Solskjaer's perfect start to his tenure came to an end in United's most recent match, with the Red Devils completing an unlikely late comeback to snatch a draw against Burnley.

Leicester should provide the Norwegian's team an excellent opportunity to get back on track, and with fixtures about to get significantly more difficult, it's one the Red Devils have to take.

Solskjaer knows things will get tough:

United are set to face Paris Saint-Germain, Chelsea and Liverpool later in February, while Arsenal and Manchester City await in March, along with another PSG clash. Victories will be hard to come by during that stretch.

Leicester are winless in their past three matches, losing two. The Foxes did impress in their latest outing, though, earning a point away to league-leaders Liverpool.

Claude Puel's side made some big moves during the January transfer window and could be boosted by the arrival of star midfielder Youri Tielemans, who discussed his attacking nature after joining on loan from AS Monaco:

Leicester's defensive prowess and counter-attacking strengths were on full display against the Reds, but they did most of their damage from set pieces. It's something United will have to look out for, even if their set-piece defending has got better since Solskjaer took charge in mid-December.

In attack, Jesse Lingard should return to the starting XI, and his mobility should open up things a bit. He was sorely missed before his second-half introduction against Burnley and could be a difference-maker against the Foxes.

Prediction: Leicester 1-1 United
