Former Manchester United defender Paul McGrath says Leeds will win today's clash at Elland Road.
McGrath wrote for the Sunday World: "When I was playing, Leeds United against Manchester United was one of the games of the season.
"The supporters didn't like each other, the clubs were huge rivals for honours and there was a peculiarly British rivalry between two cities sitting below different sides of the Pennines mountain range.
"They clash at Elland Road this afternoon, for the second time in five days, with both teams needing points for very different reasons.
"It's very unusual for teams to play two league matches within five days of each other, but that is what will happen today.
"After both Arsenal and Manchester City lost last weekend, Red Devils fans would have seen a brief window of opportunity where they might actually challenge for the Premier League crown.
"That window slammed shut almost as quickly as it had opened on Wednesday night, when they had to come from 0-2 down to snatch a point at Old Trafford.
"Leeds had the better of the match for long spells, with their teenage winger Willy Gnonto outstanding.
"Indeed Leeds hit the bar, with a brilliant Brenden Aaronson free-kick, when they were still ahead.
"Leeds's loyalists would have snapped your hand off for a point as they travelled to Manchester last week.
"Now they will want more from a home match, having seen their team put it up to the Reds in a major way."
