Leeds United, Recent FormThe 4-3 away defeat to Tottenham Hotspur will not have sat easily with the Leeds United squad, who would not have been pleased to squander all three points. In that game they had 45% possession and managed 12 attempts on goal, with 5 on target, compared to Tottenham Hotspur who had 14 attempts and 8 on target.
Having lost 14 goals in their past 6 matches, boss Jesse Marsch will surely be casting a critical eye over his defensive line, even though his team managed to pick up some points along the way due to the 11 goals they scored. They have produced a defensive record this season that they won't be proud of, having conceded at least 1 goal in 12 of their 14 league matches.
Losing 4 of their last 6 outings will not be looked on kindly by their manager; however, they did salvage some valuable points by winning the other 2 games.
Rodrigo Moreno will be aiming to add his name to the scoresheet again to extend his goal tally of 5 goals in the last 6 league outings for Leeds United.
Manchester City, Recent FormThe Manchester City squad will be suffering from a feeling of disappointment after falling to a 2-1 home defeat against Brentford, which saw them drop all three points and come away from the game empty-handed. Their share of possession in that meeting was 75%, while racking up 29 shots along the way, 6 of which were on target, in contrast to the numbers reached by Brentford, who had 10 shots on goal with 8 on target.
Manager Pep Guardiola will be reasonably pleased with his team's performances in front of goal, with them having scored 11 goals in their last 6 games, but will want to tighten up his defence with 5 goals conceded in the same period. They are proving to be well organised on their travels, having kept 3 clean sheets in their last 6 games. Few teams have managed to keep The Citizens away from their goal, having scored in all but 1 of their games this season.
They have had a good run of form recently, winning 4 out of their last 6 games.
On an individual basis, Erling Haaland will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 18 goals in Manchester City's 14 league games this season.
A defeat for Leeds United in their last match against Manchester City was not completely unexpected, but they will have been disappointed to lose by 4 goals.
The Citizens will feel sure their attacking prowess will yield results in this one, having scored at least 1 goal in the previous 7 encounters with Leeds. Ahead of this match, Leeds won't like the look of their goal stats, having failed to secure a goal in any of their last 2 meetings against The Citizens. Man City have an impressive record of scoring goals against The Whites, with a tally of 14 goals against them in their previous 5 encounters.
Man City has won the last 2 games they've played against Leeds in the league.
Nathan Aké has scored in each of Man City's last 0 league games against Leeds.
Leeds manager Jesse Marsch has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Patrick Bamford (Hip), Stuart Dallas (Broken leg), Adam Forshaw (Ankle), Joe Gelhardt (Knock), Archie Gray (Ankle), Jack Harrison (Muscle), Mateusz Klich (Knee) and Luis Sinisterra (Foot) are all currently out of contention for this game.
There is only really one injury concern for the Man City manager Pep Guardiola ahead of this clash, with Kyle Walker (Groin) missing out, which gives Guardiola a strong squad to pick his starting eleven from.
