Leicester vs Man Utd LIVE: Premier League latest score and updates as Garnacho doubles visitors lead
Ruben Amorim’s men who to build on a positive performance in the Europa League and defeat the relegation-threatened Foxes
Leicester host Manchester United in the Premier League’s late kick off with the Foxes hoping to end a terrible run of form.
Ruud van Nistelrooy’s men have lost 11 of their last 12 league games with their only victory in that run coming against Tottenham at the end of January. They sit 19th in the table and are nine points away from safety with time running out to avoid an immediate drop back into the Championship.
Manchester United, meanwhile, are 15th with just one league win from their last five games. But, they are on a three-game unbeaten run in the league and enter the game on the back of securing a spot in the Europa League quarter-finals.
United have beaten Leicester three times already this season and Ruben Amorim’s men will be confident of doing so again.

GOAL! Leicester 0-1 Man Utd
It’s brilliant from Bruno Fernandes. He receives the ball in the right side of the pitch and laces a threaded pass in behind the defence.
Rasmus Hojlund is the willing runner and takes up the ball before dribbling into the box.
His shot is angled across goal and fizzes into the far bottom corner.
His goal drought is over!

The full-time whistle sounds to put Leicester City out of their misery, as they suffer a seventh straight home defeat without scoring and go down 3-0 to Manchester United at the King Power Stadium. The Red Devils always looked likely to add to their first-half advantage and produced 0.78 xG with close efforts from Garnacho, who saw a goal ruled out for a fractional offside before pouncing with a first-time finish to make it 2-0. Fernandes, who had set up both of United's strikes, then got in on the act with a well-placed strike in the last minute of normal time, making it 3-0 to put the result beyond doubt. Leicester rarely looked like scoring, but did manage to out-produce United with 1.17 xG and De Ligt blocked a close-range shot from Buonanotte before a late flurry saw Winks and Vardy both test Onana in injury time. But Leicester weren't able to find the net and become the first English side to ever lose seven straight without a goal at home; a seventh straight defeat which leaves them second-bottom and nine points away from safety. The Red Devils, meanwhile, climb up to 13th, extending their unbeaten streak to four games and matching their best run of a very underwhelming season.

Leicester continue their late flurry of attacks and Winks crosses back into the middle following an Ayew corner, with Casemiro heading behind to deal with the danger and concede another set-piece.

SAVED!!! Winks recovers possession from a cleared Leicester free-kick and slips Vardy in behind, but Onana stands his ground to parry the veteran's shot and Ayew can't make anything of the rebound!

SAVED!!! Crosses from Mavididi and Faes are both easily dealt with by the visitors before the ball comes out to Winks, who fires a low strike goalwards from 25 yards which Onana gathers with ease!

Fernandes has now been involved in 31 goals across all competitions this season, with 16 goals and 15 assists – only Mohamed Salah (54) and Erling Haaland (33) have more goal involvements amongst Premier League players in 2024-25.

We're into EIGHT minutes of added time at the King Power, but that won't be enough for this Leicester team to mount much of a comeback.
