Only having the Premier League to play for means it's been almost a month since Manchester United last kicked a ball - but we're expecting to quickly be reminded of their attacking quality, with Matheus Cunha scoring at Old Trafford for the second game on the spin.

The Brazilian has enjoyed an excellent first season at United, scoring seven goals in a campaign that's seen him become a key man for a side that have finally found their form, and with Champions League football up for grabs, we don't see him letting up any time soon.

Cunha scored at Elland Road in January, and against one of the league's most porous defences, we're tipping him to find the net again on Monday night.

From one in-form man to another, Dominic Calvert-Lewin's resurgence this term has been crucial in Leeds' survival scrap, and we're backing the England international to test Senne Lammens in the Man United goal with at least one shot on target.

With hopes of making Thomas Tuchel's final squad for the 2026 World Cup, Calvert-Lewin will be raring to go in the final stretch of the campaign, and with the centre forward averaging just about a shot on target per game this season, he'll be ready to make his mark at Old Trafford.

More than two shots per game clearly show Calvert-Lewin's intent in front of goal, and with Leeds giving everything to stay clear of the drop zone, we're backing them to create chances - so DCL to have 1+ shots on target is our pick.

Gabriel Gudmundsson has impressed a lot of people in his first season in England, with his energy and tenacity proving invaluable to Leeds down the left-hand side - but we're tipping him to pick up a booking on a tricky night at Old Trafford.

Leeds are in no position to roll over now, with the bottom three edging ever-closer to Daniel Farke's side, and we're backing Gudmundsson to set the tone with crunching tackles and absolute commitment - but he does have a tendency to get one wrong.

Four yellows and a red this season prove he's no stranger to overstepping the mark, and with the Swede averaging a foul a game - and more than two tackles per 90 - he's going to be in the thick of the action again here, so we're tipping him for a card.

Rounding off our Man United vs Leeds preview and predictions, we're backing the Red Devils to continue their resurgent form and claim all three points, taking a step closer to bringing Champions League football back to Old Trafford.

Since Michael Carrick took over, United have picked up 23 points from a possible 30 - putting them near the top of the Premier League form table - and have won all five of their home games, so Leeds could be in for a hugely difficult contest.

Manchester United have finally rediscovered their fear factor, making Old Trafford something of a fortress, and with Leeds winless in six league matches, we're expecting the hosts to pick up another vital victory.
