Prediction
Leeds head to Old Trafford having failed to win their last six Premier League games, while their away record has been a concern all season.
Daniel Farke’s side has won one away league game this season, and that came at bottom side Wolves back in September.
The visitors have shown some fight on the road of late, with both teams scoring in seven of their last eight trips across all competitions.
Leeds should find some joy against this United side, despite the hosts’ good record since Michael Carrick took charge. He has helped them surge into the Champions League spots, but the Red Devils have still conceded in seven of their 10 games under their interim boss.
Across the entire campaign, United have struggled to keep the league’s strugglers quiet. Nine of their 10 meetings with the bottom six have seen both teams score.
United have won all five home games under Carrick’s watch, but they have conceded in three of their last four home matches. The Red Devils have also dropped only two points at home to bottom-half teams this season, despite their early struggles under Ruben Amorim.
Leeds have been better going forward than their four-game run without a goal in the league suggests. They have won the xG battle in their last three, and can score a consolation goal as the Red Devils continue their impressive run in 2026.
