The Citizens Seek to Return to Winning Ways in Premier League, Women's National Team in Action

Guardiola States City of Playing with Fear in European Setback

The Sky Blues look to respond positively when they host Leeds United later today after losing back-to-back matches against Newcastle United in the English top flight and the German side in the Champions League.

Maybe I think higher of them than they think about themselves. It was a good lesson for me, as experienced as I am as a manager this will inform my future approach.

Pep is expected to reinstate those he rested against the German team when facing Daniel Farke’s side.

Leeds Hope to Find Form at City's Home Ground

The Yorkshire club aim to turn things around at the City's ground with Daniel Farke’s position in slight jeopardy. His side are 18th in the table of the English football, and after Manchester City, a pivotal week approaches for the manager who, only last spring, won promotion from the EFL Championship.

To be frank, things aren't fun right now; there's plenty of negativity. But I don’t need to hide. I understood how passionate this organization is from the first day. If you're not up for the pressure steer clear of managing Leeds. I didn't anticipate this campaign to be an easy ride.
