The brief era of Ruud van Nistelrooy era as the interim manager draw to a closer as the Red Devils take on Leicester this weekend. United are in 13th place in the standings and have struggled this season so far. They eased past PAOK by a 2-0 scoreline in the Europa League in their last match and will look to achieve the same result.
The Foxes are in 15th place and have not been at their best this season. The away side played out a 1-1 draw against Ipswich Town. Cooper’s men have lacked defensive nous all season long and will need to get the backline in position to win today’s fixture.
Manchester United: Onana; Dalot, De Ligt, Martinez, Mazraoui; Casemiro, Ugarte; Rashford, Fernandes, Garnacho; Hojlund
Leicester City: Hermansen; Justin, Faes, Okoli, Kristiansen; Soumare, Winks; Fatawu, Buonanotte, Ayew; Vardy
Prediction: Manchester United 2-1 Leicester City

In a highly anticipated Premier League clash at the City Ground Nottingham Forest under Nuno Espirito Santo will host Eddie Howe’s Newcastle United. Forest enter the game with confidence, sitting in the top three after a series of strong performances including a dominant 3-0 win over West Ham.
Meanwhile, Newcastle’s morale is high after a critical 1-0 victory over Arsenal, where Alexander Isak’s header and solid performances from Tino Livramento and Lewis Hall stole the spotlight. However, Newcastle has struggled on the road, taking only one point from their last three away games. Still history is on their side as they remain unbeaten in six Premier League visits to the City Ground.
Nottm Forest: Sels; Aina, Milenkovic, Murillo, Moreno; Dominguez, Yates; Elanga, Gibbs-White, Hudson-Odoi; Wood
Newcastle: Pope; Livramento, Schar, Burn, Hall; Longstaff, Guimaraes, Willock; Gordon, Isak, Joelinton

Tottenham Hotspur aim to rebound in today’s fixture against Ipswich Town. Ange Postecoglou’s men will be eager to maintain their impressive home form, having won their last six matches at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. They recently lost 3-2 in Europa League to Galatasaray but last weekend Spurs stunned Aston Villa with a 4-1 comeback and will aim to repeat the same this weekend and set a record as the first Premier League side to win four consecutive home games after conceding first.
Ipswich, meanwhile, are desperate for their first league win. They were denied by a late equalizer from Leicester City last weekend, leaving them winless and 18th in the standings. The Tractor Boys have struggled in recent London trips, conceding four goals to both West Ham and Brentford. They’ll be hoping to halt Tottenham’s hot streak and avoid more away-day woes.
Tottenham Hotspur: Vicario; Porro, Romero, Dragusin, Udogie; Kulusevski, Bentancur, Sarr; Johnson, Solanke, Son
Ipswich Town: Muric; Johnson, O’Shea, Burgess, Davis; Morsy, Cajuste; Hutchinson, Chaplin, Clarke; Delap
Prediction: Tottenham Hotspur 3-1 Ipswich Town

Two of London’s biggest teams clash this weekend as Chelsea welcome Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal to Stamford Bridge. Both teams have shown strong performances so far and will aim for victory in today’s encounter. The Blues currently sit fourth in the league standings and have had an impressive season. They are coming off a dominant 8-0 win over Noah in the Conference League midweek, showcasing their attacking prowess.
Meanwhile, the Gunners occupy fifth place in the Premier League table but have been somewhat inconsistent. After a disappointing 1-0 defeat to Inter Milan in the UEFA Champions League midweek, Arsenal will look to bounce back and maintain their Premier League form this weekend.
Chelsea: Sanchez; Gusto, Fofana, Colwill, James; Caicedo, Lavia; Madueke, Palmer, Neto; Jackson
Arsenal: Raya; White, Saliba, Gabriel, Timber; Odegaard, Jorginho, Partey; Saka, Jesus, Martinelli
Prediction: Chelsea 1-1 Arsenal
