Leeds vs Man United EPL prediction: Match preview, team news, current form & h2h

Leeds United are looking to continue their promising start to the English Premier League season when they host Manchester United on Sunday.

Daniel Farke’s Leeds have collected nine points from their opening six league matches and impressed despite a 2–1 defeat to Arsenal in their last outing.

They also suffered a 2–0 Champions League defeat to Atlético Madrid during the week, adding to the pressure on manager Michael Carrick.

With both sides coming into this game after defeats, it sets this up to be a potentially mouthwatering fixture.

Leeds beat United 2–1 at Old Trafford in April, with Noah Okafor scoring twice, and will be eager to repeat that result in front of their home supporters.

Can Man United bounce back to get their revenge or will the home side make it back-to-back wins against their opponents? Here is our predicted outcome of the game.

The game kicks off at 4PM E.A.T at Elland Road

The home teams’ biggest concern is the absence of centre-back Joe Rodon, who has been ruled out with a hamstring injury.

Mateo Joseph is also unavailable, while former United winger Daniel James is a doubt with a back issue.

Leeds are expected to retain their XI that has featured in the opening six games with Dominic Calvert-Lewin leading the attacking line.

Okafor, the two-goal hero in the April win, will also be a key point of the Leeds attack.

As for the visitors, Kobie Mainoo and Luke Shaw are doubtful with minor injury concerns.

Noussair Mazraoui may earn a place in the lineup after resuming training last week, with Carlos Baleba also tipped to start.

The front three of Bruno Fernandes, Bryan Mbeumo and Mattheus Cunha have all the weight on their shoulders to inspire a positive result here.

Leeds beat United 2–1 at Old Trafford in April, with Okafor scoring twice, while the sides drew 1–1 in the corresponding fixture at Elland Road last season.

United last won at Elland Road in the Premier League in February 2023, when they secured a 2–0 victory.

Leeds are aiming to win consecutive league matches against United for the first time since the 1971–72 campaign.
