Manchester United face the unusual situation of back-to-back league fixtures against the same opponent this week, renewing their rivalry with Leeds United.
After the originally scheduled meeting between the two clubs at Old Trafford back in September was postponed following the death of Queen Elizabeth II, this week has represented the first midweek slot where both clubs were free to fulfil the fixture. It was confirmed just over a week ago after both United and Leeds came through their FA Cup fourth round ties without the need for a replay.
It does, of course, mean that they will face each other twice within the space of just five days, going head-to-head at Old Trafford on Wednesday night and then at Elland Road on Sunday afternoon. While United will head into the two fixtures with confidence flowing through their veins, Leeds will be looking to pull away from danger and start life without former head coach Jesse Marsch with a bang.
