Manchester United have the opportunity to move level on points with Manchester City on Wednesday when they finally face Leeds United at Old Trafford for the first time this season.
The match was originally due to be played on September 18 but was postponed due to Greater Manchester Police supporting forces across the country at locations and events of high significance in the aftermath of the Queen's death. This game in hand will take United to 22 matches played in the league and move them level with Fulham and Tottenham Hotspur on that total, but onto one more than most of their direct rivals (and two more than Premier League leaders Arsenal.)
Earning all three points against managerless Leeds would see the gap between fifth-placed Spurs double to six points. For the visitors, a win could move them as high as 14th from their current position (17th) only outside of the relegation zone due to having a better goal difference than Everton (-8 compared to -12).
