Leeds United return to Premier League action for the first time since they sacked Jesse Marsch against Manchester United tonight.
Marsch was sacked on Monday after his side were beaten 1-0 by Nottingham Forest on Sunday afternoon. The defeat left Leeds without a win in their last seven Premier League games.
United, who beat Crystal Palace last time out, have not lost to Leeds in the Premier League since September 2002 and they have beaten them 6-2, 5-1 and 4-2 in three of their four top-flight meetings since the Elland Road club were promoted in 2020.

However, Everton and Liverpool supporters hoping to tune in and watch the game will be disappointed to know that the match is not being shown live in the UK. And the ECHO has below taken a look at why the game is not on TV.
Why is Manchester United vs Leeds not on TV?
Tonight’s game was rearranged following the death of Queen Elizabeth II back in September. And was not, at that time, scheduled to be shown live on TV.
The fixture was originally meant to be played on Saturday, September 17, at 3pm, but was then moved to Sunday, September 18, due to United’s involvement in the Europa League. And although some games took place that weekend, three games, including United vs Leeds, were postponed due to policing issues.
However, as the match was not selected by either Sky Sports or BT Sport on its initial date, it is unable to be shown on Wednesday. As a result, fans will be unable to watch the action live tonight.
