Manchester United vs Leeds Preview
Recent results
United’s last two away matches saw them draw 2-2 at Bournemouth and lose 2-1 at Newcastle, but their home form has been superb since Michael Carrick took charge.
The Red Devils have won all five top-flight games at Old Trafford under the interim boss, the most recent successes being the 2-1 win over Crystal Palace and 3-1 victory vs top-five rivals Aston Villa.
Leeds picked up a huge win last Sunday, beating West Ham on penalties in the FA Cup quarter-finals after an entertaining 2-2 draw. A Wembley outing now awaits, though Daniel Farke must still be concerned by his side’s Premier League form.
The Whites are six matches without a win in the top flight, failing to score in each of the last four after consecutive 1-0 home defeats to Manchester City and Sunderland were followed by 0-0 draws with Crystal Palace and Brentford.
Head-to-head record
This fixture has been dominated – to a degree – in recent times by United. The Red Devils are unbeaten in eight games vs Leeds, though could only muster a 2-2 draw in the previous Old Trafford edition. And lest we forget, the two sides played out a 1-1 draw at Elland Road earlier in the season.
Team news
Patrick Dorgu and Matthijs de Ligt will miss out for United here through injury, while Harry Maguire is serving a one-match suspension. Lisandro Martinez could make his long-awaited return, while Bryan Mbeumo and Benjamin Sesko are slight doubts.
From a Leeds perspective, Noah Okafor, Joe Rodon and Anton Stach are all unlikely to feature due to fitness issues, which is a bit of a blow for the visitors.
Manchester United vs Leeds Odds
*All odds are subject to change
United are big favourites to continue their impressive home run under Carrick, priced at 1.57. A Leeds victory is at odds of 4.80, while the draw is 3.78.
Manchester United vs Leeds Betting Tips
Both teams to score – Yes @ 1.70
This market has landed in four of the last five meetings between these teams, as well as in five of United’s previous six matches – two of those at Old Trafford. At a decent price, the selection looks well worth backing.
Total goals – Over 2.5 @ 1.65
Another pick which landed in United’s last two home games, and on Leeds’ previous three visits to the Theatre of Dreams. It is rarely a dull fixture!
To assist a goal – Bruno Fernandes @ 2.65
Fernandes is closing in on the record for assists in a single Premier League season. The Portuguese star has already tallied 16, four of them coming in his last four top-flight appearances. With his prowess at set-pieces going up another level in recent times, Fernandes can weave more creative magic against Leeds.
