Form Guide
Manchester Utd
WWLWD
The Carrick renaissance at Old Trafford has been one of the Premier League's most compelling stories of 2026. Since his appointment, United have accumulated more points than any other side in the calendar year; 15 from seven matches and topping the 2026 form table. Victories over rivals Manchester City and league leaders Arsenal were followed by home wins against Fulham and Tottenham, creating a genuine momentum of belief at Old Trafford. Benjamin Šeško has emerged as a lethal finisher, with his intervention rescuing results in multiple encounters. United sit third in the Premier League on 55 points.
Leeds
LLDDW
Leeds United are 15th in the table on 33 points; a respectable if precarious position for a promoted side. Their most remarkable recent achievement has been off-pitch: a penalty shootout win over West Ham in the FA Cup sent them to their first semi-final in 39 years, a result that has galvanised the squad and the fanbase. However, their league form is a concern — they are winless in their last six Premier League outings and have failed to score in four consecutive league games. Away from Elland Road, they have managed just one win all season, and a trip to Old Trafford against a United side in full flight is arguably the toughest road fixture remaining.
Prediction
Manchester United's formidable form since the turn of the year makes them the commanding favourites for this Roses Derby.
