LiontipsManchester United vs Leeds United. Prediction and Betting Tips for 2022-23 English Premier League (February 8, 2023).
Command Analysis
Meetings between Manchester United and Leeds have always been considered one of the hottest matches in England. This will be the 112th game between the two sides. Man United have won 49 games, and Erik ten Hag's men will obviously strive to make it 50. However, they will have to do that without Casemiro, which is a problem - MU lost three out of four games since the player was injured.
Nevertheless, the Red Devils are optimistic. They won the last 13 games at Old Trafford and haven't lost in 17. Currently, Man United are in 3rd place in the Premier League standings, seven points behind Arsenal.
Today the home team will have to cope without McTominay, van de Beek, Martial, Eriksen, and Casemiro.
Leeds United, on the other hand, have to fight for survival. With every game, the team is sinking deeper and deeper, and at the moment, the Whites are hovering above the relegation zone with just 18 points to their name.
After the defeat to Nottingham Forest (0:1) in the last match, the club sacked Jesse Marsch. The main reason for that - only two victories in the last 17 games, both in the FA Cup over Cardiff City (5:2) and Accrington (3:1). At the moment of writing, we do not yet know the name of the new manager. But whoever it may be, the Peacocks will have to put their best foot forward to get a decent result tonight - they haven't won at Old Trafford since 1981.
Perkins, Rodrigo, Gray, Forshaw, and Dallas have been ruled out of this game.
