Manchester Utd – Leeds Utd

Manchester United are unlikely to face any difficulties in their next meeting with Leeds

Manchester United v Leeds in the eighth round of the Premier League was one of many that were postponed in September due to the funeral of Queen Elizabeth II. By then, the Mancunians had already recovered from their opening defeats in the league, while Marsh's side, on the other hand, had begun to lose and slide down the standings after a very successful start to the season. Both clubs are now certain of their goals and options for the current Premier League campaign. Manchester United are prioritising a place in the Champions League zone, while Leeds are aiming to retain their place in the elite English division. The bookmakers have decided that Manchester United are the clear favourites to win the encounter, with betting odds of 1.50 to win. After Ronaldo's departure and the resumption of the club's football season, Manchester United have emerged as a completely different, higher-level side. Since their first official fixture in December, they have notched up seven straight victories, culminating in a vendetta in the first leg of the Mancunivan derby. The Red Devils have played a total of thirteen games since the Mundial, losing only to Arsenal at the Emirates and drawing only with Crystal Palace - also in London. And both of those unbeaten results were due to their opponents scoring in the final minutes. Leeds United started the league with seven points from a possible nine. Chelsea suffered a similar setback as they lost 0-3 at Elland Road. Another thing is that the successful start was followed by a streak of eight games without a win, six of which were lost. Leeds' troubles continue to this day. For example, in the last round, the team lost away to Nottingham Forest with a score of 0-1. Marsh's side are now in last place in the Championship before the relegation zone, but Everton, who are in the red zone, are only ahead by extra points. In their two previous meetings with Leeds, Manchester United have scored a combined total of nine goals in two wins over their rivals. In the upcoming encounter, they are also the clear favourites. Likely, the Mancunians will not leave the visitors a chance.
