How will the two teams set up?
Official line-ups are announced roughly an hour before kick-off.
At home
Manchester United
Man Utd are organised and tough to break down, and they tend to earn results at Old Trafford by controlling the middle of the pitch.
Away
Leeds United
Leeds are a pragmatic mid-table team: sturdy out of possession on the road at Old Trafford, but short of the creativity to dictate a game.
