Pep's Squad Seek to Bounce Back in Top Division, England Women Taking the Field
Guardiola Accuses City of Showing Apprehension in Leverkusen Loss
Manchester City will hope to respond positively when they welcome Leeds later today after suffering two losses in a row against the Magpies in the Premier League and Bayer Leverkusen in the UCL.
It's possible I rate them more highly than they do themselves. I learned something important, as experienced as I am as a manager I'll carry this insight forward.
The Manchester City manager is likely to recall those he gave a break to against the Leverkusen when facing the visiting team.
Leeds Aim to Find Form at Manchester
The Yorkshire club hope to also find some form at the home of Manchester City with the manager's job in some doubt. Leeds United are 18th in the table of the English football, and after facing City, a pivotal week looms for the German who, just months ago, celebrated promotion from the second tier.
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 understood how passionate this team is from the first day. If you can’t handle the heat don’t become manager of Leeds United. I didn't anticipate this season to be an easy ride.
