Manchester United welcome Leeds United to Old Trafford tonight in a grudge Premier League match.
The two sides come into the game in contrasting form, with Manchester United winning three of their last five, losing just once which has put them in third position in the standings and a strong favourite to finish in the Champions League places.
Leeds, however, have picked up just three points from the last 15 available, failing to win in the league since February 6, which has left them just three points above the top-flight relegation zone.
This fixture between two of England’s biggest clubs has a heated history, going back decades with years of fan and on-field hatred.
While the game tonight is an opportunity to help the two sides with their league ambitions, fans of both will have a heightened interest as they look to come away with bragging rights against their arch-rivals.
