Predicted lineups: Leeds vs Manchester United
Leeds are without Rodon (hamstring) and Joseph (knee), and Farke is expected to keep the side that played at Arsenal. United are missing Šeško, Dorgu, Ugarte and Heaton, and Shaw, Mainoo and Mazraoui are doubts. The line-ups below follow ESPN’s prediction; Leeds‘ 3-5-2 is shown as a 3-4-3 in our graphic.
Leeds United Team News & Preview
Leeds lost 2-1 at Arsenal last weekend, but they were well organised and physical. Arsenal had one shot on target in the first half, Justin put Leeds ahead after 55 minutes, and it took a substitute to turn the game. Before that trip, Leeds had conceded only three league goals.
Farke’s side had a full week to prepare. They are direct, with more than 50 long balls per game, and Calvert-Lewin gives them a target up front.
What works for or against Leeds
- Unbeaten at home in the league.
- A full week of rest.
- Five league goals conceded in six games.
- Two draws in three home games.
Manchester United Team News & Preview
United lost 2-0 at Atlético on Tuesday, conceding after 50 seconds. Fernandes hit the bar, and Yoro was sent off in the 74th minute, but that ban applies only in Europe. It is now five games without a win in all competitions.
The mood is tense. Lisandro Martínez criticised director of football Jason Wilcox and then apologised. Carrick keeps the owners‘ backing but will be judged on results. United still take a lot of shots, around 20 per game, so they will create chances.
What works for or against Manchester United
- Five games without a win.
- Played in Madrid on Tuesday.
- Šeško, Dorgu and Ugarte out.
- Around 20 shots per game.

Leeds vs Manchester United: Prediction & Betting Tip
Leeds are unbeaten at home and have conceded five league goals in six games. United have not won in five, played in Madrid on Tuesday and are missing key players. With Draw No Bet, a draw returns my stake, so I like Leeds Draw No Bet at 1.65.
The one thing that gives me pause is United’s attacking quality. Fernandes, Mbeumo and Cunha can win a game on their own, and United take plenty of shots. Leeds have also drawn two of their three home games. That is why I prefer Draw No Bet to the outright home win.
I will be backing Leeds Draw No Bet at 1.65 with Winz. If I had to name a score, it would be 1-0.
