Manchester United vs Leeds United

This one is billed as a friendly but feels anything but, with Croke Park sold out for a game that reignites one of English football's oldest rivalries. Manchester United arrive off a Champions League-clinching 71-point finish last season, while Leeds United settled for 14th in their first season back in the top flight. Both sides arrive in good spirits. Michael Carrick's side have won their last two warm-up games, thrashing Rosenborg 5-0 before edging Atletico Madrid 2-1 thanks to a Bryan Mbeumo brace, with Benjamin Sesko back after injury. Leeds are unbeaten as well, following a win over Sunderland with a 4-2 romp past Liverpool in which Dominic Calvert-Lewin scored twice, though their defense has kept only one clean sheet in three outings. History favors United overall, but Leeds hold the recent bragging rights: their 2-1 win at Old Trafford in April, sealed by a Noah Okafor double, was their first league win there since 1981. Our prediction: 2-1
