Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag expects Leeds to be 'even more energetic' than they were on Wednesday when the two sides clash again this afternoon.
The Reds came from behind to draw 2-2 with the Yorkshire outfit at Old Trafford on Wednesday night, with Marcus Rashford and Jadon Sancho both getting on the scoresheet. Ten Hag's men will be aiming to increase their lead over fourth-placed Newcastle United to five points.
United went 1-0 down in the first minute in midweek, and things went from bad to worse when the away side doubled their lead just after the break. However, the Reds responded well to level proceedings and stretched their unbeaten run at home to 10 matches.

The Whites will once again be without a permanent manager on the touchline following the sacking of Jesse Marsch, with U21s coach Michael Skubala currently in charge on a caretaker basis.
When asked if the midweek clash gave him some indication as to what to expect from Leeds this weekend, the United boss told club media: "Yeah, we have seen yesterday, different management there, so a little bit of a different approach. I don’t think from the style we could expect that, especially [because] of the rivalry who was there [previously].
"Sunday, is the same I think even more, it will be even more energetic but we have to prepare for that and do it better than we did in each half yesterday. I think when we cope with that, we have a good chance to win that game."
Leeds looked much-improved on Wednesday night, but have only won three of their 10 home Premier League matches so far this season. United, meanwhile, have performed reasonably well on the road and have won five of their 11 away matches in the top flight.
