Leeds United and Manchester United return to action this afternoon as they meet in the Premier League for the second time in a week.

The two sides met at Old Trafford in midweek and Leeds took a 2-0 lead before the Red Devils roared back to claim a 2-2 draw.

Leeds go with Illan Meslier between the sticks today as caretaker boss Michael Skubala takes charge once again following the sacking of Jesse Marsch.

Junior Firpo starts at left back with Luke Ayling on the right, whilst Robin Koch and Maximilian Wober start in the heart of defence.

Weston McKennie joins Tyler Adams in an all-American midfield pairing with Jack Harrison seemingly playing as a number 10.

That would leave Crysencio Summerville and Wilfried Gnonto on the flanks, supporting lone striker Patrick Bamford up top.

Big January signing Georginio Rutter is on the bench, joining Joel Robles, Diogo Monteiro, Jeremiah Chilokoa-Mullen, Rasmus Kristensen, Darko Gyabi, Sam Greenwood, Brenden Aaronson and Mateo Joseph.

Manchester United have David De Gea in goal with Harry Maguire and Luke Shaw forming a surprise centre back pairing as Raphael Varane and Lisandro Martinez drop to the bench.

New signing Marcel Sabitzer joins Fred in midfield with Bruno Fernandes playing in a more advanced attacking midfield role.

Jadon Sancho starts on the right flank having made his big comeback against Leeds in midweek with Marcus Rashford on the left whilst Wout Weghorst starts in attack.

Tom Heaton, Victor Lindelof, Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Facundo Pellistri, Zidane Iqbal, Anthony Elanga and Alejandro Garnacho join Varane and Martinez on the bench.
