The 2018-19 Premier League season
officially begins today when the title contender Manchester United welcomes
Leicester City to Old Trafford.
It's the only match of the day and there is
plenty at stake.
Starting off the season well is key
for any club, and the pressure is on Manchester United and manager Jose
Mourinho.
The team has World Cup winner Paul
Pogba leading the midfield, and Belgium star Romelu Lukaku manning the attack
with Alexis Sanchez.
But an inconsistent defense may get a test from England
international striker Jamie Vardy, though Leicester city did sell their best
player Riyad Mahrez to Manchester City.
What's at stake?
Three early points and a perfect start to the season. For Leicester
City, after using Riyad Mahrez, the team could very well find itself in the
relegation battle if it stars slowly. Some early points will ease any nerves.
As for United, the goal is to win the Premier League, and failing to get three
points here will raise some big questions after just the first match day.
Manchester United vs. Leicester City prediction
Manchester United have an upper hand with experience on their squad.
There are higher chances that they will win this game and top the Premier
League table on Friday night.
Predicted Score- Man. United 2, Leicester City
0.
