Manchester City v Leeds – Line-ups, stats and preview

Manchester City v Leeds match preview

Back-to-back defeats against Newcastle and Bayer Leverkusen has stalled the momentum for Pep Guardiola’s City side who go into the weekend in third place in the Premier League table.

City had been on a fine run but need to beat newly-promoted Leeds to keep any sort of pressure on leaders Arsenal.

Striker Erling Haaland – whose father played for Leeds – is one goal away from reaching 100 in the Premier League and has scored in his last five league games at the Etihad.

City have won 23 of their last 25 matches against newly-promoted teams and put seven past Leeds in 2021.

Daniel Farke goes into this weekend with his side in 18th place and with just one win in their last six games.

Can Leeds upset the odds?

Manchester City v Leeds team news

City rotated their squad for the Champions League in midweek but were flat and lifeless in defeat. Expect most of the ‘big’ names such as Haaland to come straight back into the side while Gigi Donnarumma will return in goal.

Rodri is still not fit after a hamstring problem while Mateo Kovacic remains out with an ankle injury.

Leeds are without giant midfielder Anton Stach who has concussion, and Sean Longstaff is starting a month on the sidelines with a calf injury.

Manchester City v Leeds expected line-ups

City: Donnarumma; Nunes, Dias, Gvardiol, O’Reilly; Bernardo, Gonzalez; Cherki, Foden, Doku; Haaland

Leeds: Perri; Bogle, Rodon, Struijk, Gudmundsson; Gruev, Ampadu, Tanaka; James, Nmecha, Gnonto

Prediction

Man City

3 – 0

Leeds

City may have come unstuck this week but they should have far too much for Leeds to deal with as Haaland – born in Leeds – looks to reach his century.
