Leeds host struggling Manchester United knowing they are the favorites to win this game against their bitter rivals.
Man United are all over the place and after their poor performance at home against Spurs last weekend they followed it up with a woeful display in their midweek loss at Atletico Madrid.
After that defeat Lisandro Martinez came out and attacked United’s hierarchy, in particular sporting director Jason Wilcox, and has since been fined by the club and has apologized for his actions. All is not well and Michael Carrick could really use a big win, and solid performance, to get United back on track as they search for a second league win of the campaign.
On the flip side Daniel Farke’s Leeds have been solid, reliable and tough to beat. Their first defeat of the season came at Arsenal last weekend as they led in the second half before succumbing to the Gunners’ quality late on.
For Leeds the fitness and form of Dominic Calvert-Lewin up front has been so important to the way they play. They have also been very good defensively and key summer signings James Trafford and Tarik Muharemovic have settled in really well.
Here’s the preview in full for you to enjoy before the match.
