We kick off this weekend’s Premier League action on Saturday afternoon as Manchester United host Leeds United at the Old Trafford. Read on for our expert tips and predictions.

The Mancunians were big winners the last time both sides clashed in Manchester with Ole’s troops recording a massive 6-2 victory. Would we see the same in the Premier League’s opening weekend?

2020/2021 season goes underway

Manchester United finished as the second-best team in the English Premier League last season. This, coupled with losses in the domestic cup and the Europa League, summed up a terrible end to the season for the Red Devils. However, Ole and his boys look like they’re ready to go taking into account their pre-season performances and also the addition of Jason Sancho and Raphael Varane to the squad.

Marcelo Bielsa’s Leeds United performed way above expectation in their first Premier League season having missed out for 17 years. They ended up in 9th position on the Premier League standings with a total of 59 points from a 38-game season. The Lilywhites didn’t have the best pre-season, however, we still expect them to be as competitive as they can be this season.
