Manchester City Seek to Return to Winning Ways in Top Division, England Women Set to Play

Pep Claims City of Playing with Fear in Leverkusen Loss

Manchester City are aiming to bounce back when they host the Yorkshire club later today after enduring consecutive defeats against the Magpies in the domestic league and Leverkusen in the UCL.

Perhaps my expectations exceed their self-belief. It was a good lesson for me, despite my managerial experience I'll carry this insight forward.

Pep is expected to reinstate those he gave a break to against the Bundesliga side when facing Daniel Farke’s side.

Leeds Aim to Find Form at Etihad Stadium

Daniel Farke's squad aim to turn things around at the Etihad Stadium with Daniel Farke’s position in some doubt. Leeds United are 18th in the table of the top division, and after facing City, a crucial period approaches for the manager who, just months ago, won promotion from the second tier.

I’ll be honest, it’s not very enjoyable at the moment; we face criticism. However, I won't shy away. I knew about how passionate this club is from the beginning. If you're not up for the pressure don’t become manager of Leeds United. I didn't anticipate this term to be an simple task.
