Just 10 days after their last visit to Old Trafford, Leicester City return to face Manchester United once again—this time in the Premier League.
It’s a chance for Steve Cooper’s side to seek revenge after a humbling 5-2 defeat in the Carabao Cup last month.
For that cup clash, Cooper made several changes to his starting XI, a gamble that didn’t pay off as City were comprehensively beaten.
This weekend, with Premier League points at stake, he’ll be hoping a stronger line-up can deliver a different result.
Leicester’s recent league form offers reason for optimism. Last week, they snatched a dramatic 1-1 draw at Ipswich, courtesy of Jordan Ayew’s 94th-minute equaliser.
Ayew has become something of a late-game specialist, having also netted a 98th-minute winner against Southampton just days earlier.
While fans might have hoped to watch this intriguing contest unfold live on TV, they’ll be disappointed. The match won’t be broadcast in the UK, despite being moved from its original Saturday slot.
Why Isn’t Man United vs Leicester on TV?
The fixture was initially scheduled for Saturday at 3pm but was pushed back to Sunday at 2pm due to Manchester United’s European commitments.
Ruud van Nistelrooy’s side hosted PAOK in the Europa League on Thursday night, necessitating an extra day’s recovery.
Despite the rescheduling, the match has not been picked by broadcasters, meaning fans in the UK will have to look elsewhere for live football coverage during that time slot.
What Games Are on TV?
Instead, Sky Sports will broadcast Nottingham Forest vs Newcastle at 2pm on their Main Event and Premier League channels. Following that, attention shifts to the 4:30pm blockbuster between Chelsea and Arsenal.
How Can Fans Follow the Action?
For Leicester supporters, there are still plenty of ways to stay updated. LeicestershireLive will have comprehensive coverage, including a live blog featuring all the build-up, action, and post-match reaction from Old Trafford.
Fans can also tune into BBC Radio Leicester for live commentary, while national coverage will be available on BBC Radio Five Live. It may not be televised, but Leicester’s showdown with Manchester United is set to capture plenty of attention as the Foxes look to spring a surprise at the Theatre of Dreams.
