Hide AdManchester United need to stabilise their position in fourth place, which they'll need to cling on to until the end of the season if they want to compete in the Champions League next year. Off the back of some underwhelming results, three points for the Lancashire club would help to make the prospect look a little more secure.
Marcelo Bielsa's men, meanwhile, are in need of a strong performance after putting on a lacklustre display at Goodison Park last weekend. Below them, Norwich City and Newcastle United are starting to gain ground so taking something from the roses derby would help Leeds to keep their distance from the relegation zone.
