Manchester City will look to make it six successive wins in the Premier League when they host Leeds tonight.
A 1-0 victory over Wolves on Saturday kept Pep Guardiola’s men in first place in the table and this clash comes before either Chelsea or Liverpool have a chance to play.
Although Leeds sit 15th with just three wins from 16 games, they were one of the only teams to cause real problems for City during their run to last year’s title. A draw at Elland Road was followed by a shock win at the Etihad thanks to a late Stuart Dallas finish.
But injury problems, not least to Patrick Bamford and Kalvin Phillips, have plagued the Whites this time around and a last-minute defeat at Chelsea went down as a big missed opportunity.
