Leeds United will be out to avenge its most humbling defeat of the season when it hosts Manchester United on Sunday in an English Premier League matchup. Leeds was relegated from the Premier League in 2004 and returned this season, but its first matchup against its bitter rival was forgettable as Manchester United scored twice in the opening three minutes en route to a 6-2 drubbing in December. Leeds is in much better form as it prepares to host Manchester United for the first time since October 2003, taking a five-game unbeaten streak (3-0-2) into the match.
Kickoff from Elland Road is scheduled for 9 a.m. ET. The latest Manchester United vs. Leeds odds from William Hill Sportsbook lists Manchester United as a -0.5-goal and -123 money-line favorite (risk $123 to win $100), while the over-under for total goals scored is 2.5.

Top predictions for Manchester United vs. Leeds
Green likes the over 2.5 goals in Sunday's matchup and it's not hard to see why after Manchester United's dominating performance in December, when the club scored six goals for the first time since 2011. The Red Devils stunned Leeds with a pair of early strikes by Scott McTominay and bolted to a 4-1 halftime lead. Bruno Fernandes also scored twice for Manchester United, which has not lost a Premier League match on the road since January 2020. The Red Devils have conceded three goals during its winning streak.
Leeds can leapfrog Arsenal for ninth place with a win or draw in Sunday's matchup. There is the chance of facing a diluted Manchester United lineup if the Red Devils opt to hold out some key players in advance of the first leg of their Europa League semifinal matchup vs. AS Roma on Thursday.
