Manchester United - Leeds: Form Analysis
Manchester United has been incredible since the World Cup break, winning 11 of their 13 matches in all competitions since the restart, along with one draw, and a solitary loss to league leaders Arsenal, which could have gone either way but for a late VAR decision. The Red Devils have moved into third place in the league with 42 points in 21 matches, three points behind Manchester City and eight behind Arsenal at the top of the league. Since the appointment of Jesse Marsch, Leeds has looked better, but the results tell a different story. After losing 1-0 to Nottingham Forest in their last match, Leeds extended their winless run in the league to seven matches, including three draws and four losses. Leeds are 17th in the Premier League standings, level on points with Everton in the relegation zone, and just three points above Southampton at the foot of the table. Monday saw them sack their head coach Jesse Marsch.

Manchester United & Leeds Squad Analysis
After a controversial VAR intervention which eventually resulted in a straight red card, Casemiro will miss out on the next three matches for Man United, starting with this one. With Scott Mctominay not 100% fit, we could see the debut of summer signing Marcel Sabitzer alongside Fred at the heart of United’s midfield in this match. Christian Eriksen and Donny van de Beek are likely to be out for a few more months, while Anthony Martial could make an appearance as he works his way back to full fitness. Leeds still has a number of long-term absentees, including Gray, Rodrigo, Dallas, Perkins, and Forshaw, who will all be unavailable for this match. Crysencio Summerville managed to get a few minutes under his belt against Forest in the last match and will be pushing for a start in this one.

Our Manchester United vs Leeds Prediction
Despite their difficulties this season, Leeds have continued to play their usual attacking style of football which has left them exposed at the back far too often already. They come up against a Man United side led by an in-form Marcus Rashford, who is the league’s highest scorer since the World Cup break. With both Arsenal and Man City dropping points in their respective matches over the weekend, this is a perfect opportunity for the Red Devils to pull three points closer to the league leaders and reduce their goal deficit as well. Our Manchester United v Leeds prediction is a win for the hosts and over 2.5 goals.
