Manchester United (home)
- Manchester United have won two and drawn one of their last three Premier League home matches.
- United arrive in decent form, losing just one of their last five Premier League outings (W3, D1, L1), and they have lost just two of their 15 home games in the top tier, winning ten and drawing three.
- Carrick’s men have also scored 30 goals in those 15 home matches.
Leeds United (away)
- Leeds United have drawn their last two Premier League matches 0-0 and are winless in their last five in the league.
- Daniel Farke’s side have been inconsistent since he took over in July 2023, but one thing has remained consistent - their possession-based style and ability to set up in different shapes to stifle their opponents.
- Leeds United have scored an average of 1.00 goals per-game on the road in the Premier League, while they’ve conceded 1.87.
Head-to-Head
The home side have won two and drawn one of the last three head-to-head matchups, and Leeds are winless in their last two at this ground.
Key Players
- Manchester United
- Benjamin Sesko leads United’s scoring charts with nine Premier League goals in 26 appearances, three of which came in the last five games.
- Leeds United
- Dominic Calvert-Lewin has netted ten times in 28 league appearances and leads the scoring charts for his side.
Betting Insights
- With odds of 1.58 for a home victory, 1.7 for Over 2.5 goals, and 1.73 for Both Teams to Score - Yes, the bookies are heavily on the side of the home team in this one, but Leeds should get on the scoresheet.
- With Bruno Fernandes providing the fuel to Manchester United’s attacking machine (four assists in five league appearances), backing him to get on the score-sheet alongside Calvert-Lewin is a strong play.
Prediction
- Carrick’s Red Devils are likely to take the win in this Premier League showdown (3rd in the table with 55 points from 31 games vs Leeds’ 33).
- The hosts’ pressing game could work against Leeds’ patient build-up play, so an entertaining, end-to-end encounter is likely.
