Manchester United host Leeds United on Wednesday night in the English Premier League at Old Trafford.
The hosts head into this fixture as the fourth most in-form side in the Premier League, as they have won four and drawn one of their last six outings.
Whilst Leeds are sitting at the opposite end of the table in regards to form, as they have failed to pick up a victory in their last six league games.

Manchester United v Leeds United
Wednesday 8 February 21:00
Old Trafford
First we take a look at the hosts, who have recently sparked into life under Erik ten Hag, and currently find themselves sitting third place in the English top flight, just three points behind arch rivals Manchester City.
However, summer signing Casemiro will be absent for this fixture, due to seeing red in Saturday’s home fixture against Crystal Palace. The Brazilian midfielder has been instrumental to United’s form this season, so ten Hag will be looking to one of his other midfielders to step up in his absence.
Marcus Rashford has certainly shown the world what he can do since the turn of the year, in his last 10 games in all competitions, the Englishman has found the back of the net eight times, and contributed with three assists.
When discussing Leeds United, the most notable talking point is the sacking of American boss Jesse Marsch after he was only appointed as manager at the back end of last season, following the departure of fans favourite Marcelo Bielsa.
Marsch had a positive start to life at Elland Road after he guided his side to safety last term, but this season after a haul of summer changes, he struggled to find any sort of rhythm, consequently leading to his dismissal.
With the Yorkshire club yet to find a replacement for Marsch, the fight for any form of positive result against rivals Manchester United, seems extremely unlikely.
In recent years, the Whites have struggled against United, with the Red Devils wining four out of the last five meetings, and the other match ended in a 0-0 draw at Elland Road in April 2021.
With ten Hag’s side finding the back of the net 12 times in their last five times out, we predict a haul of United goals, and the odds on Bet9ja sit at 4.00 for a Manchester United win (-2) handicap. Also with the home side in superb form leading up to the fixture, we are predicting a home victory and the odds are 7.20, for United to win either 4-0, 4-1, 4-2 or 4-3.
Bet9ja odds (at time of writing): Manchester United win: 1.48, Draw: 4.75, Leeds United: 6.40
