Pep's Squad Seek to Bounce Back in Top Division, England Women Set to Play

Guardiola Claims Manchester City of Being Timid in Defeat to Leverkusen

Manchester City look to respond positively when they face Leeds later today after suffering consecutive defeats against Newcastle United in the English top flight and Bayer Leverkusen in the UCL.

Maybe I think higher of them than they think about themselves. It was a good lesson for me, as experienced as I am as a manager this will inform my future approach.

The Manchester City manager is likely to recall those he rested against the Leverkusen when facing the visiting team.

Leeds Aim to Find Form at Manchester

Leeds are seeking to improve their results at the City's ground with Daniel Farke’s position in some doubt. His side are in the relegation zone of the Premier League, and after this match, a important stretch approaches for the German who, recently, won promotion from the Championship.

I’ll be honest, the current situation is tough; we’re getting a lot of stick. But I don’t need to hide. I was aware of how passionate this club is from the outset. If you're not up for the pressure steer clear of managing Leeds. It wasn't my assumption this term to be an easy ride.
