Manchester United will host Leicester City in a Carabao Cup 2024-25 Round of 16 match at Old Trafford, Manchester on Thursday, October 31.

The Manchester United vs Leicester City Carabao Cup 2024-25 match will start at 1:15 AM IST on Thursday. Live streaming of the match will be available in India.

Organised by the English Football League, the Carabao Cup also known as the EFL Cup or the League Cup is an annual knockout competition in men’s domestic football in England.

A total of 92 teams from the English Premier League and the three tiers of the English Football League entered the 65th edition of the tournament. After three rounds of action, the number of teams has come down to 16.

All rounds in the knockout tournament are single-legged except the two semi-finals. The fate of any single-legged match is decided by penalties if the scores are level at the end of the regulation period.

The final of the Carabao Cup will be played at the iconic Wembley Stadium in London with the winning team getting a chance to play in the UEFA Conference League next season.

United made their entry into the EFL Cup 2024-25 third round after receiving byes in the first two rounds of this competition by virtue of their involvement in European football - UEFA Europa League 2024-25. 

In the third round of Carabao Cup 2024-25, the Red Devils thrashed Barnsley 7-0 last month with Marcus Rashford, Alejandro Garnacho and Christian Eriksen all scoring a brace.

Meanwhile, Leicester beat fourth-tier club Walsall, 3-0 on penalties, in their EFL Cup 2024-25 third-round fixture in September after the game ended in a stalemate at the end of regulation time.

Manchester United will step onto the field for the first time in the EFL Cup 2024-25 contest after the sacking of manager Erik ten Hag on Monday with Ruud van Nistelrooy taking charge as interim manager of the team.

United had a poor start to their domestic campaign mustering three wins and two draws in their first nine games and are placed a lowly 14th in the Premier League points table. 

The 1-2 loss at West Ham United was United’s fourth loss in the league and proved to be Ten Hag’s last game at the helm. 

Leicester, who got promoted to the Premier League after spending the last season in the EFL Championship, are placed one rung below United at 15th in the league standings. 

They have managed nine points from the first nine rounds and enter the United tie after a 1-3 loss at home to Nottingham Forest.

Manchester United, who won the Carabao Cup in the 2022-23 season, will be keen to reboot their ongoing campaign with this cup tie as they host Chelsea in the Premier League during the weekend.

The Premier League is the top-division tournament in English football.

The competition - known as the FA Premier League - was founded in 1992, with 22 clubs involved in the First Division breaking away from the Football League.

The initial season involved 19 teams directly from the First Division and three teams from the Second Division. From the 1993-94 campaign, the teams earning promotion to the Premier League would come from the First Division instead of the Second Division that was discontinued in 1992.

From the 1995-96 season, the Premier League operated with 20 teams. The edition saw two teams earn promotion from the First Division (now second-tier), but it would revert to a format where three teams would be promoted.

Prior to the start of the 2004-05 Premier League season, the First Division would be renamed as the Football League Championship.

In all, 50 clubs have played in the Premier League. While 48 teams are based in England, two (Cardiff City and Swansea City) are located in Wales.

There have been just seven different league winners in history, with Liverpool being the last team to claim a maiden Premier League crown.

Who won the first Premier League?

Manchester United won the inaugural season of the Premier League in 1992/93. The Red Devils maintained a 10-point advantage in the title race and finished ahead of Aston Villa, who managed 74 points from 42 games.

Mark Hughes finished as the top scorer for Manchester United as he scored 15 goals in 41 games, and would be supported by Ryan Giggs, Eric Cantona and Brian McNair (nine goals).

Who has won the most Premier League titles?

Manchester United have won the Premier League 13 times, the most by any team. As it would be, the club triumphed in the league all during the managerial tenure of Sir Alex Ferguson.

The Red Devils last won the Premier League in the 2012-13 season, with Robin van Persie scoring 26 goals. The season would be Ferguson’s final campaign as a manager.

Liverpool will host Leicester City in their third round match of the Carabao Cup 2023-24 campaign at Anfield. The Liverpool vs Leicester City EFL Cup 2023-24 match will start at 12:15 AM Indian Standard Time (IST).

Under manager Jurgen Klopp, Liverpool will head into the clash after beating West Ham 3-1 in their last outing in the Premier League 2023-24.

Mohamed Salah, Darwin Nunez and Diogo Jota netted a goal each to help the Reds bag another three points at home. 

With five wins and one draw, Liverpool are currently placed second in the Premier League 2023-24 standings, two points behind leaders Manchester City.

Liverpool will aim for an improved showing in the Carabao Cup after being knocked out by Manchester City in the Round of 16 last season.

On the other hand, Leicester City will look to continue their good form after their impressive start in the EFL Championship 2023-24.

The Foxes pipped Bristol City 1-0 courtesy Jamie Vardy’s penalty in the 67th minute in their previous game in the ongoing EFL Championship. 

Having registered seven victories and one solitary defeat, Leicester are placed at the top of the EFL Championship 2023-24 standings with 21 points from eight matches.

Interestingly, Liverpool are the most successful team in Carabao Cup history with nine titles. Meanwhile, Leicester City have won the EFL Cup on three occasions previously.

Liverpool vs Leicester City head-to-head

Liverpool hold a superior head-to-head record against Leicester City across competitions, winning 55 of the 121 matches that they have played so far. Leicester have secured 41 victories, while 25 matches have ended in draws.

Third in the Premier League 2022-23 standings, Manchester United will take on Leicester City at Old Trafford on Sunday, February 19, 2023. This fixture is slated to begin from 7:30 PM Indian Standard Time (IST).

Manchester United will be hoping to register back-to-back wins in the league after getting the better of Leeds United in their last outing. United are currently third in the standings having earned 46 points after being involved in 14 wins, four draws and five losses.

Leicester City, on the other hand, are 13th in the standings having picked up seven wins, played out three draws and suffered 12 losses. The Foxes though will believe they can get something from the game and will head into the contest with successive wins in the league.

MUN vs LEI Dream11 prediction for Premier League 2022-23

These two teams have squared off 136 times over the years with the Red Devils winning 69 games, while Leicester have emerged triumphant 36. There have been 31 draws between these teams.

Looking at form, both sides will be brimming with confidence but United are more likely to come away with the win in front of their buoyant home support.

The Red Devils registered a 1-0 win against the Foxes in the reverse fixture earlier this season and it wouldn’t be much of a surprise if United do the double over Leicester with a win at Old Trafford on Sunday.

MUN vs LEI Dream11 team tips for Premier League 2022-23

Top tip: Best forward - Marcus Rashford

Picking Manchester United’s Marcus Rashford as your attacker is an absolute no brainer given the form the English forward finds himself in at the moment.

He’s found the back of the net 22 times this season and has also registered eight assists. Needless to say, he’ll be eager to add to his goal tally against Leicester and it will take a brave man to bet against him.

Top tip: Best midfielder - Bruno Fernandes

The Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes has started to return to his best in recent games as far as his form is concerned.

A creative player who is capable of consistently creating chances for his teammates, Bruno Fernandes has registered seven goals and eight assists this season. Expect him to have more goal contributions come Sunday, so don’t miss adding him to your fantasy team.

Top tip: Best defender - Lisandro Martinez

A rock at the back for Manchester United this season, keeping Lisandro Martinez in your fantasy football team could prove to be a wise decision.

The Argentine centre-back has arguably been United’s best centre-back in the ongoing campaign and his presence in the backline usually results in clean sheets and an added sense of security for the rest of his teammates. Picking him in your team could help you earn some valuable fantasy points.

Top tip: Best goalkeeper - Danny Ward

Picking Danny Ward over David de Gea as your main man in between the sticks will make for a wise choice quite simply because he’s more likely to make more saves and as a result give you precious fantasy points.

The record for the biggest wins in Premier League history is shared by three teams - Manchester United, Leicester City and Liverpool.

Liverpool, for starters, are the latest team to have pulled off the biggest victory in Premier League history.

During their 2022-23 league outing against Bournemouth at Anfield, the Reds secured a 9-0 win, thanks to braces from Roberto Firmino and Luis Diaz, Harvey Elliott, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Virgil van Dijk, Fabio Carvalho and an own goal from Bournemouth’s Chris Mepham.

Jurgen Klopp’s men’s result equalled their biggest margin of victory in English top-flight football set against Crystal Palace (9-0, 1989) and Rotherham Town (10-1, 1896).

Liverpool’s victory was the club’s first win of the 2022-23 Premier League campaign, having drawn the first two fixtures and lost 1-2 away at Manchester United.

Historically, Manchester United are the first team to score nine goals in a Premier League game. During the 1994-95 season, the Red Devils registered a landslide 9-0 win over Ipswich Town.

In just his seventh game for the MUFC, Andy Cole netted five times in the fixture and became the first to do so in a PL game. Mark Hughes (two goals), Roy Keane, and Paul Ince completed the rout.

The Red Devils would replicate the feat 25 years later in the 2020-21 Premier League season.

Hosting Southampton at Old Trafford, Man United secured a 9-0 win with Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Marcus Rashford, Edinson Cavani, Anthony Martial (two goals), Scott McTominay, Bruno Fernandes and Daniel James finding the net.

Jan Bednarek scored an own goal as the Saints slumped to a 0-9 defeat for the second time in their history.

Leicester City is the other team to register a 9-0 victory over Southampton in the Premier League era. The Foxes rode on hat-tricks from Ayoze Perez and Jamie Vardy to pull off their biggest win in English top-flight history.

The pair were supported by Ben Chilwell, Youri Tielemans and James Maddison as Leicester scripted the largest away win in the English top-flight.

Tottenham Hotspur are the last team to have scored nine goals in a Premier League match, as they rallied to a 9-1 win against Wigan Athletic in 2009.

Jermaine Defoe emulated Andy Cole and Alan Shearer as the third player to score five goals in a Premier League fixture. At the same time, his teammates Peter Crouch, Aaron Lennon, David Bentley, Niko Kranjčar and Paul Scharner contributed a goal each.

Team	Opponent	Result	Year
Manchester United	Ipswich Town	9-0	1995
Leicester City	Southampton	9-0	2019
Manchester United	Southampton	9-0	2021
Liverpool	Bournemouth	9-0	2022

Arsenal (ARS) host Leicester City (LEI) in gameweek 2 of the Premier League 2022-23 season at the Emirates Stadium on Saturday, June 13. The match will kick off at 7:30 PM IST.

ARS vs LEI Dream11 prediction

Arsenal made the best possible start to the new Premier League season, beating Crystal Palace 2-0 away from home. On the other hand, Leicester were held to a 2-2 draw by Brentford in a match that exposed their defensive frailties.

Arsenal have assembled an excellent attacking unit for the new campaign and the new players have taken no time to settle. Furthermore, given the home advantage, Arsenal are expected to have the edge against the Foxes, who have lost each of their last three Premier League meetings against the Gunners.

ARS vs LEI Dream11 team tips for Premier League 2022-23

Top tip: Best forward

Between Gabriel Martinelli and Gabriel Jesus, one can punt on the latter. The former Manchester City forward, who costs 9 credits, did blank against Crystal Palace but there were signs aplenty to see the kind of damage he can do as a number nine. We expect him to get on the scoresheet come Saturday.

Top tip: Best midfielder

If Leicester are to cause an upset, a certain James Maddison will have to be at his very best. There are options such as Bukayo Saka and Youri Tielemans, but judging by the performance that Maddison put on against Brentford and his pre-season form, he remains our pick for this position.

Top tip: Best defender and goalkeeper

With an assist on his competitive debut, Arsenal left-back Oleksandr Zinchenko proved to be quite a coup for fantasy managers on gameweek 1. Costing 9 credits, the former Man City defender ended up tallying 80 fantasy points against Palace and is expected to perform similarly against Leicester.

For a goalkeeper, Arsenal’s Aaron Ramsdale remains the safest option to go with as he is more likely to keep a clean sheet among the two custodians. At just 8.5 credits, he remains our top recommendation for this position.

ARS vs LEI probable playing XI

ARS playing XI (probable): Aaron Ramsdale (captain): Ben White, William Saliba, Gabriel Magalhaes, Oleksandr Zinchenko; Granit Xhaka, Thomas Partey; Bukayo Saka, Martin Odegaard (captain), Gabriel Martinelli; Gabriel Jesus

LEI playing XI (probable): Danny Ward (goalkeeper); Wesley Fofana, Daniel Amartey, Jonny Evans; Timothy Castagne, Wilfred Ndidi, Youri Tielemans, James Justin; James Maddison, Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall; Jamie Vardy (captain)
