Leeds United v Manchester United tips - Old rivals set for cup battle

Sir Alex Ferguson will be keen to avoid embarrassment at Elland Road
One of the oldest and fiercest rivalries in English football will be resumed on Tuesday night when Manchester United travel to Elland Road to take on Leeds United in the Carling Cup third round.

Watch and bet on Leeds United v Manchester United live at Unibet>livestreaming>football from 19:45 GMT today.

Unibet make Man United favourites at 8/15 in the match odds while a Leeds win is 5/1 and a draw offered at 11/4.

Man United are certainly flying high in the Premier League at the moment and are experiencing their best start ever to a league campaign under Sir. Alex Ferguson. They are coming off the back of an impressive 3-1 win over Chelsea on Sunday, however, don’t expect the majority of that winning team to play a part on Tuesday night in the Carling Cup.

Ferguson has one of the best squads in European football and he will make wholesale changes to his starting eleven for the trip to Elland Road. The likes of Wayne Rooney, Ashley Young and Nani will be rested but Ferguson will still deploy a very strong team which could include Dimitar Berbatov, Michael Owen and Ryan Giggs. The manager knows what this match will mean to the fans and he will put out a side capable of getting the win.

Leeds United are currently 11th in the Championship after picking up 10 points from seven games. Their home record this season has been impressive and they have lost just once in six matches. They have a legitimate chance at challenging for a playoff position this season and should be in the mix at the end of the campaign if they continue their form. Ross McCormack has been outstanding upfront for the side and he has already bagged six goals in seven games.

To reach the third round of the Carling Cup, Leeds first defeated Bradford 3-2 and then got a 2-1 victory away to Doncaster Rovers. Cheered on by the passionate Elland Road crowd, Leeds are sure to be fired up for the arrival of old rivals Manchester United.

In the betting for Tuesday’s game, Leeds look an attractive price at 5/1 but this Man United side will still contain a lot of quality and should have enough to get the job done. There will also be a revenge factor to the game as Ferguson will not have forgotten that Leeds came to Old Trafford in January 2010 and turned over United in a shock 1-0 result in the FA Cup.

Also, back over 2.5 goals at 1/2 with Unibet. In Leeds’ last six matches they have all had 3 or more goals while Man United are always going to be an attacking threat and are capable of bagging a couple.

Tip #1: Back Manchester United to win at 8/15 with Unibet

Tip #2: Back Over 2.5 goals at 1/2 with Unibet
