Leeds United will host Manchester United at Elland Road on Sunday as they aim for a better performance following a 2-1 loss to Arsenal. Manager Daniel Farke is expected to keep changes minimal, fielding a 3-4-3 formation with Dominic Calvert-Lewin leading the attack. James Trafford will start in goal, supported by a defense of James Justin, Nico Elvedi, and Tarik Muharemovic. Midfielders Ao Tanaka and Ethan Ampadu will handle the center, with Gabriel Gudmundsson and Jayden Bogle on the wings. Daniel James is unlikely to play due to a lower back injury, while Noah Okafor and Anton Stach will provide width in the attacking positions.
