To stop Manchester United one needs to be a defensively solid unit and Leeds is anything but that. Yes, the Red Devils have been for from impressive under Rangnick and another change of manager in summer is imminent, but there is still a lot of quality in their squad and any poor run eventually comes to an end.

This pick has a lot in common with my call on Atalanta to get a result vs. Fiorentina today. Moreso, MU sent a positive message in midweek, when they took a 2-0 win over a tough opponent like Brighton. CR7 finally returned to scoring and his troubles (a run of 5 games without a goal) should be behind by now.

Manchester should also be given an extra boost by the result West Ham took from their home match vs. Newcastle the other night. A boring 1-1 draw means now Manchester can move +4 points clear of one of their main (together with Arsenal and Tottenham) Champions League competitors. Speaking of motivation, the two clubs in context picked up wins on Saturday, applying pressure on Man United to deliver vs. Leeds.

The opponent definitely looks beatable for the Red Devils. I still think Leeds have all the chances to get relegated this season as everything Marcelo Bielsa built last season suddenly stopped working in this campaign. The team is agonizingly painful to watch attacking wise and their defense is as poor as it had been under Bielsa. 46 conceded goals in 23 games - bottom of the table Norwich has virtually the same ratio (2 vs. 2.12 conceded goals per game).

In their last 3 league games Leeds picked up just 1 point, failing to score against Newcastle and Everton - teams from the bottom of the table.

Man United should be too much for Bielsa today and I expect an away win.

要想阻止曼联，我们需要一个坚固的防守单位，而利兹可不是这样。是的，红魔在兰尼克的领导下给人留下了深刻的印象，另一个主教练即将在夏天更换，但他们的阵容仍然有很多的品质，任何糟糕的表现最终都会结束。

这个选择和我今天对亚特兰大的决定有很多相似之处。此外，曼联在周中以2-0战胜了像布莱顿这样的劲敌，传递了一个积极的信息。CR7终于回归得分，他的麻烦(连续5场比赛没有进球)现在应该是落后了。

另外，西汉姆在主场对阵纽卡斯尔的比赛中取得的成绩也应该给曼彻斯特带来额外的鼓舞。一场无聊的1-1平局意味着现在曼联可以领先他们在欧冠联赛的主要竞争对手阿森纳和热刺+4分。说到动力，这两家俱乐部在周六的比赛中取得了胜利，他们对曼联施加了压力，让曼联在对阵利兹联的比赛中取得胜利。

红魔的对手看起来是可以打败的。我仍然认为利兹联本赛季有所有的机会降级，因为马塞洛·贝尔萨上赛季所建立的一切在这个赛季突然停止了工作。球队的进攻和防守都很糟糕，就像在贝尔萨的带领下一样。23场比赛丢了46个球——排名垫底的诺维奇几乎有同样的比例(每场比赛2个球对2.12个球)。

在最近的三场联赛中，利兹联只得到1分，在对阵纽卡斯尔和埃弗顿的比赛中都没有进球——这两支球队在积分榜上垫底。

曼联今天对贝尔萨来说应该是太多了，我期待能在客场取胜。
