    Leeds United - v - Manchester United ***Matchday Thread***



    TEAM NEWS

    Leeds boss Marcelo Bielsa has revealed winger Raphinha is struggling to recover in time from the thigh injury he sustained against Manchester City.

    Rodrigo remains out with a muscle problem, while captain Liam Cooper is serving a three-match ban.

    Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford is still nursing a foot injury but he could be involved despite not training during the week.

    Eric Bailly is in contention after recovering from Covid-19.

    Manchester United smashed Leeds 6-2 at Old Trafford earlier in the season but I think it will be much closer this time.

    Leeds have gone five games unbeaten, and have taken points off teams like Chelsea, Manchester City and Liverpool in that time, but Manchester United are on a good run themselves, with five straight wins in all competitions since they went out of the FA Cup to Leicester.

    MATCH FACTS

    Head-to-head

    This will be their first Premier League meeting at Elland Road since October 2003. Leeds' last victory over Manchester United in the Premier League was 1-0 at home in September 2002.

    Leeds United

    Leeds could go six consecutive Premier League matches unbeaten for the first time since 2002.That unbeaten run was halted by a 4-3 home defeat to Manchester United, which included two goals from Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

    They have lost just once at home in their past six league games (W3, D2).Diego Llorente's equaliser against Liverpool on Monday night was the 100th goal to be scored in a Leeds Premier League game this season. They have both scored and conceded 50.

    Stuart Dallas has scored against Manchester City and Manchester United this season. The last Leeds player to score in three separate matches against the Manchester clubs in one season was Peter Lorimer in 1971-72.

    Manchester United

    Manchester United have earned five straight league victories for the first time since winning Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's first six games in charge between December 2018 and January 2019.

    Their club record run of 23 away matches without defeat in the Premier League is only bettered in top-flight history by Arsenal, who managed 27 between April 2003 and September 2004.United's 12-match unbeaten league streak is currently the longest in the division, followed by Leeds' five games.

    This will be Solskjaer's 300th league fixture as a manager. He has won 152 of his 299 games so far.Paul Pogba's senior club debut was at Elland Road in a 3-0 League Cup win in September 2011.

    Mason Greenwood could become the first ****ager to score in four consecutive Premier League appearances since Francis Jeffers in 2000.

    2 - 1.

    Annoying as the one at the start of the season that Liverpool got was far less blatant

    Passing is poor on the right (Aylings right foot appears to be on backwards)
