The kit man at Manchester United will hope he can remember where he’s laid all the shirts, shorts and boots as the Red Devils haven’t played a match since drawing 2-2 at Bournemouth on March 20.
That was actually just the third time in 10 matches that United have dropped points under Michael Carrick and it now looks a decent result after the Cherries won 2-1 at leaders Arsenal on Saturday.
Leeds have far less rust to shake off after coming through 120 minutes and a successful penalty shootout against West Ham last weekend to book their place in the semi-finals of the FA Cup. They’ll be in great heart for the showdown with their fierce Roses rivals.

In truth, it’s hard to put Farke’s side up given that they’ve managed just a single away this season but no side has drawn more games on the road (seven) than Leeds.
All in all the visitors look capable of pinching a point so take the draw at 16/5.
Another way of trying to cash in on the visitors coming out of the blocks quicker is to back Leeds to score the first goal at 2/1.
They did that in the two draws mentioned above.
