MATCH FACTS

Head-to-head

Leeds have won just one of the past 18 Premier League meetings - a 1-0 triumph at Elland Road in 2002 (D6, L11).

The Whites are in danger of suffering consecutive home league defeats against Manchester United for the first time since 1976.

Leeds United

Leeds could equal their club record of nine Premier League games without a win in the same season, set in 1997.

They have won just two of their last 18 league matches (D6, L10).

The Yorkshire side have dropped 15 points from winning positions this season, the second most of any team in the league behind Leicester.

However, a win would equal their tally of four home victories in the whole of last season.

Wilfried Gnonto could become the third Leeds player to score home and away against Manchester United, emulating Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink and Mark Viduka.

Crysencio Summerville has three goals and an assist in his last five Premier League starts.
Manchester United

Manchester United have won just one of their last four Premier League matches (D2, L1), having won each of the previous four.

United are one short of their total of six away league victories last season.

All five of their away wins this campaign have been by a single-goal margin.

The Red Devils are on a run of five consecutive Premier League games without a clean sheet.

Marcus Rashford has scored 12 goals in 14 appearances since the World Cup - the most of any player in that period across the top five European leagues.

Bruno Fernandes' next league goal will be the 100th of his career.

David De Gea is poised to become the first non-British player, and first goalkeeper, to make 400 Premier League appearances for one club.

2 - 2.

MOT.

Firpo is starting. I feel sick.

Lack of choice for that particular position.

[Billyni]

We probably need to go 3 or 4 nil up, before we can think of a win.

[LeedsFTW]

Firpo is starting. I feel sick.

Played well last game, maybe he has a more clear defined role now which plays to his strengths.
