Leeds vs Manchester United Tips, Bet Builder & Latest Odds
The football calendar has given fans plenty of games to watch over this Christmas and New Year period. However, things are starting to quieten down for teams now as we move into January.
We have got a big game to look forward to this Sunday lunchtime as Leeds host Manchester United.
The Yorkshire team have had a solid first half of the season and will be hoping to do just as well in the second half. United will be looking to get a win after another poor result during the week.
Here are our top three betting tips and the best free bet offers ahead of Sunday's Premier League clash.
Leeds vs Manchester United Tips
Here are our selection of football tips to weigh up before kick-off.
Tip 1: Draw and both teams to score
Leeds have had a solid first half of the season and are sitting 16th in the league. They have only won five of their first 19 games, but they are competitive in almost every game they have played.
Some highlights of the year have been big home wins against Chelsea and Crystal Palace. Both results came in December and given their current form of being unbeaten in five, they should get something from this game.
Now they must face a Manchester United team that is looking to bounce back after a poor result last time out. Drawing at home to Wolves is a poor showing considering it was only Wolves third point of the season.
The Red Devils are short on quality with Bryan Mbeumo and Amad at the African Cup of Nations, along with Bruno Fernandes out injured. Historically if Fernandes is out then United struggle.
It’s hard to see either team dominating the other and so a draw feels like a fair result with plenty of goals to keep us entertained.
Tip 2: Dominic Calvert-Lewin to score anytime
Dominic Calvert-Lewin has revitalised his career this season since his move to Leeds and his good form could continue here. The former Everton frontman has had 34 shot this season with 17 of them hitting the target.
So far Calvert-Lewin has scored eight goals this season for his new team and has got some great recent form. He has scored seven goals in his last seven games and that includes goals against Manchester City, Chelsea and Liverpool.
After not starting against Liverpool on Thursday expect Calvert-Lewin to be fully rested and ready to keep his great form going.
Tip 3: Anton Stach 1+ shot on target, Luke Shaw to be shown a card, Dominic Calvert-Lewin to score anytime
Anton Stach has started in 16 of Leeds 19 games so far this season and is always happy to have a shot. So far this season he has had 32 shots with eight of them hitting the target. He has also managed to get three goals and should have some opportunities to get a shot on target against Manchester United.
Luke Shaw has committed 23 fouls this season and is only behind Casemiro in the Manchester United team. He has already seen three yellow cards in the Premier League and could see another here.
Finally add the in-form Calvert-Lewin to finish off the bet builder. He has been in great form scoring seven times in Leeds last seven games.
