Manchester United faces Leeds United as they travel to Elland Road on the 25th of April in search of a victory.
Manchester United will look for a win as they are in rich form. They have already won five games in a trot and have closed the gap to 11 points with leaders and rivals Manchester City. The Last meeting between the two was a nightmare for Leeds. United thrashed them 6-2 as United attackers went all out against their defense. Scott McTominay was our star man of the show as Leeds had no answer for their performance.
Leeds as of late has been showing quality performances as they held on against Liverpool and grabbed a vital point and even defeated Manchester City two weeks back by a 2-1 scoreline as Dallas scored the late goal.

Manchester United will be aware of the fast-paced game that Marcelo Bielsa and his team like to play. With the majority of the Red’s players fit and firing, Solksjaer will most likely option to play a high-quality attacking football and not take any match for granted from this stage.
The latest Super League drama has created a mockery among the fans with several United fans protesting against the club’s participation in the so-called- ‘The Lust League’. This result will be important for their players and the fans considering that everyone had gone through a hard time fighting for the club and its future.

Manchester United:
As stated on the club’s official site, Manchester United have most of their players up and firing for the team. Solksjaer will look to play with the same crew as they did in the past few games. Bailly has returned to the United squad but his inclusion will be a major doubt. We likewise expect Phil Jones to be out for sure. Anthony Martial too suffered an injury during the International break and is unlikely to play this season.
Injured: Anthony Martial, Phil Jones
Doubt: Eric Bailly
Leeds United:
Injured: Adam Forshaw
Major Doubts: Raphinha, Rodrigo
Suspended: Liam Cooper
Opposition Key Man: Patrick Bamford
Bamford has been the main threat as Bielsa is a huge fan of the powerful striker. His shooting accuracy is thunderous and has been mocking defenders with his positioning. He has already scored 14 goals and assisted a further 8 in 32 appearances for Bielsa’s side in the Premier League. He has played the majority of the minutes for his side and will be a threat to watch for the United defenders. Maguire vs Bamford contest will be a must-watch affair.
Our Prediction:
We go for a 3-1 scoreline with United defeating Leeds and it will be a thrilling contest to watch. Don’t miss the game for sure.
