It looks fairly even at Elland Road, but Leeds have shown some improvement recently, while Manchester United appear to have taken a slight step backward after a few underwhelming performances. I’m therefore landing on a narrow home win at odds of 2.60.Leeds defended very well away to Liverpool on Thursday and largely got what they came for, as the match ended 0–0 and the points were shared.The Whites went 0–1 down after an even first half away to Sunderland in the previous league round, but they equalised shortly after the break and were clearly the better side from then on. However, no further goals followed, and they had to settle for a 1–1 draw — two points fewer than they probably deserved.After a long and difficult spell with six defeats in seven matches, things have looked much brighter recently, with a 2–4–0 record in their last six games as both results and performances have improved noticeably. Over the season as a whole, their position isn’t far off expectations for a newly promoted side, as they currently sit 16th in the table. Still, there is a small seven-point cushion down to the relegation zone after 19 Premier League matches, which have produced 5 wins, 6 draws, and 8 defeats.At Elland Road this season, the hosts have recorded a 4–3–2 home record with a goal difference of 17–12, following wins against Crystal Palace and Chelsea, as well as a draw against Liverpool in their last three home games.James and Rodon appear set to miss tonight’s match through injury, Ampadu is suspended, while Bornauw is considered doubtful.Manchester United were a major disappointment at home against bottom side Wolverhampton on Tuesday, as the match ended 1–1, and based on chances and overall play, a draw was a fair result.There was little to argue with the Red Devils’ 1–0 halftime lead at home to Newcastle on Boxing Day, but they were pushed back heavily after the break and barely saw the ball. Still, they managed to hold on for what ultimately became a somewhat fortunate 1–0 victory.After a season start that in many ways continued where they left off last year, United have suffered only two defeats in their last 13 matches. In that sense, it appears manager Rúben Amorim has stabilised the ship, but looking at it another way, they have managed just three wins in their last ten outings. With a total of 8 wins, 6 draws, and 5 defeats, they currently sit 6th in the table — only three points off the crucial 4th place, but equally just three points clear of the bottom half.Away from home this season, United have posted a 3–3–3 record with a 15–16 goal difference, following a loss to Aston Villa and wins against Wolves and Crystal Palace in their last three away matches. Amorim has a lot of unavailable players so I don't expect a win for him on this hot away game

埃兰路的情况看起来相当平稳，但利兹最近表现出了一些进步，而曼联在几次平淡无奇的表现后似乎倒退了一步。因此我在主场以2.60的赔率险胜。利兹联在周四客场对阵利物浦的比赛中防守非常出色，基本上得到了他们想要的结果，比赛以0-0结束，双方分齐。在上一轮联赛中，白衣军团在客场与桑德兰打成平手后以0-1落后，但他们在中场休息后很快扳平比分，显然从那以后他们就成为了更好的一方。然而，没有进一步的进球，他们不得不接受1-1的平局——比他们应得的少两分。在经历了7场6负的漫长而艰难的时期后，最近的情况看起来好多了，在最近的6场比赛中，他们取得了2胜4负的战绩，成绩和表现都有了明显的提高。从整个赛季来看，他们的位置与新升级的球队相差不远，因为他们目前排在积分榜第16位。尽管如此，在19场英超比赛中取得了5胜6平8负的成绩，离降级区还有7分的差距。本赛季在埃兰路主场，东道主取得了4胜3负的主场战绩，净胜球为17胜12负，在最近三场主场比赛中分别战胜了水晶宫和切尔西，并战平了利物浦。詹姆斯和罗登似乎将因伤缺席今晚的比赛，安帕杜将停赛，博诺也不确定。周二，曼联在主场与垫底球队狼队的比赛中大失所望，比赛以1比1结束，从机会和整体表现来看，平局是一个公平的结果。节礼日，红魔在主场1-0领先纽卡斯尔，这是无可争议的，但他们在中场休息后被严重压制，几乎看不到球。尽管如此，他们还是成功地坚持了下来，最终以1-0的比分取得了幸运的胜利。本赛季的开局在很多方面延续了去年的状态，曼联在过去的13场比赛中只输了两场。从这个意义上说，似乎主教练Rúben阿莫里姆已经稳住了这艘船，但从另一个角度来看，他们在过去的10场比赛中只取得了3场胜利。以8胜6平5负的战绩，他们目前排在积分榜的第6位，与关键的第4名只差3分，但与下半区同样只差3分。本赛季客场，曼联取得了3-3-3的战绩，净胜球15-16，在最近三场客场比赛中输给了阿斯顿维拉，战胜了狼队和水晶宫。阿莫里姆有很多不能上场的球员，所以我不指望他能在这场火热的客场比赛中获胜
