Leeds vs Manchester United Prediction & Betting Tips - Premier League
by Joseph King | in Premier League Prediction
Leeds and Manchester United face off for the second time in four days when the two teams meet at Elland Road to contest matchday 23 in the English Premier League. The first contest between the two would end in a 2-2 draw; a valuable point for Leeds as they fight against relegation but a disappointing result for United as they look to hold off both Newcastle and Tottenham for third-place. Leeds now sit 16th in the standings with 19 points from 21 matches while Manchester United occupy third in the table with 43 points.

Leeds - Manchester United: Form Analysis
Leeds squandered a two goal advantage in their first encounter with Manchester United on Wednesday, but should ultimately be pleased with the result and the performance as they would have likely torn your hand off if offered a point before the fixture. It was the first match since the sacking of American manager Jesse Marsch and the Leeds players showed good heart and character to give interim manager Michael Skubala a gutsy performance. The result means that the Peacocks have now lost only one of their last five matches across all competitions as they look to build some momentum to avoid the drop with less than half of the season remaining.
On the other side, Manchester United will be eager to get back to winning ways after disappointingly going down 2-0 in 48 minutes in their first encounter with Leeds. Despite bravely battling back to earn a 2-2 draw, the result was a surprise given how dominant the Red Devils have been at Old Trafford this season. The draw snapped a four match winning streak across all competitions as well as an extremely impressive 13 match winning run at home. The goals have been flowing for Erik ten Hag’s side as United have now scored 32 goals in their 14 matches since returning from the World Cup break.

Leeds & Manchester United Squad Analysis
Leeds suffered a few injuries to key players in the 2-2 draw against United on Wednesday and lost winger Luis Sinisterra as well as defender Pascal Sruijk, both of whom will miss out here. The injuries are just the latest in a growing list of unavailable players for the Peacocks who are also missing key pieces such as Rodrigo, Liam Cooper and Marc Roca. New signing Weston McKennie had a solid debut in his last match and is sure to get the nod in this one.
For the visitors, manager Erik ten Hag will be unable to call upon the services of crucial defensive midfielder Casemiro as well as influential playmaker Christian Eriksen. Explosive winger Antony is likely to miss out as well as midfielders Donny van de Beek, Scott McTominay and striker Anthony Martial. Expect the in-form Marcus Rashford to be the key attacking threat for the Red Devils who will be supported by Bruno Fernandes, Jadon Sancho and Wout Weghorst up top to round out the visitors’ attacking quartet.

Our Leeds vs Manchester United Prediction
This certainly has the potential to be a tricky fixture for Manchester United taking into context the week that Leeds United is having. The new manager bounce looked to be in full effect for Leeds in the first 50 minutes of their trip to Old Trafford and it will be interesting to see whether or not that form carries over to what is likely to be a fired-up crowd at Elland Road. Both teams are suffering from some injury problems but the absence of Casemiro and Eriksen could be crucial in determining the outcome of this match.
