Manchester United is set to play against Leicester City at Old Trafford in the fourth round of the Carabao Cup. Scheduled for the week commencing 28 October, this marks their first meeting since February 2023. Manchester United reached this stage with a dominant 7-0 win over Barnsley, spearheaded by goals from Rashford, Garnacho, Eriksen, and Antony.

As Leicester City prepares for their return to the Premier League, six crucial team members, including Wilfred Ndidi and Kelechi Iheanacho, may leave due to contracts ending and transfer interests. The team faces a major restructuring under manager Maresca.
