The Citizens Aim to Regain Form in English Top Flight, Women's National Team Taking the Field
Guardiola Claims His Team of Playing with Fear in Defeat to Leverkusen
Pep Guardiola's side are aiming to respond positively when they face Leeds United later today after enduring consecutive defeats against Newcastle in the Premier League and Leverkusen in the European competition.
It's possible I rate them more highly than they do themselves. It was a good lesson for me, even with my background in coaching this will inform my future approach.
Guardiola is probably bringing back those he left out against the Leverkusen when facing Daniel Farke’s side.
The Whites Aim to Improve Performance at Etihad Stadium
Daniel Farke's squad aim to turn things around at the City's ground with Farke's role in some doubt. Leeds United are in the relegation zone of the Premier League, and after this match, a pivotal week looms for the coach who, only last spring, won promotion from the Championship.
Truthfully, the current situation is tough; we’re getting a lot of stick. Yet I'm not avoiding this. I was aware of how dedicated this team is from the first day. When the going gets tough don’t become manager of Leeds United. I never expected this term to be an straightforward journey.
