THE LOWDOWN
LEEDS UTD
- Leeds Utd find themselves looking over their shoulders again after losing comprehensively away at Everton last time out, meaning that Marcelo Bielsa’s side have now picked up just one point from the last nine available to them.
- The versatile Stuart Dallas is a big doubt for the visit of bitter rivals Man Utd, whilst both Patrick Bamford and Kalvin Phillips are already set to miss out.
MAN UTD
- Man Utd bounced back after being held by Southampton last weekend by overcoming Brighton 2-0 at Old Trafford this past Tuesday to leapfrog West Ham into the top four, although they did make hard work of it.
- Raphael Varane is expected to return to the starting line-up following illness but Ralph Rangnick will be without striker Edinson Cavani as the Uruguayan is still struggling to shake off his groin problem.

THE PREDICTION
Elland Road is expected to be absolutely rocking as one of the great fixtures in English football between Leeds Utd and Man Utd finally plays host to a capacity crowd in Yorkshire, after the Covid-19 pandemic denied us of that last season. Although the hosts come into this one in poor form and on the back of conceding three goals in successive Premier League games, the power of a fired-up home crowd is not to be underestimated and the Leeds Utd players are expected to respond, raising their levels of performance and looking to attack Man Utd at every opportunity. However, the visitors were boosted by both Cristiano Ronaldo and Bruno Fernandes scoring against Brighton and against a team with the defensive fragility of Leeds, it would be no surprise if both were afforded a number of further chances to find the net at Elland Road. When taking into account the injuries currently hampering Leeds, Man Utd are better equipped to cope with the magnitude of this encounter and are worth backing to come out on top, albeit via the safety of the draw no bet market.
Tip: MAN UTD DRAW NO BET
