Leeds vs Manchester United prediction, odds and how to watch

Brighton won 3-2 at Old Trafford in the Carabao Cup, going two up inside ten minutes and holding firm despite United's greater share of possession and shots. United had more of everything that looks good on paper and still lost. That tells you everything.

Leeds put four past Newcastle United at Elland Road in a performance that was as ruthless as it was clinical. Newcastle never looked like they could live with it.

Manchester United travel to Elland Road on Sunday carrying decent away form but a worrying streak of inconsistency. Leeds are hard to beat at home. Something has to give.

Atletico Madrid limp into Tuesday's Champions League clash having won just once in their last five European outings. Manchester United arrive with a point to prove and, on this evidence, reason for cautious belief.

Michael Carrick has dismissed any suggestion his Manchester United job is under threat after defeats to Hull, Manchester City and a Carabao Cup collapse against Brighton, insisting internal pressure is 'not on the radar'. But United's history of sacking Erik ten Hag and Ruben Amorim inside 30 and 14 months respectively suggests his confidence may be tested sooner than he expects.

Pro Ref has admitted VAR made an error of judgement in allowing Erling Haaland's derby winner to stand against Manchester United, but the admission changes nothing on the scoreline or in the table, where City remain unbeaten and United sit with one win in four.

Enzo Maresca dismissed City's two extra rest days over United ahead of Sunday's derby, but the real story is a widening form gap: City unbeaten in three, United on four points, and Luke Shaw facing a late fitness test.
