Pep's Squad Seek to Bounce Back in Premier League, Lionesses Set to Play

City's Manager States Manchester City of Showing Apprehension in European Setback

Pep Guardiola's side look to respond positively when they face Leeds later today after suffering consecutive defeats against Newcastle United in the Premier League and Bayer Leverkusen in the European competition.

Perhaps my expectations exceed their self-belief. I learned something important, despite my managerial experience this will inform my future approach.

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

The Whites Look to Find Form at Etihad Stadium

Leeds hope to also find some form at the City's ground with the manager's job in some doubt. Leeds United are 18th in the table of the English football, and after this match, a crucial period looms for the coach who, just months ago, celebrated promotion from the Championship.

I’ll be honest, the current situation is tough; we’re getting a lot of stick. Yet I'm not avoiding this. I understood how fervent this organization is from the beginning. When the going gets tough avoid this job. I never expected this term to be an easy ride.

Premier League: Matchday 13 ... How Time Flies!

Premier League: The thirteenth round ... the season is moving fast! Will City revive their championship challenge? Could it be a tough period for Edwards? Is Estêvão in line for a start?
