In-form Leeds United host huge rivals Manchester United at Elland Road on Sunday in front of a raucous home crowd. WATCH — Leeds United v Manchester United For live updates and highlights throughout Leeds United vs Manchester United,
The Red Devils are going to be coming into Sunday’s contest with a little bit of a chip on their shoulder, thanks to picking up a measly point against lowly Wolverhampton last Tuesday. ManU is currently sixth in the EPL, just outside of fifth place, and three points back of Liverpool for the last UEFA Champions League spot.
The Red Devils could move to fifth in the Premier League standings with a win today, but will need to make do without injury hit stars Bruno Fernandes, Kobbie Mainoo, Matthijs de Ligt and Harry Maguire. Bryan Mbeumo, Amad Diallo and Noussair Mazraoui are also unavailable due to their involvement at the ongoing Africa Cup of Nations.
After causing a furore about a supposed inability to play his precious 3-4-2-1 system due to a lack of transfer funds, Amorim duly lined his side up in that very formation. Just as he had done against relegation-battling Wolverhampton Wanderers, the thinking was presumably to match the shape of his newly promoted hosts.
