Welcome to Leeds vs Man City

Pep Guardiola takes his side to Elland Road today having dropped to second in the table after Liverpool’s win at St James’ Park against Newcastle in the early kick-off.

Leeds are not by any stretch of the imagination out of the relegation battle but a victory today would surely put those fears to one side.

Jesse Marsch’s side are unbeaten in their last three home games against City and a surprise win today would see them move eight points clear of the relegation zone.

The Whites’ next three games are Man City, Arsenal and Chelsea with these fixtures going some way to defining their season in their bid to avoid the drop.

The Whites will ne without Adam Forshaw, Tyler Roberts, Crysencio Summerville and Patrick Bamford due to injury, though the latter is closing on a return to training and hopes to feature before the end of the season.

As for Man City, defensive duo John Stones and Kyle Walker remain sidelined with muscle and ankle injuries, Stones coming off against Madrid in the week while Walker has missed the last four matches across all competitions.

Joao Cancelo missed the Madrid game due to suspension but it expected to be back today.
