The Premier League returns to the fold with another set of matches this weekend as Leeds United lock horns with Pep Guardiola's Manchester City side in an important encounter at the Etihad Stadium on Saturday. The two teams have experienced contrasting fortunes this season and will want to win this game.
Manchester City vs Leeds United Preview
Manchester City are in third place in the Premier League standings and have stepped up to the plate this season. The Cityzens slumped to a shock 2-0 defeat at the hands of Bayer Leverkusen in the UEFA Champions League in their previous game and have a point to prove this weekend.
Leeds United, on the other hand, are in 18th place in the league table and have not been at their best this season. The away side suffered a 2-1 defeat against Aston Villa last week and will need to work hard to bounce back in this match.
