Manchester City Look to Return to Winning Ways in Premier League, England Women in Action

Guardiola Accuses City of Showing Apprehension in Defeat to Leverkusen

Pep Guardiola's side look to respond positively when they host Leeds later today after enduring two losses in a row against the Magpies in the English top flight and Leverkusen in the European competition.

Perhaps my expectations exceed their self-belief. It was a good lesson for me, as experienced as I am as a manager I'll carry this insight forward.

The Manchester City manager is probably bringing back those he left out against the German team when facing Daniel Farke’s side.

Leeds hope to also find some form at the home of Manchester City with the manager's job in some doubt. Leeds United are near the bottom of the English football, and after facing City, a crucial period approaches for the coach who, just months ago, celebrated promotion from the EFL Championship.

I’ll be honest, things aren't fun right now; there's plenty of negativity. But I don’t need to hide. I was aware of how dedicated this team is from the first day. If you can’t handle the heat don’t become manager of Leeds United. I never expected this season to be an simple task.
