Satuday's fifth and final EPL kick-off sees Man City travel to take on Leeds at what should be a typically bouncing Elland Road. Fresh from their away-day success against Aston Villa, the hosts will be looking to cause another upset, and after they very nearly held the Citizens to a tie earlier in the season, Daniel Farke's men may just fancy themselves to get the job done. It wasn't that long ago that the recent Championship graduates looked like a team heading back down to the second division, but it's fair to say that 2026 has so far been very positive.
By their own standard, the Citizens haven't done so well this season, let's be honest. Of course, they are second in the table, but they're five points behind in the race for the title, which isn't ideal as we head into March. However, Guardiola's men have found some consistency in recent weeks, winnign five on the spin in all competitions, and if they can continue to win with regularity, then there's no reason why they cannot chase the Gunners all the way to the end.

Our Leeds vs Manchester City Prediction
Since the turn of the year, or even slightly before, Daniel Farke's men have shown themselves to be very strong on the break in games of this nature, while they're also very useful from crosses and set pieces, so we should expect the hosts to do some damage here, especially as the Citizens have been anything but sturdy away from home, conceding in each of their last four road games in all competitions.
When the pair met in the season, they shared five goals, while we also shouldn't ignore the fact that both teams have scored in each of Leeds' last four games in all competitions, as well as in nine of their last 11 at home.
All things considered, I'd have 'Both Teams to Score' closer to -160, so if we can get -143, which we can at the time of writing, we're getting some all-important value.
Our Leeds vs Man City Pick: Both Teams to Score.
