Leeds United vs Man City preview
Two sides in pretty solid runs of form and it makes for an interesting late kick-off on Saturday.
Leeds are unbeaten in four with great back-to-back Premier League draws coming in away games at Chelsea and Aston Villa. It’s three unbeaten in the league with a win over Nottingham Forest prior to those draws.
That’s ensured Leeds go into the weekend six points clear of danger and their good run of form at home has been a real help to that.
Bar a thumping 4-0 defeat by Arsenal, it’s four wins and two draws at Elland Road in their last seven games and in the ‘home’ league table, they would find themselves in 12th.
But similar to that doing handed out by the Gunners, they welcome a team with a title to win and a Manchester City side in red-hot form.
City have won seven and drawn one – that collapse as Spurs – in their last eight games and have four clean sheets in that time too.
It’s usually about the time of the season where Pep Guardiola’s men start motoring and that’s what looks like happening.
Though their recent Achilles heel has been their away form, with the win at Anfield putting an end to a winless run on their travels. They haven’t been away from the Etihad since that afternoon so that form will be under the microscope once more.

Leeds United vs Man City predictions
City charge
You can’t ignore Leeds’ good form in this and the fact they score plenty of goals too.
But you also have to see how Arsenal dismantled them at home and this Man City side can do that to anyone at any given time.
Probably won’t be much of a surprising score no matter how this one pans out but City need the win and – despite Leeds likely to score – they can close the gap at the top once more.
