The Citizens Aim to Return to Winning Ways in English Top Flight, Lionesses Taking the Field

Guardiola Accuses Manchester City of Playing with Fear in European Setback

Pep Guardiola's side are aiming to bounce back when they host Leeds later today after suffering two losses in a row against the Magpies in the English top flight and Bayer Leverkusen in the UCL.

Perhaps my expectations exceed their self-belief. I learned something important, even with my background in coaching I'll carry this insight forward.

Guardiola is expected to reinstate those he rested against the Bundesliga side when facing Daniel Farke’s side.

Leeds Hope to Regain Momentum at Etihad Stadium

Leeds hope to also find some form at the Etihad Stadium with Daniel Farke’s position in slight jeopardy. His side are near the bottom of the English football, and after facing City, a important stretch awaits for the manager who, only last spring, won promotion from the EFL Championship.

To be frank, it’s not very enjoyable at the moment; we’re getting a lot of stick. But I don’t need to hide. I knew about how passionate this club is from the first day. When the going gets tough steer clear of managing Leeds. I didn't anticipate this season to be an straightforward journey.
