Preview
Written by Yaro Pavlenko
Spreadex Sports previews the upcoming 2025/26 Premier League fixture between Leeds Utd and Man Utd. The Red Devils produced another abject performance as they were held to a draw by basement club Wolves at Old Trafford last time out, with Wolves claiming just their third point of the season.
Leeds, meanwhile, have produced several creditable performances of late during a tough run of fixtures to stretch their unbeaten run to six matches, which have included two fixtures against reigning champions Liverpool.
Who will come out on top at Elland Road in this bitterly contested rivalry?
When is Leeds v Man Utd? Sunday, January 4th 2026.
What time is kick-off for Leeds v Man Utd?12.30pm, UK time.
Where is Leeds v Man Utd being played? Elland Road, Leeds.
How can I watch Leeds v Man Utd? Live on TNT Sports 1 from 12.30pm.
The home side will come into this one with high confidence that they can finally grab a long-awaited win over their bitter North-West rivals, and having only lost three of their last 25 home matches, they may well fancy their chances of grabbing at least a point to boost their survival hopes.
Man Utd, meanwhile, continue to show an extremely inconsistent level of performance with several missed opportunities of late to bolster their top-four hopes. While the Red Devils still sit just three points off the top four, a defeat or draw here will likely only increase the pressure on Ruben Amorim.
DRAW: Liverpool 0-0 Leeds. 1st January 2026.DRAW: Sunderland 1-1 Leeds. 28th December 2025.WIN: Leeds 4-1 Crystal Palace. 20th December 2025.

The Spreadex Sports fixed odds Match Odds betting prices have Man Utd as extremely slight 8/5 favourites to secure an away victory while our 2 Up early pay out market, which pays out when a team goes two goals up, has the Red Devils at 29/20.
Leeds meanwhile are available at 13/8 for the home victory (6/4 on our 2 Up market), with the draw at 5/2.
H2H form is heavily slanted in Man Utd's favour with the last 15 fixtures dating back to 2003 seeing Leeds victorious only once, when they shocked Old Trafford with a 1-0 victory in the FA Cup back in 2010.
With only four of the last ten meetings seeing Both Teams Scoring, you can back Both to Score - No at 5/4 here.
Our football spread betting prices have the Goal Supremacy as Man Utd/Leeds -0.1 - 0.1. This means if Utd won 4-1 (or by any other three goal margin), a 'buy' bet at 0.1 would mean a return of 3.9x your initial stake.
However, if you bought at 0.1 in Utd's favour and the match ended goalless, you would lose 0.1x your stake. Or, if Leeds were to grab a 1-0 (or any other one goal margin) win, the market would settle negatively at -1 and a buy at 0.1 would result in a loss of 1.1x your opening stake.
You can calculate various make-ups by using our handy spread betting calculator, found here.
Our spread betting Total Goals line is 2.8 - 3. So a 3 'buy' bet would need at least four goals to be scored in the match to start turning a profit. Conversely, a 2.8 sell bet would need less than three goals to be scored in the match to turn a profit.
Remember that with spread betting, get the bet wrong and losses can exceed your stake/deposit. E.g. a 3 'buy' Total Goals bet would lose 3x your opening stake if the match ended 0-0, and so on.
The last meeting of these sides at Elland Road ended in a 0-2 win for Man Utd - you can back a repeat of that scoreline here at odds of 12/1.
We have several pre-built Popular Bet-Builders, including Over 2.5 Leeds corners in each half & Over 2.5 Man United corners in each half - 18/1, BTTS no, Under 2.5 goals & Under 9.5 corners - 17/4, 2+ fouls by Manuel Ugarte & 2+ fouls by Casemiro - 7/5 and much more!
Price Boosts for this one are live, and include Noah Akafor to Score Anytime - NOW 29/10, Matheus Cunha 1+ Assists - NOW 15/4, Joshua Zirkzee 2+ Shots on Target - NOW 23/10 and more!
