“Their manager does an incredible job of creating a tactical model that is very complex and one that the players understand very, very well and are able to execute very well. It's one that's incredibly difficult to defend against.
“That's what you see more often than anything, Man City has an ability to control the match over time by their quality and movement and ideas and their ability to unbalance you."
Pep Guardiola: “It's tougher because Leeds is tough. The crowd, they are fighting for points. We need points. We know it. The people feel it. The players trained today with incredible focused I think everybody at the club knows what we're playing for and what they have to do.
“We make an incredible last three games, lots of goals we score and that's what we must continue to do. In football sometimes you get rewards sometimes you must accept defeats.”
