The Red Devils Look To Maintain Winning Streak At Home | Team News, Injuries and Predicted Lineup – Man United vs Leeds United

Manchester United vs Leeds United

Let’s take a look at the team news as an in-form Man United host the struggling Leeds United at Old Trafford. The Red Devils will look to maintain their winning streak, having won last four of their games in all competitions since their defeat against Arsenal. They aim to reduce the gap between themselves and the top two clubs who have recently suffered losses.

The Red Devils secured a victory against Crystal Palace, with an early goal from Bruno Fernandes’s penalty and Marcus Rashford’s 10th Premier League goal of the season. Despite a late goal from Jeffrey Schlupp, the Red Devils held on to the win.

Erik ten Hag’s men have won all of their last 13 home games, with at least two goals scored in each of those 12 matches and a league-best defensive record of just six goals conceded at Old Trafford. Leeds, on the other hand, are coming off a loss against Nottingham Forest and have won only one out of their last ten league games, leaving them in 17th place.

Man United have won 6-2 and 5-1 the last two times they hosted Leeds United at Old Trafford, and in their most recent meeting, Man United emerged victorious with a 4-2 win at Elland Road in February.

Injury/Suspension List:

Casemiro was sent off for placing his hands on Will Hughes’s throat after a fight broke out caused by a late challenge from Schlupp on Antony. As a result, the Brazilian will miss the match against Leeds, the first of a three-match suspension.

With Scott McTominay still regaining his fitness, Marcel Sabitzer may make his full debut for the hosts, who have Diogo Dalot available once again. Meanwhile, loanee Jack Butland is eligible to play. Anthony Martial, Donny van de Beek, and Christian Eriksen are still in the treatment room.

Leeds’ Robin Koch will return from his ban for the match. Rodrigo Moreno will be a huge miss for the Whites along with Archie Gray, Stuart Dallas, Sonny Perkins and Adam Forshaw. Record signing Georginio Rutter and Brenden Aaronson will be looking for some game-time in their absence.

Player To Watch Out For – Patrick Bamford

With main man Rodrigo sidelined for 2 months with an ankle injury, Patrick Bamford will become the important man to lead the Leeds frontline. He definitely has the ability to score goals as we saw him in the end of the 2020-21 season with 17 goals and 8 assists (stats via Transfermarkt).

He is known for his technical abilities, particularly his dribbling skills, finishing, and hold-up play. Bamford is also recognized for his smart movement and positioning, which allows him to create space and opportunities for himself and his teammates. He has a keen eye for goal and is a clinical finisher. His skills, combined with his intelligence and work rate, make him a valuable asset to his team.

Manchester United Probable Line-up (4-2-3-1):

David de Gea(GK); Aaron Wan-Bissaka(RB), Raphael Varane(CB), Lisandro Martinez(CB), Tyrell Malacia(LB); Marcel Sabitzer(CM), Fred(CM); Antony(RW), Marcus Rashford(LW), Bruno Fernandes(CAM); Wout Weghorst(ST).

Predicted Score: Man United 2-0 Leeds United

Man United are heavy favourites going into this game, boasting an impressive record against Leeds United and having remained undefeated in their last seven league matches. The Red Devils are also in good form, with a strong record of scoring in nearly every match.

Leeds have won only four games this season and have struggled to find the back of the net, leading many to predict a comfortable win for the Red Devils. Despite this, the match between these two teams has a history of being high-scoring and entertaining, and we can never totally rule out an upset.
