Leeds vs Man Utd odds and score prediction
Sky Sports' Lewis Jones...
It doesn't exactly take a Tony Bloom-like figure to work out that Leeds are a bet at these prices with 13/10 being offered by Sky Bet.
Sometimes the noise surrounding Manchester United can become so deafening that it distorts the betting market but the chaos at Old Trafford right now makes the odds-against price about a Leeds victory particularly appealing.
This is a nightmare fixture for a United side who look fragile, disjointed and incapable of dealing with opponents who bring relentless intensity.
Leeds will make this an uncomfortable afternoon where turning the atmosphere at Elland Road makes home advantage key. United have shown this season that they struggle when opponents take the game to them physically and emotionally.
Leeds have collected 45 points from 31 Premier League games since the start of December 2025 - a tally bettered by only five teams.
Their home form is even more persuasive. Leeds have taken 29 points on their own patch over the same period. Only Arsenal, Manchester City and Manchester United have collected more.
In what is the same old story, the market appears to be giving Manchester United too much credit for their name and not enough weight to their current shortcomings.
Back Leeds to bring the intensity and take the points.
SCORE PREDICTION: 2-0
