Leeds United have now gone three games without a win, with their most recent home game culminating in a 1-0 loss to a resurgent Newcastle United. They've lost twice as many home games in the last three weeks as they had in the previous 14 games combined. They must start winning at home, since any additional losses would put them in danger of sliding into the dreaded relegation zone. Leeds United could scarcely have made a better choice a more difficult opponent than Manchester United.
Manchester United will be encouraged by their recent 2-0 win over Brighton, in which they put up one of their greatest performances. It ended a streak of two draws in a row. United has gone unbeaten on the road in all competitions in their past seven games. This season, they had a fantastic away record, losing only twice on the road while losing four times at Old Trafford.
They'll be pleased with Jadon Sancho's recent form, as he has scored twice in his past four appearances. United are hoping to complete the league double over Leeds for the first time since the 1999/00 season, after winning the reverse encounter 2-1.
SUMMARY:
Leeds will want to shore up their defense after surrendering 26 goals in their previous nine games. United's strikers will be put to the test against Leeds' defense. Because both clubs are infamous for struggling to keep clean sheets, this match might be filled with goals. This game will be a draw.
KICKOFF TIME: The Manchester United vs. Leeds United match will kick off at 06 p.m. Kenyan time on Sunday.
