Data provided by

Anthony Eadson’s Leeds United vs Manchester United predictions, best bets and score prediction are below.

Premium Tips

This is as close to a coin toss as the card gets, but home advantage tips the balance towards Leeds.

Premium TipOddsWhy we’re backing it
Leeds United draw no bet8/11 (William Hill)Leeds have lost only once all season and are unbeaten in three at Elland Road, a ground that has already proved a tough place to visit. Manchester United, by contrast, are 13th and still without an away win, having drawn two and lost one of their three trips. The visitors have blown hot and cold, and a lively home crowd should lift Leeds. Draw no bet protects against the stalemate while backing the side in the stronger position, which looks the smart play.
Bruno Fernandes to score anytime5/2 (bet365)If Man Utd are to get something here, Fernandes will likely be central to it. He has three goals already and takes Man Utd’s set-pieces and spot-kicks from midfield. Leeds have kept only two clean sheets, so chances should fall his way across 90 minutes. Man Utd have scored in four of their six games, so even in a game we expect Leeds to edge, the captain carries a genuine goal threat. At 5/2 for him to find the net, there is plenty to like.
