Fri Feb 07 19:10:00 UTC 2025: ## Manchester United Host Leicester in FA Cup Clash; Old Trafford Unbeaten Streak on the Line

**Manchester, England** – Defending FA Cup champions Manchester United face Leicester City at Old Trafford on Saturday, February 8th, in a highly anticipated fourth-round tie. Kick-off is scheduled for 1:30 AM IST and will be broadcast live on Sony Sports Network and streamed on SonyLIV.

This match marks the third meeting between the two sides this season, with Manchester United having convincingly defeated Leicester 5-2 in the League Cup and 3-0 in the Premier League, both at Old Trafford. Adding intrigue to the fixture is Leicester’s manager, former Manchester United striker Ruud van Nistelrooy, who oversaw both defeats. Van Nistelrooy’s appointment as Leicester manager followed a brief stint as assistant coach under former Manchester United manager, Ten Hag.

While Leicester currently struggles in 18th place in the Premier League, they will be hoping to upset the odds against a Manchester United team with a poor recent home record. The Red Devils have lost five of their last six home matches against fellow Premier League opponents. A victory for Leicester would be a significant upset and a much-needed boost for their league campaign. For Manchester United, a win is crucial to maintain their FA Cup title defense and improve their overall morale.
