Manchester City host Leeds United in the Premier League today in the weekend’s early kick-off.
When the teams last clashed, Leeds’ record signing Rodrigo earned Marcelo Bielsa’s side a well-deserved 1-1 draw in an entertaining meeting.
Eleventh-placed Leeds will be up against it this afternoon, however, with league leaders Man City 14 points clear of second-placed rivals United, who have a game in hand, entering the final stretch of the season.
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.
