Wednesday night throws up a winter treat in the Premier League as old rivals Manchester United and Leeds United go head to head at Old Trafford.
Leeds are something of an unknown entity heading into their trip across the Pennines following the sacking of manager Jesse Marsch on Monday.
Having suffered a 1-0 defeat to Nottingham Forest at the weekend, American coach Marsch saw his time at Elland Road brought to an end.
While it’s uncertain who will be the next Leeds boss, what is guaranteed is a lively contest on Wednesday night with both sides going in search of valuable points, along with the bragging rights that go with it.
Our #PickYourPunt selections for this clash comes in at 6/1.

Man Utd to win @ 4/9
Manchester United have dominated this fixture since Leeds’ return to the Premier League after their 16-year absence in 2020.
The Red Devils have won three of their four meetings since the Whites returned to the top-flight, with the West Yorkshire outfit’s best result being a goalless draw at Elland Road in April 2021.
On home soil and with Leeds in an uncertain space following Marsch’s departure, this should be another three points for the Red Devils.
Both teams to score @ 8/11
While Leeds might head back across the M62 without an improvement in their points tally, they can still cause United’s defence problems.
Erik ten Hag’s side have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last four Premier League outings and, with the likes of Patrick Bamford, Wilfried Gnonto and Georginio Rutter in their ranks, Leeds do have attacking threats.
As in three of their last four meetings, it would be no surprise to see both teams get on the scoresheet once again.
Over 3.5 total goals @ 6/4
This encounter has tended to be a high-scoring fixture with 20 goals scored in their last four clashes. Last season saw United run out 5-1 winners at Old Trafford, before a thrilling 4-2 win at Elland Road.
Goals are unusually forthcoming when these sides meet and expect more of the same on Wednesday night.
Bruno Fernandes to score anytime @ 15/8
Looking at his goalscoring record against the Whites, Portugal star Bruno Fernandes seems to like playing against Leeds.
Scoring in three of the last four Premier League meetings, the former Sporting Lisbon star scored an impressive six goals in those games.
Leeds have struggled to pick up Fernandes’ runs from deep in the past and keeper Illan Meslier has been left helpless at times against the prolific finisher.
It would be little surprise to see Fernandes add to his tally against the Whites at Old Trafford this week.
