Manchester City Seek to Regain Form in Top Division, Lionesses Set to Play

Pep Guardiola's side will hope to respond positively when they welcome Leeds United later today after enduring back-to-back matches against the Magpies in the English top flight and Bayer Leverkusen in the European competition.

Perhaps my expectations exceed their self-belief. This served as a valuable lesson, as experienced as I am as a manager I'll carry this insight forward.

Guardiola is likely to recall those he gave a break to against the Bundesliga side when facing Daniel Farke’s side.

The Yorkshire club hope to also find some form at the home of Manchester City with Farke's role in some doubt. The team are 18th in the table of the top division, and after this match, a important stretch approaches for the manager who, only last spring, won promotion from the second tier.

I’ll be honest, things aren't fun right now; we’re getting a lot of stick. However, I won't shy away. I understood how fervent this club is from the beginning. If you can’t handle the heat steer clear of managing Leeds. It wasn't my assumption this term to be an easy ride.
