Leeds United will want a reaction on Sunday, October 18, when Manchester United travel to Elland Road. Kick-off is at 2pm.

Last weekend’s 2-1 defeat at the Emirates was a frustrating one, mainly because Leeds had been in front. James Justin gave them the lead before Arsenal turned the game around. Manchester United head to Yorkshire after another defeat in Europe in midweek, the latest setback in a poor run.

For fans watching from home, football listings site Sporticos has gathered where to watch Leeds vs Manchester United on TV, along with recent results and head-to-head records. The site says it only lists licensed, legal broadcasters.

A Sporticos spokesperson said: “Supporters want to know where they can watch their team and which viewing options are available in their country. Our aim is to bring that information together with match details and results, helping fans find licensed broadcasters and legitimate streaming services.

“For a fixture such as Leeds against Manchester United, that means helping supporters plan how they’ll follow the game, as well as understand the form of both teams ahead of kick-off.”

Leeds have given their fans something to be positive about lately. They beat Newcastle United 4-1 at Elland Road on September 14, then drew 0-0 with Crystal Palace. At Arsenal, Justin’s opener was cancelled out by goals from Riccardo Calafiori and Bruno Guimarães.

Even so, Farke was proud of what he saw. “We’ll take many, many positives from it,” he told the club’s website.

It’s been harder going for Manchester United. Michael Carrick’s side drew 1-1 with Tottenham on October 10, then lost 2-0 to Atlético Madrid in the Champions League on Tuesday. That’s now five games without a win in all competitions, a run that also includes a 1-1 draw at Fulham, a 1-0 defeat to Manchester City and a 3-2 League Cup exit at the hands of Brighton.

Both clubs also have injury concerns to deal with, which could have a big say in how they line up on Sunday.

For Leeds, it’s a chance to turn a promising display at Arsenal into points. Doing it against one of their fiercest rivals would make it even better.

Kick-off is at 2pm BST, and Sporticos currently lists Sky Sports among the UK viewing options.
