Manchester United are currently unbeaten in their last 18 home league games against Leeds United, boasting an impressive record of 11 wins and 7 draws since February 1981. As they prepare for their next encounter, the team has lost just one of their last 20 league games against Leeds, winning 12 and drawing 7.
Leeds United, on the other hand, are aiming to avoid the embarrassment of losing both league meetings with Manchester United in a season for the first time since the 1994-95 season. The team has struggled recently, failing to score in their last four Premier League games, marking the longest ongoing drought this season.
Manchester United’s recent form has been solid, with only one loss in their last 14 Premier League games since Christmas Day, achieving 8 wins and 5 draws. Under the management of Michael Carrick, the team has won all six of their Premier League games at Old Trafford.
Bruno Fernandes has been a standout player for Manchester United, contributing to eight goals in just six Premier League appearances against Leeds, with 6 goals and 2 assists. This season, he has created an impressive 101 chances in the Premier League, marking the third time he has surpassed the 100-chance mark in a single campaign.
Leeds United’s recent away form has been less than stellar, with the team drawing seven of their last eight away games in the Premier League, losing only once. Chris Sutton, a noted football analyst, praised the job done by Leeds manager Daniel Farke, stating, “I love the job Daniel Farke has done at Leeds United.”
Sutton also highlighted the turnaround at Manchester United under Carrick, saying, “Michael Carrick has really turned Manchester United around, to the extent where they are basically nailed on for Champions League football next season.” He expressed confidence in a home win, predicting a scoreline of 2-1, with Fernandes playing a crucial role.
As the teams prepare to face off, observers will be keen to see if Leeds can break their scoring drought and if Manchester United can continue their strong home form. Details remain unconfirmed regarding the exact date and location of the match.
