Manchester United host Leeds this evening as they continue their push to qualify for next season’s Champions League.
After Chelsea, Brentford and Aston Villa all dropped points this weekend, Michael Carrick’s side have the opportunity to pull away from their rivals and solidify their hold on third place in the Premier League .
There will be considerable rust to shake off as they head to Old Trafford, though.
This match will be United’s first since their 2-2 draw at Bournemouth on March 20 - a full 24 days ago.
The Red Devils have lost only once since Carrick took over from Ruben Amorim, but that form will mean little as they return from a lay-off of over three weeks.
Leeds, meanwhile, were in FA Cup action last weekend as they pipped West Ham on penalties, and are fighting to keep their place in the top flight.
As things stand, they are just three points clear of the drop zone.
Sitting level on points with Nottingham Forest and only one clear of 17th-placed West Ham, a win would go a long way to boosting their survival chances.
