The Citizens Seek to Regain Form in English Top Flight, Lionesses in Action

Pep Claims Manchester City of Playing with Fear in Defeat to Leverkusen

The Sky Blues look to regroup when they host the Yorkshire club later today after losing consecutive defeats against the Magpies in the Premier League and Leverkusen in the Champions League.

Perhaps my expectations exceed their self-belief. This served as a valuable lesson, even with my background in coaching it was a good lesson for me for the future.

Guardiola is expected to reinstate those he gave a break to against the Bundesliga side when facing Daniel Farke’s side.

Leeds Aim to Find Form at Manchester

Leeds aim to turn things around at the home of Manchester City with Farke's role in slight jeopardy. His side are in the relegation zone of the top division, and after facing City, a pivotal week awaits for the manager who, recently, won promotion from the EFL Championship.

I’ll be honest, it’s not very enjoyable at the moment; there's plenty of negativity. But I don’t need to hide. I knew about how fervent this team is from the outset. If you can’t handle the heat steer clear of managing Leeds. I didn't anticipate this term to be an easy ride.
