Leeds - Manchester City: Form Analysis

Leeds United made a bright start to this season after last season's relegation battle. However, their form soon went on a downward spiral with a run of two points from eight games. Late October and early November saw them win at Anfield and at home to Bournemouth. Their inconsistency shone through again though when they were beaten 4-3 at Tottenham after leading three times in the match. Their last two league games have both ended 4-3 and both teams have scored in four of their last five league games. Home form has seen United win one of their last five Premier League matches and they had to come from 3-1 down to win that. They are only two points above the bottom three but have a couple of games in hand.

Manchester City have won 10 of their 14 Premier League games this season and are the top scorers with 40 goals. They find themselves in third place in the table and certainly can't afford to drop points in this match. City lost their last league game before the World Cup break. That was a 2-1 home loss to Brentford, only their second league loss of the season. The other was away at Liverpool in mid-October and the three games played between those two losses were all won. City have only played six away league games this season (compared to eight at home) and have won three of those. They have only lost one of their last 24 away Premier League fixtures and won 4-0 at Leeds in April. The other Premier League between these two clubs last season saw City win 7-0. This is their second game since the season resumed and they beat Liverpool at home in the EFL Cup last week to reach the quarter finals.

Leeds & Manchester City Squad Analysis

Manchester City had the advantage of Erling Haaland not playing in the World Cup and Kevin du Bruyne losing out in the group stages. They put Grealish, Foden and Stones on the bench for the EFL Cup tie against Liverpool but all three came on in the second half. Kalvin Phillips isn't in the good books of Pep Guardiola at present . He was criticised for coming back from the World Cup carrying a few too many pounds than he should. Ruben Dias is out injured and Julian Alvarez is yet to be considered after his World Cup heroics. Leeds United have Tyler Adams suspended but are hopeful goalie Illan Meslier will be fit after recently suffering from glandular fever.

Leeds - Manchester City Key Points

  1. Manchester City scored 11 goals without reply in their two league games against Leeds last season.
  2. Manchester City have only lost one of their last 24 away Premier League games.
  3. Manchester City will field a strong starting line-up/bench as they did in the EFL Cup last week
  4. Leeds United have only won one of their last five home league matches.
  5. Leeds United have conceded at least twice in four of their last five league fixtures.

Our Leeds vs Manchester City Prediction

Manchester City have a tough set of fixtures on the horizon including playing Chelsea in both the Premier League and FA Cup. They can't afford any slip-ups with Arsenal and Newcastle both in excellent form at present. City are eight points behind leaders Arsenal but have this game in hand. The World Cup doesn't seem to have affected them too much and they will have a strong team starting this game with a bench far more powerful than their opponents possess. Leeds could well be in another relegation battle this season and only five teams have conceded more than them in the Premier League this season. Our Leeds United v Manchester City prediction is for City to win this game and be ahead at both half and full time.

Leeds vs Manchester City - Other Interesting Predictions

Manchester City to win and over 2.5 goals

Leeds United have the worst defences in the Premier League with seven goals conceded in the last two games. They take on a City side who have already scored 40 league goals this season and of course have Erling Haaland. A City win with over 2.5 goals being scored looks a winning bet.

Erling Haaland to score the first goal

Haaland continues to be awesome for City up front and scored against Liverpool last week. A bet on him scoring the first goal in this match has to be in with a good chance of success.
