Leeds vs Manchester City Match Preview

Premier League action is back and Leeds and Manchester City will play in the 17th game week, the next round after the Boxing Day.

Leeds is one of the most exciting teams in this season's Premier League. Their games are never boring and we often see a lot of goals. Their style is interesting and they are always looking to score goals. That can be problematic against Manchester City because historically in the last few seasons that kind of style is problematic against Pep Guardiola's side. Leeds is currently in 15th position with some impressive wins this season like that win on Anfield 1-2 against Liverpool.

Manchester City is currently second-laced in the league but in my opinion, is, and the bookmakers agree, that they are still the first favorite to win the title. It will be interesting to see how they will respond after the World Cup break, considering that their main players didn't play until the end of the World Cup, so for this game Foden, Haaland, De Bruyne, Bernardo Silva, Cancelo, Gundogan, Rodri should be ready to play.

Leeds can be a tricky opponent but they have a lot of injuries at the moment so that is a deficit for them. Manchester City already played one Cup game and prevailed against Liverpool. They scored 3 goals in that match. Having in mind that in the last 2 matches Manchester City won against Leeds with 7-0 and 0-4 it is going to be hard for the hosts to avoid one more defeat here.
