Preview: Leeds vs Manchester United
Elland Road prepares for a fiery showdown this Sunday as Leeds United welcome Manchester United, with the historic Roses rivalry returning to the Premier League on January 4, 2026. Both teams are desperate for points, though for contrasting reasons. Leeds sit precariously in 16th place and are glancing nervously toward the relegation zone, while Ruben Amorim’s Manchester United are sixth and pushing for a Champions League berth. With form inconsistent on both sides, the contest promises intensity as much as intrigue.
Daniel Farke faces a tough challenge in lifting his Leeds squad after a frustrating 1-1 draw at Sunderland, another reminder of how demanding life back in the top flight has been. Still, the Whites have a focal point in Dominic Calvert-Lewin, who has scored eight goals and continues to shoulder the attacking burden. Leeds are expected to concede possession and look to strike quickly, using the physical presence of Calvert-Lewin and the direct running of Brenden Aaronson to unsettle a Manchester United defence that has struggled away from home.
Manchester United arrive under pressure following a disappointing draw with Wolves, with fans eager to see more consistency from Amorim’s side. While players like Bryan Mbeumo and Matheus Cunha have shown flashes of quality, United have often failed to dominate on the road or kill games off. Tactical discipline will be crucial, especially in a hostile Elland Road atmosphere that could expose any early nerves. If United survive the opening storm, their technical edge may tell, but this clash is about more than points—it’s about momentum in seasons that remain finely balanced for both clubs.
Leeds United Predicted Starting Lineup (3-5-2):
Perri; Bornauw, Bijol, Struijk; Justin, Gruev, Tanaka, Stach, Gudmundsson; Nmecha, Calvert-Lewin
Manchester United Predicted Starting Lineup (4-2-3-1):
Lammens; Dalot, Heaven, Martinez, Shaw; Casemiro, Ugarte; Dorgu, Zirkzee, Cunha; Sesko
