LIVE: Leeds vs Manchester United

18' Leeds try to go for a more direct route to goal now as Struijk drills a low throughball forward for Bamford and he holds off Lindelof to flick it on, with Dallas making a run behind him, but he plays it straight to Fred.

16' Ayling wins it back off Fred before playing a sloppy pass which is intercepted by Fernandes on the stretch. He manages to poke it through to James on the left of the box, but he can't get the contact on it that he needs to trouble Meslier.

14' Maguire drives through the middle and gets to the edge of the box without being challenged before laying it off to Rashford. He tries to dribble his way through the three Leeds defenders closing him down, but he can't find any space for a shot.

12' Fernandes is standing over another free-kick on the left and he curls a good cross into the middle of the box. Maguire gets ahead of Roberts to get on the end of it, but it ends up bouncing off his knee and looping high over the bar.

11' Shaw picks up the ball in his own half and he drifts away from two challenges as he drives forward down the left. He gets his head up, ready to put an early cross into the box, which gives Ayling chance to get back and poke it away from him.

9' In all competitions, Leeds have won just one of their last eight home games against Manchester United (D2 L5), losing each of the last three in a row.

7' Maguire plays a brilliant long ball over the top to pick out Rashford through the middle. The Leeds defenders are asking for a flag that doesn't come as he brings it down in the box, but he ends up dragging his shot well wide of the far post.

6' Rashford drops deep to try and get on the ball but is being kept under pressure from Dallas. He ends up playing a loose back pass to Fred and the midfielder has to quickly track back before Bamford can intercept it.

4' Leeds are keeping the ball well at the moment and forcing the visitors to sit deep in their own half. Dallas skips past Fred down the left before the Brazilian brings him down, but Phillips can't pick anyone out from the free-kick.

2' Manchester United make a bright start, with Shaw, Fred and Greenwood linking up well down the left and Ayling gets across to intercept, fouling Fred in the process. Fernandes curls a cross into the box which Greenwood meets, but his header is straight at Meslier.

1' Fernandes gets the game underway for Manchester United! 

The teams are out on the pitch now, with kick-off just moments away.

After the win for Manchester United in the reverse fixture at Old Trafford, they're looking to do the double over Leeds for only the third time in the Premier League (1996-97 and 1999-00).

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer makes just one change to the team that beat Burnley last time out, with James coming in for Pogba, who drops to the bench. Rashford is passed fit enough to start after a foot injury.

Marcelo Bielsa was clearly pleased with what he saw when his side earned a late draw with Liverpool on Monday as he named an unchanged line-up today. 

MANCHESTER UNITED SUBS: Paul Pogba, David de Gea, Eric Bailly, Donny van de Beek, Juan Mata, Axel Tuanzebe, Alex Telles, Edinson Cavani, Nemanja Matic.

MANCHESTER UNITED STARTING XI (4-2-3-1): Dean Henderson; Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Victor Lindelof, Harry Maguire, Luke Shaw; Scott McTominay, Fred; Mason Greenwood, Bruno Fernandes, Daniel James; Marcus Rashford.

LEEDS UNITED SUBS: Ian Poveda-Ocampo, Pablo Hernandez, Robin Koch, Mateusz Klich, Gaetano Berardi, Kiko Casilla, Sam Greenwood, Crysencio Summerville, Jamie Shackleton.

LEEDS UNITED STARTING XI (4-1-4-1): Illan Meslier; Luke Ayling, Diego Llorente, Pascal Struijk, Ezgjan Alioski; Kalvin Phillips; Helder Costa, Stuart Dallas, Tyler Roberts, Jack Harrison; Patrick Bamford.

It was a high-scoring game the last time these two met, with Manchester United coming out on top in a 6-2 win. The visitors are looking to close the gap to Manchester City at the top to eight points with a win and are unbeaten in their last 12 Premier League outings, winning the last five on the bounce. Leeds are also in good form though and are unbeaten in their last five (W3 D2), taking points off Chelsea, Manchester City and Liverpool in that run.
