Man City vs Leeds United prediction: Kevin De Bruyne to orchestrate another City win

Look no further than Manchester City even with Bielsa-ball arriving to the Etihad Stadium.

Pep Guardiola's side at favourites at 3/10 with Betfred while Leeds are 9/1 and a draw at 9/2.

Leeds have been a breath of fresh air under Marcelo Bielsa and remain committed to an attacking style of play that has surprised some and spurred them on to fight for a mid-table finish in their first season back in over 15 years.

City are the league's most prolific side though and will be looking to punish their opponents weaknesses and openings on the counter attack - and Kevin De Bruyne is the perfect man to orchestrate that.

A new contract for the playmaker will give him one less thing to worry about going on to the pitch as he looks to dictate play once again.

Tips

  • Man City to win and both sides to score - 13/8
  • Over 3.5 goals - 6/5

Leeds, however, will not go down without a fight and it will be a busy shift for Ederson in goal.

The Yorkshire club have played a style which has drawn as many plaudits as it has done critics.

Heavy defeats to Leicester City, Crystal Palace, Man United and Tottenham Hotspur has questioned whether Bielsa has enough to ensure Leeds compete long-term in the Premier League.

However, their league place prove they do and their scorelines shows their are goals, goals and even more goals. It is never boring watching a Bielsa side and with Leeds United in that mix, it is definitely an exciting one.
