Manchester City are hitting their stride at an important stage in the season and the Premier League title contenders will be eager to avoid any slip-ups when they head to Elland Road to face Leeds United on Saturday evening.

The Cityzens will make the trip across the Pennines on the back of an eight-game winning run and will be full of confidence going into this game.

However, having scraped a 3-2 win in injury time at the Etihad Stadium against the Whites, City will know three points won’t be simply handed to them by Daniel Farke’s men.

Team news

Starting with the hosts, Gabriel Gudmundsson is available after recovering from illness but the game will come too soon for winger Noah Okafor due to a hamstring injury that is likely to keep the Swiss star out of action for up to four weeks.

As for the visitors, City will have to continue without long-term absentees Josko Gvardiol and Mateo Kovacic, while Jeremy Doku and Max Alleyne are both doubts for the trip to West Yorkshire.

The stats

Leeds United are unbeaten in their last four games in all competitions, while the Whites have lost just one of their last seven home games in the Premier League and that was against frontrunners Arsenal.

Manchester City are in good overall form but on the road they have won just one of their last four away games in all competitions.

Man City edged a 3-2 win when these sides last met at the Etihad Stadium back in November.

Leeds’ last home win over Man City in the Premier League was back in March 2004, with Stephen McPhail and Mark Viduka scoring in a 2-1 win in which Nicolas Anelka scored for the Cityzens.

Prediction

City are in great form and will travel across the Pennines full of belief that they can secure a league double over Leeds.

Although City are expected to fashion enough opportunities to take all three points, Leeds have proved difficult to break down on their own patch, so it would not be surprising if the Whites managed to get on the scoresheet.

Leeds have drawn a blank in just one of their last 11 Premier League matches at Elland Road, and the appeal lies with the hosts finding the net despite ending up on the losing side.
