The Citizens Seek to Return to Winning Ways in Premier League, Lionesses Set to Play

Pep Accuses Manchester City of Showing Apprehension in Defeat to Leverkusen

Pep Guardiola's side are aiming to bounce back when they host Leeds later today after enduring two losses in a row against Newcastle in the domestic league and the German side in the European competition.

Maybe I think higher of them than they think about themselves. I learned something important, despite my managerial experience this will inform my future approach.

Guardiola is probably bringing back those he left out against the Leverkusen when facing the visiting team.

Leeds Aim to Regain Momentum at Manchester

Leeds hope to also find some form at the City's ground with Daniel Farke’s position in some doubt. The team are 18th in the table of the top division, and after this match, a crucial period looms for the manager who, only last spring, earned promotion from the EFL Championship.

I’ll be honest, it’s not very enjoyable at the moment; we face criticism. However, I won't shy away. I was aware of how fervent this team is from the outset. When the going gets tough avoid this job. I never expected this campaign to be an simple task.
