Welcome to Leeds vs Man Utd
The fierce rivalry between these two clubs continues today with a game just as important to both teams in terms of being able to right some wrongs from their form of late.
Constant talk of rifts and disagreement in Rangnick’s squad will motivate the German to get his team to go out today and put in a performance to silence their critics.
Against Everton in their last game, Leeds really didn’t turn up and their form is dragging them towards a relegation battle no one expected this season after finishing 9th in their first season back in the top-flight.
There are murmurs of ‘second-season syndrome’ at Elland Road starting and Marcelo Bielsa will have a point to prove in front of the home faithful this afternoon.
Man Utd are the only side to have scored in all of their Premier League away fixtures this season, they last failed to score in a league away game against Leeds in April 2021.
Rangnick’s team are looking to complete their first league double over Leeds since the 1999-2000 campaign.
Daniel James could become the first player to score a Premier League goal for both clubs in this fixture.
Leeds have picked up only 13 points for 11 games at home this season, the fourth worst record in the division.
