Before two fierce rivals face-off for the first time this season, Ladbrokes shares its top Leeds vs Man United betting tips & predictions, with live odds.

With the hosts looking to extend a fantastic unbeaten run and the visitors hoping for a sign of improvement after last week's disappointing draw, this one is set up to be a cracking start to Sunday's Premier League action, with a full-blooded affair ready to explode.

Below, you can see Ladbrokes' expert Bet Builder tips for Leeds vs Man United, with Dominic Calvert-Lewin tipped to resume his goalscoring exploits.

Dominic Calvert-Lewin to score anytime

In what has been a sensational festive period for Leeds United, Dominic Calvert-Lewin has well and truly arrived at Elland Road, scoring seven in his last seven and helping to build a significant gap to the bottom three - and we're backing him to continue his fine scoring run at home to Man United this weekend.

The Englishman has flown up the goalscoring charts in December, and faces a Man United side who have kept just one clean sheet since October. The Leeds centre forward will be licking his lips at the prospect of lining up against Lisandro Martinez and Ayden Heaven, with aerial dominance his biggest asset, so we're expecting him to cause serious problems.

Calvert-Lewin will fancy his chances with any cross into the box, and in such confident form, we think he's scoring again this week.

Matheus Cunha to have 1+ shots on target

At the other end of the pitch, Man United do possess some serious quality despite a recent struggle for form, and Ladbrokes is backing Matheus Cunha to trouble the Leeds goalkeeper with at least one shot on target.

The former Wolves man has failed to really step up thus far in the absence of Bruno Fernandes, Bryan Mbeumo and Amad Diallo, but he should have a significant role to play against United's newly-promoted opposition. Leeds conceded 19 shots against Liverpool, and despite holding on for a 0-0 draw, they'll likely struggle to shut out United if they do the same this week.

Cunha will search for space around the edge of the box, and against a side who have only kept one clean sheet since August, he should get the opportunity to hit the target at least once.

Luke Shaw to be carded at Elland Road

One man who has had something of a renaissance this season is Luke Shaw, with the defender enjoying consistent game time once again at Old Trafford - but we think he could be in for a tough afternoon at Elland Road, picking up a card.

All of Shaw's three Premier League bookings this season have come since November 30, and now that we have passed the five-booking-suspension threshold, there could be slightly less care with the challenges.

Leeds' wide men are tricky, and even if Shaw is deployed as a centre back, he will have a difficult task on his hands - so Ladbrokes thinks backing the Man United defender in the card markets could be a smart pick.

Leeds to win or draw against Manchester United

Rounding off our Leeds vs Manchester United betting tips and predictions, we're backing the hosts to get a positive result from this one, with Leeds either winning or drawing against their fierce rivals.

Daniel Farke's side are enjoying a stunning run of form, last tasting defeat in November, and with excellent results against Chelsea and Liverpool (x2) in that run, they'll be supremely confident of beating Man United in the league for the first time since 2002. United don't lose often, but draws against the likes of Wolves, West Ham, and Bournemouth demonstrate just how flaky this side have become - so the hostile atmosphere of Elland Road could be a step too far.

Ladbrokes is dipping into the double chance markets here, with Leeds either winning or drawing to extend their unbeaten run to seven.
