Manchester City welcome Leeds United to the Etihad Stadium in the Premier League this afternoon in the weekend’s early kick-off.
When the sides last met, Rodrigo earned Leeds a deserved 1-1 draw in a competitive clash, but the 11th-placed club face a tough test today.
League leaders Man City are 14 points ahead of second-placed rivals United, who have a match in hand, heading into the final stretch of the campaign.
Bielsa’s players are in good form, at least, unbeaten in their last three outings with victories in the last two. The last result was a 2-1 win against bottom-placed Sheffield United, while City come into today’s fixture on the back of three straight victories in the top flight and a Champions League quarter-final first-leg win over Borussia Dortmund earlier this week.
Here’s everything you need to know about today’s game.
When is it?
The match will kick off at 12.30pm BST this afternoon.
How can I watch it?
The fixture will air live on BT Sport 1, with subscribers also able to stream it live on the broadcaster’s website and app.
What is the team news?
Pep Guardiola should have a fully fit Man City squad to pick from, while Leeds will be without Adam Forshaw and Jack Harrison, who is unable to face his parent club.
