Manchester City Seek to Return to Winning Ways in Premier League, Women's National Team in Action

Pep Claims Manchester City of Playing with Fear in Leverkusen Loss

The Sky Blues will hope to bounce back when they host the Yorkshire club later today after suffering two losses in a row against the Magpies in the English top flight and the German side in the UCL.

Perhaps my expectations exceed their self-belief. I learned something important, as experienced as I am as a manager this will inform my future approach.

Pep is likely to recall those he rested against the German team when facing Leeds United.

Leeds Hope to Find Form at Etihad Stadium

Leeds hope to also find some form at the home of Manchester City with Farke's role in slight jeopardy. His side are near the bottom of the top division, and after this match, a important stretch approaches for the German who, only last spring, won promotion from the Championship.

To be frank, the current situation is tough; there's plenty of negativity. But I don’t need to hide. I understood how dedicated this team is from the first day. If you can’t handle the heat don’t become manager of Leeds United. I didn't anticipate this campaign to be an straightforward journey.
