Leeds have shortened from 2.90 to 2.55, and their steadier league record still makes the home side the value-leaning selection.

Prediction

Leeds United remain the prediction, with the 2-1 score lean unchanged. The home price has shortened from 2.90 to 2.55, while Manchester United are now available at 2.88, bringing the market closer to the original read. No confirmed lineups have been supplied, so there is no late team-news case to overturn the view. The goals markets have eased, which makes the price discussion more interesting.

The original Leeds lean still stands, although the price has changed materially. Leeds were previously quoted at 2.90, while the current best home price is 2.55; Manchester United have moved from the 2.37 reference in the published analysis to 2.88. That is a clear shift towards the hosts, and it means the market is no longer treating United as the shorter-priced side. It supports the underlying case for Leeds, even if 2.55 offers less margin than the earlier 2.90.

The available league record remains the core of the argument. Leeds are eighth with nine points from six games, scoring eight and conceding five. Manchester United are 14th with six points, having scored and conceded nine. Leeds' recent list includes the 4-1 win over Newcastle, but also a 2-1 defeat at Arsenal and three draws; United arrive after three draws, a loss to Manchester City and a 5-2 win over Ipswich. That leaves scope for United to score, but not enough evidence to abandon the home lean.

No confirmed starting lineups are available in the supplied data, so there is no decisive absence or selection development to reassess. The supporting goal prices have moved out: both teams to score is 1.66 versus 1.57 previously, while over 2.5 goals is 1.93 versus 1.64. Those drifts suggest a little less market confidence in an open game, but they also create more upside for outcomes consistent with the existing 2-1 Leeds view. Leeds to win remains a low-confidence position rather than a comfortable call.
