28th December 2022 – 21:00, Elland Road, Leeds
Leeds United and Manchester City will wrap up the action in the Premier League 17th round. The hosts search for a getaway from the danger zone, while the away side wants to continue chasing Arsenal in the top spot.
Leeds United Preview & Team News
Leeds United will be hoping to bounce back here following the 4-3 Premier League loss in their previous game against Tottenham Hotspur. That defeat broke their two-game winning streak that dragged them out of the relegation zone. Nevertheless, Leeds United is still far from safety, being two points ahead of the red line. It has been seldom in recent games where Leeds United hasn’t conceded. The facts show that Leeds United have failed to prevent opponents from scoring in 6 of their previous six clashes, leaking 14 goals in the process. Coming into this fixture, Leeds United have not beaten Manchester City in their last two league matches. Stuart Dallas (Femoral Fracture) and Junior Firpo (Knee Injury) won’t be playing for Leeds United manager Jesse Marsch.
Manchester City Preview & Team News
Manchester City will go into the clash following a 3-2 EFL Cup win with the downing of Liverpool in their last match. However, the Citizens need to bounce back in the English top flight since they lost to Brentford 2-1 just before the World Cup 2022 started. In their previous half-dozen outings, Manchester City has helped themselves to a total of 12 goals. Manchester City has also not failed to score in every single one of those games. During that period, they’ve seen six goals go into their own net. Ahead of this meeting, Manchester City remains undefeated over Leeds United in games played away from home for the previous two league matches. Thanks to a completely healthy group to choose from, Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola doesn’t have any fitness concerns to report before this match.
