Premier League football match between Leeds United and Manchester United at Elland Road, dedicated to the No Room For Racism campaign.
Leeds United take on Manchester United at Elland Road on Sunday 18 October, kick-off at 14:00. It's one of the biggest fixtures of the weekend, Daniel Farke's Leeds hosting their rivals from over the Pennines in a clash that's already got the city talking.
Leeds have started the campaign in strong form, taking nine points from their opening five outings. They've also put together the joint-best defensive record in the top flight, with goalkeeper James Trafford leading the league on 24 saves. There's a bit of recent history to this one, too: towards the end of last season, Noah Okafor's double fired Leeds to their first league win at Old Trafford in 45 years, so the Whites will be keen to keep that momentum going on home turf.
Manchester United arrive in a different state of things, without a win in four and just one victory this term. It's a bit of a contrast in form between the two sides, which only adds to the build-up.

Kick-off is 14:00, with the pre-match build-up starting from 1:30pm.
