Overview
- Kick-off is 12:30 GMT on Sunday, 4 January at Elland Road, with live coverage on TNT Sports 1 in the UK.
- Leeds captain Ethan Ampadu serves a one-match suspension after his fifth booking, with Joe Rodon out injured and Daniel James unlikely to feature.
- Manchester United list Bruno Fernandes, Matthijs de Ligt, Harry Maguire, Kobbie Mainoo and Mason Mount as injury absentees, with Amad, Bryan Mbeumo and Noussair Mazraoui away at the Africa Cup of Nations.
- Leeds are unbeaten in six league matches and sit 16th, while a United win could lift them to fourth depending on other results.
- Ruben Amorim cautioned that Leeds’ pace and the Elland Road atmosphere will pose a stern test, as bookmakers promote enhanced markets including Betfair’s 50/1 offer on a goal and Betfred bet-builders.
