Leeds vs Man Utd: Ex-defender reveals two upset chances
19 Oct
Summary
- Leeds have not lost at Elland Road this season.
- Man Utd are winless away from home so far.
- Calvert-Lewin's form and midfield strength are key.
Leeds United face Manchester United at Elland Road on Sunday, with former Whites defender Tony Dorigo identifying two significant reasons for his old club to secure a victory. While not labeling Leeds as outright favorites, Dorigo emphasized the team's strong home form, remaining unbeaten in their opening three fixtures at Elland Road, conceding only two goals.
In contrast, Manchester United enters the match on a five-game winless streak and has yet to win away from home this season. Michael Carrick's side has experienced two defeats and two draws on the road, conceding multiple goals in three of those matches.
Dorigo pointed to striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin's current form and the effectiveness of Leeds' midfield as pivotal elements that could lead to success. Calvert-Lewin has scored four goals in eight appearances this season, earning an England recall, though his recent impact against Manchester United has been limited.
Leeds United currently sit sixth in the Premier League table, three points and six places ahead of Manchester United, who occupy 14th position and are only two points clear of the relegation zone.
