Manchester City is set to visit Elland Road on Saturday, aiming to close the point gap at the top of the table with a win over Leeds United.
The team is currently in great form, having won five matches in a row across all competitions. Manager Pep Guardiola led the squad to a hard-fought victory against Newcastle last weekend. City has a strong record against Leeds, winning their last five league encounters. They have also won their last two league matches at Elland Road and could achieve a third consecutive away win there for the first time since 1928.
Manchester City Team News
Guardiola’s squad is nearing full fitness, although some key players remain injured. Josko Gvardiol and Mateo Kovacic will miss the match. Jeremy Doku will undergo a late fitness test after returning to training. Therefore, Rayan Ait-Nouri and Ruben Dias are likely to lead a defense that has conceded only eight goals in 12 league matches. Young midfielder Nico O’Reilly has been impressive, scoring in his last two Premier League games.
Gianluigi Donnarumma will be in goal, with Ruben Dias and Marc Guéhi in defense. In midfield, Rodri will play alongside O’Reilly and captain Bernardo Silva. Phil Foden is expected to return to the starting lineup to support Erling Haaland and Antoine Semenyo in attack. Haaland scored twice in his last match at Elland Road and aims to be the first player in Premier League history to score 2+ goals in consecutive visits to the stadium.
