PEP GUARDIOLA’S Manchester City look to keep the pressure on Premier League leaders Arsenal as they travel to Elland Road to face a resilient Leeds United this Saturday evening.
Manchester City (2nd) arrive in Yorkshire in imperious form. The champions have won five straight matches across all competitions, including a crucial 2-1 victory over Newcastle last weekend. Sitting just behind Arsenal in the title race, City know they cannot afford any slip-ups as they chase a fifth title in six seasons.
They face a Leeds United side (15th) fighting for survival but proving incredibly tough to beat. Daniel Farke’s men are unbeaten in their last three Premier League outings, having secured impressive back-to-back away draws against Chelsea (2-2) and Aston Villa (1-1). The Elland Road faithful will create a hostile atmosphere, hoping their side can secure a statement win to pull further clear of the relegation zone.

The betting angle: City to outgun the Peacocks?
With winger Noah Okafor ruled out due to a hamstring injury, the attacking burden for Leeds falls squarely on Dominic Calvert-Lewin. The English striker has enjoyed a highly productive campaign, netting 10 league goals so far, but he will be starved of service against a City side that dominates possession.
City have been ruthless in front of goal, scoring 56 times in 27 matches, and they will look to exploit a Leeds defence that has already leaked 46 goals this season. However, Leeds have a knack for growing into games at Elland Road—there have been second-half goals in 21 of their last 22 league matches. Expect a tight first half before City’s undeniable quality shines through in the final 45 minutes.
