Leeds Vs Manchester United: Ronaldo Et Al Aim For Three Points At The Opponent's Home
JAKARTA - Manchester United will be looking for a three-point streak in the Premier League when they are guests at Elland Road, Leeds United's home base, on Sunday 20 February afternoon.
The Red Devils, nicknamed Manchester United, are currently fourth in the table, two points clear of fifth-placed West Ham United, while Leeds sit 15th, six points clear of the relegation zone heading into the next set.
Leeds' record this season is arguably unconvincing with five wins, eight draws and a loss of 10 of 23 Premier League games this season and only collected 23 points, which leaves them in 15th place in the table, six points clear of relegation zone.
It is different because the Whites were outstanding when they returned to this level last season, finishing ninth, but there is no doubt that they are finding it more difficult this season, and Leeds are one team to look out for, especially with Everton. and Newcastle United are showing signs of improvement.
Marcelo Bielsa's men won back-to-back league games against Burnley and West Ham last month but have picked up just one point from their last nine available fixtures, drawing with Aston Villa on either side of a home loss to Newcastle and an away loss to Everton.
Leeds now have three league games in a row against Man United, Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur, and they will be desperate to beat the Red Devils, who won 5-1 in the reverse fixture at Old Trafford in August, but the points were shared in a draw with no goals at Elland Road last season.
The Whites have struggled at home this season, collecting just 13 points from 11 games, which is the fourth worst record in the division, while they have won just one of their last four league games at Elland Road, losing at home to Newcastle in their last clash. in front of their own fans on January 22.
Manchester United, which has ambitions to get tickets for the Champions League next season, is predicted to go all out. Cristiano Ronaldo et al will appear in full force against Leeds.
With Ronaldo's speed and the accuracy of Paul Pogba's passes, it was felt that he could penetrate the fragile back line of former Manchester United legend Rio Ferdinand.
