Leeds United face rivals Manchester United for a second this week, as they battle it out for the points at Elland Road on Sunday (2pm).

This Premier League clash follows on from a meeting at Old Trafford earlier in the week, where the two teams played out an entertaining 2-2 draw.

Willy Gnonto opened the scoring inside the opening minute and then Leeds doubled the advantage in the second half, before the hosts hit back through Marcus Rashford and Jadon Sancho to come away with a point.

Michael Skubala, Chris Armas and Paco Gallardo will continue to take control as a trio from the dugout for the Whites - coming up against Erik ten Hag and his side once again on the touchline.

Following results elsewhere in the league over the weekend, each side want to claim the maximum points from this game for different reasons when the match gets underway on Sunday afternoon.

The visitors are hoping to catch up with Arsenal and Manchester City ahead of them, whilst Leeds are hoping to put distance between themselves and the bottom three. Each team could move a place higher in the league with a result.

Leeds have drawn four out of their last six Premier League matches, so they will be hoping to return to winning ways. The Reds have won just the once in their last four games - further adding to the desire for both teams to go for the three points in this one.

Once again, Leeds will be without top-scorer Rodrigo, who scored in this fixture last season. For Man Utd, Marcus Rashford continues to lead their goalscoring charts and is more than likely to be involved in this one - he has 11 Premier League goals so far this season.

The match has been selected for live television coverage within the UK, on Sky Sports. For those not attending the game or able to watch on Sky Sports, you can stay right here on leedsunited.com to follow live updates throughout the 90 minutes, or listen to uninterrupted commentary on LUTV!
