Leeds United lost narrowly at Arsenal last weekend. They are seventh in the Premier League, six places and three points above the visitors Manchester United. Looking at the statistics for the Whites and the Red Devils, this season, goals are expected here and our prediction is BTTS.

United lost their unbeaten league record at the Emirates last weekend. They have won two of their six league games this season with three matches ending in draws. Home form has been good for them at Elland Road and they take on a Manchester United team who are not in the best of form at present.

United lost to Atletico Madrid in midweek. They are already 12 points behind league leaders Manchester City after just six games of the new season. Their coach Michael Carrick insists his team is in a good place, but just one league win is not leading their supporters to share that opinion.

Leeds - Manchester United: Form Analysis

Leeds United have only been beaten by Arsenal in this season's Premier League. That was a 2-1 away defeat in their most recent fixture. Unlike their opponents, they have had a break since that match as they are not playing in European competition this season.

United have won one of their three home league games this season. That was an impressive 4-1 victory over Newcastle United. Their other two league games played at Elland Road have both ended in draws. They drew 1-1 with Brentford and 0-0 with Crystal Palace.

Both teams have scored in four of their last five league games.

United desperately need three points.

Manchester United's disappointing start to the new season continued in midweek, losing away at Atletico Madrid.

The Reds have only won one league game this season, a home victory over Ipswich Town. On the road, United have earned two points from their three away league fixtures, most recently a 1-1 draw at Fulham. Two of their three away league fixtures have seen both teams get on the scoresheet.

The last three games played between these two clubs have all seen both teams score.

Leeds & Manchester United Squad Analysis

Former Manchester United player Daniel James is doubtful for Leeds. He has a back problem and this may come too soon for him. Also out of action for Leeds are Mateo Joseph and Joe Rodon, neither are fit enough to take part in training sessions at present.

Harry Wilson and Jean-Matteo Bahoy are back in training and could be in the squad for this game.

Martinez is available despite his recent comments.

Despite his recent negative comments about the club, Lisando Martinez is available for this trip to Leeds United. He wasn't in a good mood at all after the midweek loss at Atletico Madrid, not quite what United need at a time when they are in the bottom half of the Premier League.

Luke Shaw is always included in any team news for United with his continual battle against injury. He's being mentioned again as the England defender missed the midweek Champions League fixture. Kobbie Mainoo was also absent and they remain doubtful for this match.

United will be hoping that Bruno Fernandes will return to form. He's scored three league goals, but all in the win over Ipswich Town.

Our Leeds vs Manchester United Prediction

Leeds United have made a good start to the season, but they have failed to win either of their last two league fixtures. A home draw with Crystal Palace was followed by their first league loss of the season at Arsenal. This looks like being an open game between two sides both wanting a win.

Manchester United are only three points behind their opponents, but the same gap exists between them and the relegation zone. United have scored nine league goals this season, but conceded the same number. Our main Leeds v Manchester United prediction is BTTS.
