Leeds v Manchester United: match preview

Manchester United v Leeds
Manchester United v Leeds: probable starters in bold, contenders in light Illustration: x

More than 16 years have passed since a 1-1 draw at Elland Road and the last time Manchester United played Leeds United in the Premier League. Marcelo Bielsa’s side arrive in 13th, seven places and six points behind an Ole Gunnar Solskjær team that are unbeaten in six matches (five of these wins) and rising towards the top. Both managers like to play the expansive stuff so this may prove a festive cracker to warm the cockles. Jamie Jackson
