Story summary

On Sunday, October 18, Leeds United faces Manchester United in an English Premier League match at Elland Road, Leeds. This rivalry is one of the fiercest in football, with Manchester United's closest brush at ending their wait since 1967 for an English top-flight title occurring in 1993 when they were narrowly beaten by Leeds.

Both teams enter the game following contrasting results; Leeds drew credit from a 2-1 defeat to reigning champions Arsenal, while Manchester United is grappling with internal issues, including comments made by defender Lisandro Martinez. Daniel Farke's Leeds could see Dan James return from injury, adding depth to their lineup. Michael Carrick of Manchester United will likely emphasize the importance of victory in this historic rivalry despite his personal record against Farke.

The match kicks off at 2pm local time (13:00 GMT) with Al Jazeera Sport providing build-up and live commentary starting at 9am GMT.
