Match Preview
Ruben Amorim will once again be hoping for a response from his players this weekend after a 2-0 loss against Crystal Palace in the Premier League on Sunday. Man United will be among the leading contenders in the FA Cup, as they have already shown on a number of occasions this season that they are able to raise their performance levels when coming up against better teams.
Leicester produced arguably their best display in the previous round of the FA Cup after smashing six past QPR. However, their prospects of Premier League survival this term have been negatively impacted in recent weeks. Last weekend, they were hammered 4-0 on the road by Everton.

Man United and Leicester will be meeting in the FA Cup for the fourth time. Leicester recorded a 3-1 win in the latest meeting between the sides in the competition on their way to winning the FA Cup in 2021.
However, the Red Devils have had the dominant advantage in the meetings this season. Strangely, current Foxes boss Ruud van Nistelrooy was in charge of United for 5-2 and 3-0 wins earlier in the season.
United have a reliable record at Old Trafford in the FA Cup, winning 16 of their last 18 matches. But, Leicester have progressed from seven of their last eight ties at this stage of the competition, with their only loss coming in the 2021-22 season.
