The Citizens Look to Bounce Back in Top Division, Lionesses Set to Play

Guardiola Accuses His Team of Playing with Fear in Defeat to Leverkusen

The Sky Blues look to respond positively when they host the Yorkshire club later today after suffering two losses in a row against Newcastle United in the domestic league and Bayer Leverkusen in the UCL.

Maybe I think higher of them than they think about themselves. I learned something important, as experienced as I am as a manager I'll carry this insight forward.

The Manchester City manager is expected to reinstate those he rested against the Bundesliga side when facing Leeds United.

The Whites Hope to Improve Performance at Manchester

The Yorkshire club hope to also find some form at the Etihad Stadium with the manager's job in question. Leeds United are 18th in the table of the Premier League, and after Manchester City, a important stretch awaits for the coach who, only last spring, celebrated promotion from the second tier.

I’ll be honest, it’s not very enjoyable at the moment; there's plenty of negativity. Yet I'm not avoiding this. I understood how fervent this club is from the first day. If you can’t handle the heat don’t become manager of Leeds United. It wasn't my assumption this campaign to be an straightforward journey.
