Leeds
Leeds is currently on the 11th spot in the Championship, with 10 points in 7 games, record of W3 D1 L3. The team has lost the last 6 Cup games against Premier League opposition and has lost the last 4 Cup games against Manchester United. Leeds met Bratford in the first round, winning with 3:2 at home. In the second round the team met Doncaster, and advanced to round 3 after a victory with 2:1. The player United’s defense should watch out for tonight is definitely Ramon Nunez, who has scored 4 goals in 2 Cup games.
Manchester United
Manchester United remains unbeaten in the season, recording 5 victories from 5 league games, a draw in Champions League and a victory in the Community Shield. Of course a lot of youngsters and reserves are expected to show up in this game. The team has been knocked out only once in the past 9 campaigns, when they allowed a loss to Coventry with 0:2. The last time United was on this stadium for a Cup game, the match ended 1:1, but the team won in Over Time with 3:2.

Because of the most recent Carling Cup result in regular time (1:1) the draw here is priced at 10/3 by bet365
If you take a closer look in the statistics you would see that 7 out of the 14 games here, have ended with just 1 goal difference. Most often, the score of 1:0 present 3 times, priced at 22/1 for Leeds and 9/1 for Manchester United, by bet365
For those that are unsure how the game is going to end in regular time, but are certain which team will advance, Leeds has the odds of 10/3 and United has the odds of 1/5, given out by bet365.
I believe United has what it takes to win this match, despite the fact that we should see a lot of youngsters and reserves show up. My prediction United to win, with a minimal lead.
