Manchester United lock horns with arch-rivals Leeds in a clash that could prove pivotal at both ends of the table.
Without an FA Cup assignment last weekend, United’s spent four days in Ireland for a mid-season training camp as they looked to iron out any issues ahead of resuming their push for a Champions League place.
The Red Devils sit seven points above Chelsea in sixth and would require a serious capitulation to throw away a top-five finish, though Michael Carrick will nevertheless be keen to keep his so-far successful interim stint on track by passing the test of Leeds.
The visitors, meanwhile, come to Old Trafford off the high of reaching their first FA Cup semi-final since 1987 but will need to snap back into survival mode, with Daniel Farke’s side just four points above the drop zone.
Here’s everything you need to know ahead of the clash.

Team news
United welcomed Lisandro Martinez back to the fold during their training camp in County Kildare, meaning the Argentine is in contention after five games out. Mason Mount, Bryan Mbeumo and Benjamin Sesko are also set to be available but the game will come too soon for Patrick Dorgu, who is not yet ready to return. Matthijs De Ligt remains absent while Harry Maguire, who signed a new contract this week, is suspended.
Leeds will make the trip across the Pennines without Anton Stach and Joe Rodon, while former United winger Dan James is also unavailable. Jaka Bijol, Noah Okafor and Gabi Gudmundsson are all doubts.
Predicted line-ups
Man United XI: Lammens; Dalot, Yoro, Martinez, Shaw; Casemiro, Mainoo; Amad, Fernandes, Cunha; Mbeumo.
Leeds XI: Perri; Struijk, Bijol, Bornauw; Bogle, Ampadu, Tanaka, Justin; Aaronson; Nmecha, Calvert-Lewin.
