Manchester United are unbeaten in their last 18 home league games against Leeds (W11 D7) since a 1–0 defeat under Dave Sexton in February 1981.
Following a 1–1 draw at Elland Road in January, Leeds are looking to avoid losing both league meetings with Manchester United in a season for the first time since 1994–95.
Manchester United have lost only one of their last 20 league games against Leeds (W12 D7) and are unbeaten in all five evening kick-offs against them in the Premier League (W3 D2 – 7pm or later).
Manchester United have lost only one of their 14 Premier League games since Christmas Day (W8 D5), with only league-leader Arsenal having accrued more points (31) than the Red Devils (29) in the competition this time.
Leeds United have failed to score in each of their last four Premier League games, their longest such run in the competition this season. Only from January to March 1982 did they go longer without scoring in their league history (6 consecutive) – during a season in which they were relegated from the top-flight.
Michael Carrick has won all six of his Premier League games at Old Trafford as Manchester United boss (1 in 2021, 5 in 2026). Only Carlo Ancelotti (7), Sven-Goran Eriksson (9), and Manuel Pellegrini (11) have had longer winning starts on home soil as Premier League managers.
Leeds United have drawn seven of their last eight matches in the Premier League (L1), with no side having drawn more on the road in the division in 2025–26 (Bournemouth and Man Utd also have 7). The Whites have drawn their last four matches, having seen consecutive games finish level only once in league history (6 from August to October 1998).
Bruno Fernandes has been involved in eight goals (6 goals, 2 assists) in just six Premier League matches against Leeds, more than any other Manchester United player against the Whites in the competition.
Manchester United’s Bruno Fernandes has created 101 chances in the Premier League this season, the third time he has created 100+ in a campaign in the competition, following 2022-23 (119) and 2023-24 (114). He is one of only three players on record (since 2003–04) to do so in three different Premier League seasons, joining Frank Lampard (2006–07, 2008–09, 2009–10) and Kevin De Bruyne (2016–17, 2017–18, 2019–20).
Only Ollie Watkins (374), Brian Mbeumo (369), and Igor Thiago (345) have made more off-ball runs out of the back than Leeds’ Dominic Calvert-Lewin (282) in the Premier League this season, accounting for 54% of their total off-ball runs (523).
