and live on Freeview channel 276
The American was replaced in the dugout by Michael Skubala, Chris Armas and Paco Gallardo on Wednesday night as these two sides could not be separated at Old Trafford. Leeds went two goals up shortly after half-time but were pegged back by Marcus Rashford and Jadon Sancho goals and left Manchester with just one point instead of three.
Due to a quirk of the Premier League fixture list, the Whites go up against their closest rivals for the second time in four days this afternoon – this time on home turf.

And Luis’ is a slightly different injury but he will think he’ll be okay, but we’re still going to assess whether it’s too early for him for Sunday.
