Team news, stats, predictions and how to follow the Premier League on Sunday as Leeds host Manchester United, live on Sky Sports.

Leeds vs Manchester United – Sunday; kick-off 2pm, live on Sky Sports from 1pm

Team News: Stuart Dallas, forced out of last week’s defeat at Everton after colliding with Alex Iwobi, has not been ruled out by Leeds boss Marcelo Bielsa.

Midfielder Kalvin Phillips, defender Liam Cooper and striker Patrick Bamford remain sidelined and defender Leo Hjelde has sustained a knee injury.

Edinson Cavani remains out for the visitors with a groin complaint but Raphael Varane is available after illness saw him withdraw from the starting line-up against Brighton.

Eric Bailly and Nemanja Matic are in contention, but Tom Heaton may be unavailable and Mason Greenwood remains suspended.

Opta stats…

• Leeds have won just one of their last 16 Premier League games against Manchester United (D5 L10), beating them 1-0 at Elland Road in September 2002.
• Only Norwich City (50) have conceded more Premier League goals than Leeds United so far this season (46). Since their last clean sheet against Crystal Palace in November, the Whites have shipped 26 goals in just nine Premier League matches.
• Manchester United have scored in each of their last 14 Premier League away games, last failing to do so at Leeds in April (0-0). The Red Devils are the only side to have scored in 100% of their away games in the top-flight this term.
• Leeds have lost two of their last three Premier League home games (W1), as many as they had in their previous 14 at Elland Road (W5 D7).
• Manchester United forward Cristiano Ronaldo’s last Premier League appearance against Leeds was on October 18 2003 – if he plays in this game, it will be the longest ever gap for a player between games against a specific opponent in the competition (18 years 125 days).

Wolves vs Leicester – Sunday; kick-off 4.30pm, live on Sky Sports from 4.15pm

Team News: Wolves boss Bruno Lage confirmed he has no injury concerns for the first time since he joined the club as his side prepares to face Leicester on Sunday.

Joao Moutinho resumed full training on Thursday after he missed the last two Premier League games with a calf injury.

Lage has also been boosted with the return of Pedro Neto – who missed 10 months of action with a knee injury – and the 21-year-old winger could potentially make his first appearance of the season this weekend.

Hwang Hee-Chan came off the bench in the final minutes of Wolves 2-0 win at Tottenham last week and is in contention to play more minutes while defenders Willy Boly and Yerson Mosquera have also returned to full training.

Leicester have been assessing James Maddison and Caglar Soyuncu after both had to come off late on in the Europa Conference League win over Randers on Thursday.

Midfielder Maddison departed the field having felt “unwell” and “a little bit faint”, boss Brendan Rodgers said, and defender Soyuncu subsequently followed due to a knee issue.

Checks are being made on Luke Thomas (hamstring) and Ricardo Pereira as well, while the game comes too soon for Wesley Fofana to make a comeback. The Foxes also have James Justin, Jamie Vardy, Jonny Evans, Timothy Castagne and Ryan Bertrand sidelined.

Opta stats…

• Wolves are winless in their last five Premier League games against Leicester (D3 L2), failing to score a single goal in this run.
• Wolves have won just one of their last five Premier League home games (D2 L2), beating Southampton 3-1 last month. Indeed, just 38% of their points have come in home games this season (14/37), the lowest ratio in the division this term.
• Leicester are winless in their last four Premier League games (D2 L2), last having a longer run without victory in the competition between January and February 2019 under Claude Puel (6 – D1 L5).
• Wolves’ 23 Premier League games this season have seen just 38 goals scored (F21 A17). Their average of 1.65 goals-per-game is the second lowest in an English top-flight campaign, after Liverpool in 1970-71 (1.57).
• Leicester City are the only side without an away clean sheet in the Premier League this season, shipping 23 goals in their 10 games on the road this term. Overall, they’ve conceded in each of their last 17 Premier League away games, since a goalless draw at Wolves 378 days ago.
