Manchester United will host Leicester City in the fourth round of the FA Cup on Friday. The Red Devils are hoping their success in the tournament will continue after they have struggled to find consistency in Premier League play. They take on a Leicester side that is also struggling as of late and has fallen into the relegation zone in the EPL.

Kickoff from Old Trafford is set for 3 p.m. ET. The hosts are the -300 money-line favorites (risk $300 to win $100) in the latest Man Utd vs. Leicester odds, with the hosts as the +725 underdogs (risk $100 to win $725). A draw is priced at +475 (risk $100 to win $475), and the over/under for total goals scored is 3.5. (For more soccer coverage, click here.)

Before you lock in your Man Utd vs. Leicester picks or FA Cup predictions, you need to see what proven soccer expert Martin Green has to say.

After working in the sports betting industry for several years, Green became a professional sports writer and handicapper and has covered the game worldwide. Last year, he was profitable in multiple areas on his soccer picks, including Euro qualifying (+6.30 units), the EFL Cup (+4.47), the FA Cup (+3.07) and the Champions League (+3.05), among others.

The expert knows the Red Devils have had a rollercoaster of a season because of personnel changes, and they are still adjusting to new manager Ruben Amorim's style. That being said, the reigning FA Cup champions have fared very well against the Foxes in recent history, winning four straight across all competitions. That includes a 5-2 win against Leicester in the EFL Cup and a 3-0 win in Premier League play, both of which took place earlier this season.

Green reminds us that Leicester manager Ruud van Nistelrooy was Manchester United's interim boss earlier in the campaign following Erik ten Hag's dismissal, although his familiarity with Friday's opponent may not make a difference. The Foxes have accumulated just three points over their last nine league matches and have fallen into the relegation zone. While the FA Cup could serve as a good opportunity to right the ship, Leicester is expected to be heavily outmatched.

Now, Green has taken a close look at this FA Cup match from all sides. He is leaning Over on the goal total and has a pair of best bets, plus a full breakdown of this match. You ABSOLUTELY need to see his picks and analysis before making any selections of your own.
