it will be a tactical fight.
"There is a real possibility that United will make any improvements, but I believe they are now playing the best football."
"For me, it's a narrow home victory for the Red Devils."
