Manchester United are preparing to take on rivals Leeds United in the Premier League on Wednesday night.
The Red Devils, who will welcome their fierce rivals to Old Trafford, have a very good home record so far this season. Having lost just one game on home soil this campaign, Erik Ten Hag appears to be turning the Theatre of Dreams into a fortress once again.
Leeds, on the other hand, are in turmoil. After sacking manager Jesse Marsch at the start of the week, the Whites will travel to Manchester without a permanent boss.

Ahead of what is a hugely important match for both sides, Ten Hag will know that another home win will see the Red Devils go level on 45 points with cross-town enemies Manchester City and just five behind leaders Arsenal, and consequently, the Dutchman has issued a no-nonsense rallying cry to his team.
Assuring fans that the Reds know the importance of taking all three points, Ten Hag, as per the club, said: “It’s definitely a big game in this part of England. It’s a big game for us and our fans – it means so much.
“We know what we have to do.”
Tonight’s match is scheduled to kick off at 8 p.m. (GMT) but will not be broadcast on UK TV.
