Leeds United vs Manchester United Match Overview – 04.01.2026

The Premier League matches continue even in the first days of the New Year. On Sunday Leeds United will host Manchester United at the Elland Road in Leeds. This is a fixture between two big historic rivals in the history of English football. Let’s preview it in our predicting correct scores in football matches.

Leeds United approach this clash after stealing a point against Liverpool at the Anfield. The Peacocks started the New Year with a 0-0 draw against the current champion. Now this gives them an even bigger confidence before facing United.

Meanwhile Manchester United once again brought some serious disappointment to their fans. Ruben Amorim’s team faced the weakest team in the league this season – Wolves, but only got a point at home at the Old Trafford.

Leeds United News & Analysis

Leeds’ 0-0 draw against Liverpool at the Anfield proved that Daniel Farke’s team is tough to beat at this moment. The Peacocks are now in a run of six consecutive matches without a defeat in the Premier League. Because of that Leeds are 7 points above the relegation zone. That’s not bad, but at this point it’s not enough, too.

Most probably Farke won’t be making many changes compared to the line-up against Liverpool. Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Noah Okofor could be in contention to start, though – Leeds needs to look for goals here, playing at their home ground.

Manchester United News & Analysis

Manchester United’s manager Ruben Amorim is once again finding himself under some serious pressure. The 1-1 draw against Wolves was welcomed as a huge failure for the Red Devils. The Portuguese manager led the team to just one win in United’s last four games in the league. The club continues to struggle, and the fans are getting more and more impatient.

Now Ruben Amorim has to analyse what went wrong against Wolverhampton and find a solution for the next match. He still can’t use many of his injured players such as Mbeumo, Mount, Fernandes, Diallo and De Ligt. This is giving him some serious trouble as well.

Leny Yoro could return in Manchester United’s line-up against Leeds. The French center-back played as a substitute against Wolves, but his qualities will be needed at the Elland Road.
