Leeds host struggling Manchester United at Elland Road
Leeds return to Elland Road on Sunday to face Manchester United in a Premier League fixture that pits a home side with modest momentum against visitors still searching for consistency. Leeds have won one, drawn two and lost two of their last five, while United have gone without a win in the same span, losing three and drawing two.
Recent meetings
The two clubs have met five times since July 2023, with the balance tilted narrowly in Leeds' favour. Their most recent Premier League encounter, in April 2026, ended 2-1 to Leeds at Old Trafford, while the reverse fixture in January finished level at 1-1 at Elland Road. A pre-season friendly in August also produced a 1-1 draw, continuing a pattern of tight contests between the sides.
What's at stake
With Leeds holding the slight edge in both head-to-head results and current form, this meeting offers United a chance to arrest a difficult run away from home, while Leeds will look to build on a sequence that has yielded more positive results than their opponents' in recent weeks. Kick-off at Elland Road is scheduled for 18 October.
