Already a huge game whenever they meet, Manchester United cross the Pennines under immense pressure as they take on an always competitive Leeds United at Elland Road.

Daniel Farke has evolved his side from being one of the most fluent teams as they won the Championship into one that is extremely awkward to play against and difficult to beat.

They were left frustrated at the home of the Premier League champions Arsenal last week as they succumbed to a 2-1 loss after being a goal up until Bruno Guimaraes completed the Gunners’ turnaround against the spirited Yorkshiremen.

Man United head into this one on the back of a 2-0 loss to Atletico Madrid in the Champions League and dealing with the fallout from comments made by Lisandro Martinez after the game in which he more or less criticised the running of the club.

That result has continued to turn up the heat on Michael Carrick with the Red Devils having won just two of their nine matches across all competitions this season.

Leeds vs. Man United prediction

We think Leeds will continue to pile the pressure on Carrick.

Effective on the counter-attack and from set-pieces, Leeds can swarm and overwhelm teams at Elland Road, as shown by their standout performance of the season — a 4-1 defeat of Newcastle United last month.

That type of intensity and aggression is not really what you want to be up against when you are licking your wounds and lacking any real cohesion or identity. Leeds winning feels like a good bet here.

Score Prediction: Leeds 2, Man United 0 (+1400 at bet365)

Leeds vs. Man United best bets

We’ve picked four betting angles for Leeds vs. Man United.

England international striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin was paramount to that hammering of Newcastle and his physicality will be an immense test for a weak United back line.

Calvert-Lewin has reignited his career in the top flight since joining on a free transfer from Everton, and he seems a good bet to score as Leeds pressurise their visitors.

Aggressive in the middle of the park, Anton Stach has been instrumental since joining last summer and the Leeds midfielder will again seek to disrupt any rhythm Man United try to find here, with a couple of fouls from the German a good bet.

Likely to move back to a more central role at Elland Road, it has been a theme of United’s last half a decade that Bruno Fernandes can be quite petulant when things go the wrong way, and backing him to make at least one foul feels very solid.
