One of the Premier League’s biggest grudge matches kicks off the action on Sunday as Manchester United travel to take on Leeds United at Elland Road.
Leeds, who are unbeaten across their past six league games, have not beaten their rivals since 2002. They will be hoping to get the better of Ruben Amorim’s side, who endured an underwhelming draw with bottom side Wolves in their last game.
Later, Chelsea have their first fixture since the departure of manager Enzo Maresca when they travel to Manchester City. In the Gallagher Prem, Leicester host Saracens.
Overnight, England made a strong start to the fifth Ashes Test and finished 211-3 after the day’s play ended early due to adverse weather.
Luke Littler, meanwhile, became only the fourth man to win back-to-back PDC World Championships when he beat Gian van Veen to clinch the £1m price last night.
