JAKARTA - Manchester United (MU) will host Leicester City in the Premier League in week 15 at Old Trafford Stadium, Sunday 19 February. In that match, they hoped for the sharpness of Marcus Rashford to stick to Arsenal who were at the top of the standings.

This season, Rashford has already collected 12 goals in the Premier League this season. He has also always scored in the last four games in all competitions that the Red Devils have participated in. Finally, he broke into Barcelona's goal when United drew 2-2 in the Europa League championship.

The goal he scored at the Camp Nou Stadium brought his team to level 1-1 after Erik ten Hag's squad was scored by Marcos Alonso.

MU had a 2-1 lead thanks to an own goal by Barcelona defender Jules Kunde. But Raphinha saved the Spanish giant from defeat thanks to his goal in the 76th minute.

Rashford's sharpness far exceeds Wout Weghorst, who served as the sole spearhead in the front row. The Dutchman has not scored a goal at all in the Premier League since signing from Besiktas. He only contributed one goal from the Premier League Cup against tier Forest.

Rashford has also collected 14 goals in 16 United matches in all competitions since returning from England at the 2022 World Cup.

Menjambu Leicester, Man United masih mengapikan Donny van de Beek lantaran cedera knelt. Sementara Christian Eriksen mungkin tidak akan kembali beraksi hingga April atau bahkan Mei karena cedera an ankle.

Anthony Martial and Antony are both sidelined due to injury. Scott McTominay needs to be assessed before this match to see if he can play. Casemiro is still out because he has to score three games.

The position of two midfielders in front of the four defenders will be filled by Fred and new player Marcel Sabitzer. Rashford will be the trio behind the single spearhead (Weghorst) alongside Bruno Fernandes and Jadon Sancho.

Erik ten Hag insists he does not want to rest Bruno Fernandes because of his vital role in Manchester United's game. The Red Devils took action against Leicester on Thursday, just 72 hours after a dramatic 2-2 draw with Barcelona.

And they will hope for another positive result as they want to put pressure on Arsenal and Manchester City at the top of the Premier League standings.

In the Leicester camp, James Justin and Ryan Bertrand were both sidelined due to injury. Boubakary Soumare and Jonny Evans should be judged to see if they are ready to return from injury in this match.

Youri Tielemans is predicted to return to the center row after recovering from a calf injury. He will work hand in hand with Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall to be the midfielder duo in front of four defenders who will be filled by Timothy Castagne, Harry Souttar, Wout Faes, Victor Kristiansen.

Kelechi Iheanacho will be the mainstay in the front line as the spearhead of Tete, James Maddison, and Harvey Barnes. The position of goalkeeper will be entrusted to Danny Ward.

Manchester United came to this match with a 2-2 draw in the first leg of the Europa League knockout play-off match against Barcelona.

In the Premier League, they have only lost once to the last 10 games, drew twice and won seven other games. Their performance at home in the Premier League is also pretty good. Their only defeat came on the day of opening against Brighton.

Leicester recorded a Premier League back-to-back win for the third time this season and did so in an incredible way, beating Tottenham 4-1 last weekend. In an away game in the league, the Foxes have won four times, all in their last six away league games.

MU is in the best form at this time and will be predicted to win in this party. Maybe one of those who brought them to three points was scored by Marcus Rashford.
