Just days after their 2-2 draw at Old Trafford, Leeds and Manchester United will run it back once again when they butt heads in the Premier League on Sunday.
The Elland Road outfit, who continue to search for a new manager, were two goals ahead on Wednesday before Marcus Rashford and substitute Jadon Sancho struck in the second half to salvage a draw for Erik ten Hag’s men.
The result has added a fresh layer of intrigue ahead of a fiery fixture which could have major ramifications for both Uniteds this season.

Leeds team news
Robin Koch’s return to the starting lineup last time out came as a huge boost to a Leeds side who remain without Rodrigo, Stuart Dallas, Adam Forshaw, Archie Gray and Sonny Perkins.
Luis Sinisterra last just eight minutes at Old Trafford. Pascal Struijk also went off with a head injury early in the first half, so Junior Firpo should take his place from the start.
Leeds had wanted a new manager in charge of this one but, as it stands, the decisions will be left to the group of Michael Skubala, Paco Gallardo and Chris Armas.
(4-2-3-1): Meslier; Ayling, Koch, Wober, Firpo; Adams, McKennie; Sinisterra, Harrison, Gnonto; Bamford
Man Utd team news
Casemiro remains suspended, leaving Erik ten Hag light in midfield. Marcel Sabizter can expect a second consecutive start alongside Fred as Christian Eriksen, Scott McTominay and Donny van de Beek are all out.
Expect some movement in attack, with Alejandro Garnacho’s Twitter like spree probably earning him a move to the bench instead of Jadon Sancho, who could start after scorig the equaliser.
There will be no Anthony Martial, who remains injured.
(4-2-3-1): De Gea; Dalot, Varane, Martinez, Shaw; Fred, Sabitzer; Rashford, Fernandes, Sancho; Weghorst.
Wednesday’s 2-2 draw has complicated predictions for this one. Manchester United are obvious favourites but Leeds had their number for large parts of that game, and they’ll be even more confident in front of a home crowd.
Ten Hag won’t accept that performance and will tweak things in terms of tactics and personnel, which could make the difference and get Man Utd back to winning ways.
There could be a lot of goals in this one, but most of them will likely go to the visitors.
Prediction: Leeds 1-3 Man Utd
