Manchester United
Manchester United have a 13-2 win record in their last 15 matches across all tournaments, with the sole loss occurring against Premier League frontrunners, Arsenal. Meanwhile, Ten Hag’s team has achieved 13 consecutive victories at home and faces a Leeds squad that has only won 1 out of their last 9 away games in the top-flight, losing 6 of them.
Manchester United aims to extend their 13-game winning streak at Old Trafford to 14 when they play Leeds United in Wednesday’s Premier League match. The two teams will face each other twice in the next seven days. Despite playing with only 10 men, Erik ten Hag’s team beat Crystal Palace 2-1. Meanwhile, Leeds United lost 1-0 to Nottingham Forest, increasing their chances of being relegated.
Manchester United faced difficulties during their match with Crystal Palace after losing one of their key players, Casemiro, to a red card in the final 20 minutes. Casemiro was dismissed for grabbing Will Hughes around the neck with two hands. Despite this setback, United had already established a two-goal lead thanks to Bruno Fernandes’ penalty and Marcus Rashford’s 10th Premier League goal of the season. Although Crystal Palace managed to score a consolation goal, United held on for the win.
This victory continues United’s successful run, as they now sit in third place in the Premier League and are on track for Champions League football. Their early-season losses to Brentford and Brighton & Hove Albion now seem like a distant memory. The Red Devils’ momentum is only building with their fourth consecutive win across all competitions. Man United has won their last 13 home games and will look to carry this form into their upcoming Europa League tie with Barcelona and the EFL Cup final against Newcastle United.

Leeds United
As much as we love a good Lancashire, Yorkshire rivalry the heated past encounters between Man United and Leeds have been left behind, and to make things worse, Leeds suffered a defeat against Forest in their last match. This ended their brief three-game unbeaten streak in all tournaments. The match was decided by a beautiful volley from Brennan Johnson in the 14th minute, and despite their efforts, Leeds could not get past the inspired performance of Keylor Navas in goal for Forest.
Leeds have now gone seven Premier League games without a win since their 4-3 victory over Bournemouth on November 5th. They are currently in 17th place, only separated from the bottom of the league by goal difference, as Everton moved level on points with them after a surprising win over the league-leading Arsenal.
Additionally, Leeds have lost seven out of their last nine away games in the Premier League. Their record against top three teams is not favourable, as they have only drawn one and lost seven of their last eight Premier League matches against these sides.
Man United has dominated their recent encounters against Leeds, taking 10 points from 12 possible since Leeds were promoted back to the top flight in 2020. They have won 6-2 and 5-1 at Old Trafford, and their most recent meeting resulted in a 4-2 victory for Man United at Elland Road in February.

TWV Sport Team Thoughts
Although Manchester United has lost three of the four Premier League matches where Casemiro was absent, Ten Hag’s dynamic team should not repeat that glum history. Despite making notable transfers during the transfer window, Leeds’ issues will not be immediately solved. Leeds can expect another multi-goal loss at Old Trafford, but the margin of victory for United may not be as significant this time.
Match Result Prediction
✅ Manchester United to win.
Score Prediction
Manchester United 3 – 1 Leeds United
