Leeds: Manager Marcelo Bielsa is looking to get Leeds back on track after the team has been inconsistent over their last stretch of games. The team has two wins in their last five matches in between two losses and a scoreless draw against Arsenal. Captain Liam Cooper and the backline will have their hands full against an attack featuring Rashford and Anthony Martial, and the Leeds midfield will have to work overtime to ensure the victory.
Prediction
Manchester comes out aggressive and get the win on goals from Rashford with a Cavani appearance to inch them closer to the top four. Pick: Manchester 2, Leeds 0.
