Manchester United will be looking to win their third league game in a row on Saturday as they host relegation-threatened Watford in the Premier League.
A 4-2 win for United against fierce rivals Leeds saw Ralf Rangnick's side remain fourth in the Premier League table, with the gap reduced to just one point by Arsenal in midweek after their 2-1 win over Wolves.

United took full control of the game in the opening stages, carving out opportunities to score but were lacking that clinical touch. But the pressure from United continued, and a goal soon arrived with Paul Pogba finding the opener early
