The Citizens Seek to Bounce Back in Premier League, Women's National Team Set to Play
Pep Claims City of Being Timid in European Setback
Pep Guardiola's side will hope to regroup when they welcome Leeds United later today after losing consecutive defeats against Newcastle in the domestic league and Leverkusen in the European competition.
Maybe I think higher of them than they think about themselves. It was a good lesson for me, even with my background in coaching it was a good lesson for me for the future.
Guardiola is likely to recall those he rested against the Leverkusen when facing Daniel Farke’s side.
The Whites Aim to Find Form at Manchester
Leeds hope to also find some form at the Etihad Stadium with Daniel Farke’s position in slight jeopardy. Leeds United are near the bottom of the top division, and after facing City, a pivotal week approaches for the coach who, only last spring, earned promotion from the Championship.
To be frank, it’s not very enjoyable at the moment; we’re getting a lot of stick. Yet I'm not avoiding this. I knew about how passionate this organization is from the outset. When the going gets tough steer clear of managing Leeds. I didn't anticipate this campaign to be an straightforward journey.
