Manchester United vs Leeds United: Prediction, predicted line up for Premier League match

Manchester United aims to extend their 14-game winning streak at Old Trafford when they take on the Leeds Utd in a Premier League match at Old Trafford on Wednesday. This is the first of two meetings between the two teams in a week. Despite being down to 10 players, Erik ten Hag's team beat Crystal Palace 2-1, while Leeds suffered a 1-0 loss to Nottingham Forest, causing concern about their chances of avoiding relegation.

Man United's match against Crystal Palace was made difficult when they had to play the final 20 minutes with only 10 players, after midfielder Casemiro was red-carded for grabbing Will Hughes by the neck. Despite this setback, the team had already taken a two-goal lead with a penalty from Bruno Fernandes and Marcus Rashford's 10th Premier League goal of the season. Although Jeffrey Schlupp scored a late goal, Manchester United held on for the win.

The early season losses to Brentford and Brighton & Hove Albion now seem like a distant memory, as the team is in good position to secure Champions League football, sitting comfortably in third place in the Premier League table. After losing to Tottenham Hotspur, Manchester City is now just three points ahead of Man United.
