Man Utd to Win
Of their 16 away games so far this season, Man Utd have claimed 10 wins, 6 draws and are yet to taste defeat. Man Utd have also won five of their last seven competitive and non-competitive matches against Leeds, so you can see just why we're backing the visitors to secure all 3pts.
Over 2.5 Goals
Over 2.5 goals have been produced in each of the last three meetings between these two clubs, including friendlies, with Man Utd running out 6-2 winners in the pair's reverse league fixture back in December. Three of Leeds' and four of Man Utd's last six outings have ended with over 2.5 goals being scored.
Edinson Cavani to Score
Edinson Cavani has scored 8-goals in the Premier League this season and has found the back of the net in each of his last three appearances for the Red Devils in all competitions. Cavani only came off the bench in the reverse league fixture against Leeds and didn't score any of the host's 6-goals but the Uruguayan is the man in form right now and Leeds' leaky defence must pay him close attention.

Man Utd are yet to lose on the road
Leeds claimed a 1-1 draw at home to Liverpool last time out but will be expecting an even tougher game against a Man Utd side that look at their best on their travels. Bielsa's men are unbeaten in their last five outings in the Premier League but each of those games have been very close and have all ended with both teams finding the back of the net. Victory for Leeds would certainly strengthen their bid to finish in the top half of the table this season. However, Cooper will miss out through suspension and there are doubts over the fitnesses of Rodrigo, Raphinhia and Forshaw.
Man Utd will make the trip to Leeds without Martial or Jones and Bailly is unlikely to be available to start. Man Utd thrashed Leeds when the pair met at Old Trafford and the visitors are at their best on the road, so we're expecting another win for the Red Devils this weekend. After defeating Burnley 3-1 last time out, Man Utd are unbeaten in their last five matches in all competitions but have only kept two clean sheets in their last six attempts, so there is a good chance we will see both teams score on Sunday.
