Manchester United form and stats

Manchester United's results here at Old Trafford in the Premier League have been very modest with 1 victory, 2 draws and 3 defeats.

Happy days for Manchester in their previous game, a Premier League match away at Sheffield United (placed 20th) that ended with a 3-2 victory. In the match before that, Manchester United hosted Manchester City and drew the game 0-0.

The hosts are favourites to win this game, with an estimated chance of about 55-60% of that outcome. Earlier Manchester matches with similar probabilities have ended with one win, zero draws and zero defeats (from one game).

There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Manchester as they are travelling to their away game against Everton in the Carabao Cup. That match is three days after this one.

Manchester United has huge difficulties finding the net and are scoring on average only once per two home matches in the league: 3 goals from 6 games. Manchester have conceded 10 from these games.

Leeds United form and stats

3 wins, 0 draws and 3 losses. That’s the product of Leeds United playing as the away team in the Premier League this season.

Leeds won their last game, 5-2 versus Newcastle United played at home. A loss against West Ham United was the result prior to that, in a home game.

A crazy, crazy match with lots of goals last time out for Leeds, as mentioned above. 7 goals in that one, will this match be as much fun?

Leeds are not goal shy away from home in the league, finding the net 10 times in 6 away games so far. Leeds have conceded 11 goals in these games.

Head 2 Head

Numbers for the last three meetings between these two teams are: two wins for Manchester, zero draws and one win for Leeds United. Over 2,5 goals: two times; under 2,5 goals: one game.
