THE LOWDOWN
LEEDS UTD
- A hard-fought point for Leeds Utd ensures space between themselves and the bottom three heading into this one, but with a tough run of fixtures ahead, you can forgive Leeds fans for starting to nervously look over their shoulders.
- Strikers Patrick Bamford, Tyler Roberts and central midfielder Adam Forshaw remain out whilst Junior Firpo needs to be assessed.
MAN CITY
- Man City fans are likely still catching their breath following an enthralling Champions League semi-final first-leg clash with Real Madrid, but the reigning Premier League winners must pivot quickly and focus all their attention on what will prove a difficult assignment here.
- Injury to John Stones forced the defender off in midweek and will keep him out of this one alongside Kyle Walker, but Joao Cancelo will almost certainly return to the starting line-up after missing the Real Madrid game through suspension.

THE PREDICTION
A cauldron of an atmosphere at Elland Road combined with Leeds Utd’s desperation to win for the sake of their Premier League survival prospects make this arguably Man City’s toughest Premier League test between now and the end of the season. However, Pep Guardiola’s side are made of tough stuff and have every right to feel confident against a team they scored seven against in the reverse fixture, regardless of their change in head coach. Whilst this encounter certainly won’t be as one-sided, the visitors are still expected to come out on top.
Tip: MAN CITY TO WIN
