This weekend in the Premier League will see old rivals renew their hostilities as Manchester United welcome Leeds United at Old Trafford. The match schedules for Sunday with kickoff at 7:30 pm.
The hosts come into the match sitting sixth on the table with a game in hand over most of the teams around them, while Leeds comes from a big win against Newcastle United in their last time out.
It will mark 16 years since these two rivals last met, which will certainly evoke past memories of the fierce battles. It marks one of the fixtures the Red Devils have missed overtime with the absence of Leeds.
Leeds United have something to look forward to ahead of their trip to Old Trafford that will mark their 90th anniversary of their biggest ever victory over Manchester United with a 5-0 win at Elland Road in 1930.
Manchester United has played more Premier League games against Leeds United without losing than against any other club at home. The White’s last triumph at Old Trafford dates back to February 1981.
Old Trafford is becoming a hard place for the Red Devils to maintain a win with only one win in their last eight matches. Only three teams have picked up fewer home points all season, with another worrying trend is that Burnley has scored fewer home goals than Man United.
