Pep Guardiola's side are aiming to respond positively when they face Leeds United later today after suffering two losses in a row against Newcastle United in the domestic league and Leverkusen in the Champions League.

Guardiola is likely to recall those he gave a break to against the Bundesliga side when facing Leeds United.

Leeds hope to also find some form at the home of Manchester City with Daniel Farke’s position in question. His side are near the bottom of the top division, and after facing City, a pivotal week looms for the German who, only last spring, earned promotion from the EFL Championship.
I’ll be honest, it’s not very enjoyable at the moment; we’re getting a lot of stick. However, I won't shy away. I was aware of how passionate this team is from the first day. If you're not up for the pressure steer clear of managing Leeds. I didn't anticipate this season to be an simple task.
