Manchester United will be targeting back-to-back wins for the first time since the end of January when they face Leicester City at the King Power Stadium this evening, kick-off 7pm.
United kept their season alive by cruising into the quarter-finals of the Europa League on Thursday night with a 4-1 win over Real Sociedad at Old Trafford. A hat-trick from Bruno Fernandes and a late strike from Diogo Dalot sealed a 5-2 aggregate win for the Reds.
However, focus now switches back to the Premier League and attempting to stretch their unbeaten league run to four matches. United drew 1-1 with Arsenal in their last league outing a week ago.
Tonight's game marks United's last outing ahead of the final international break of the season, meaning they will be keen to sign off with a second successive victory.
Leicester, meanwhile, will welcome United to the King Power Stadium aiming to halt a run of five successive league defeats without scoring a goal. United have already beaten the Foxes three times this season.
