Leeds vs Man Utd preview

It's an unusual scenario that has played out this week, resulting in Leeds and Man Utd facing off twice in the league in just five days.

Wednesday night's meeting at Old Trafford was a rearranged fixture and that gap in the schedule was the only suitable option.

What is does mean, is the teams will have sussed one another out, which could make for an intriguing battle.

Man Utd were again being talked about in the title race prior to the 2-2 draw the other night.

A disappointing result for the hosts could have been so much worse, having fought back from 2-0 down.

United will know they have to do better, with Leeds looking a different prospect already following Jesse Marsch's departure.

United sit in third but have played more games than those round about them, handing their initiative to other sides in the title and top four races.

That point for Leeds took them a point clear of the drop zone and will hope home advantage will count more for them this time.

Team News

Casemiro sits this one out again as he serves the second of his three-game ban.

Marcel Sabitzer started in his absence in midweek and could do so again.

Jadon Sancho is in line for a start after his lively contribution when coming off the bench, including bagging the equaliser.

Wout Weghorst and Alejandro Garnacho were hooked before the hour-mark so could see their starting positions under threat.

Luis Sinisterra and Pascal Struijk both had to leave the field with injuries inside the opening quarter of the game so are both a doubt for this one.

Wilfried Gnonto's stock continues to rise after the opening goal in midweek and will be Leeds' danger man once more.

Patrick Bamford again lasted an hour as he continues his comeback following a lengthy injury.

SunSport tips

  • Manchester Utd and Over 3.5 Goals in match - 7/2 with Sky Bet - CLAIM HERE
  • Jadon Sancho to score & Man Utd to win - 5/1 with Sky Bet - CLAIM HERE

It's clear that goals are in both of these sides, as Wednesday proved.

Man Utd can bounce back from that though and we reckon they will secure a win this time around.

Sancho is set to start the game and could prove a big influence after his recent fitness issues.

United at 17/20 is a very decent price for a Sunday acca too.

What the managers have said

Man Utd boss Erik ten Hag was thrilled with Jadon Sancho's impact off the bench in midweek and encouraged him to keep working hard.

He said: “I am very happy. He’s all the way back. We know he’s a magnificent player. I think consistently he can have a big impact.

"But he has to work hard. It will motivate him to get more. I really enjoyed it, especially for him. It will strengthen him.

“He is a brilliant footballer and if he can invest in the right levels he can be outstanding. We now have a team that can play in the opponent’s half, he likes that, he can play in tight areas.”

Leeds caretaker Michael Skubala spoke after the midweek game and insisted he had no idea if he'd be in charge by the time the return game came around.

He said: “I’ve been really busy just looking after this job for the last few days.

“That’s up to other people to decide. If I’m called upon then I just want to help the club in the best way I can."
