About this Game:-

Manchester City's mission to dethrone Arsenal at the top of the Premier League table resumes on Wednesday when the champions take on Leeds United at Elland Road. Pep Guardiola's side is five points behind the table-top Gunners at the time of this writing, while the Whites entered the World Cup break in 15th place with 15 matching points.

 

 

An EFL Cup exit at the hands of Wolverhampton Wanderers preceded another seven-goal thriller for Leeds, although they came off the wrong end of a 4-3 scoreline against Tottenham Hotspur on 12 November to leave them suspended just two places above the relegation zone. at position 15. Results that are not going well for Leeds this week could see them dip below the dotted line before the new year, but Marsch's side can be satisfied with their form in the winter-friendly spell, recording 2-1 successes over Elche and Real Sociedad before going down 4 -2 to Monaco.

 

While scoring in seven of their last eight competitive and uncompetitive fixtures can be viewed positively, failing to keep 11 consecutive clean sheets cannot, and in just five of the hosts' 17 Premier League games at Elland Road this term they ended. in victory. Since beating Arsenal in 1999, Leeds has failed to overcome the reigning English champions at home, and ex-Red Bull Salzburg manager Marsch will be well aware of the indomitable powers the Man forward has City, born in Yorkshire.

 

 

The Leeds-born man now aims to dampen the festive cheer around Elland Road on his return to West Yorkshire, and a well-rested Erling Braut Haaland will pay no thought to the sentimental value of a club reunion his father flaunted with pride at the time. colors. from. It took the dazzling Scandinavian 10 minutes to get back to his scoring form in Man City's EFL Cup fourth-round match against Liverpool last week, where more goals from Riyad Mahrez and Nathan Ake canceled out goals from Fabio Carvalho and Mohamed Salah to see Guardiola triumph. the team advances to the round of 16 thanks to a 3-2 victory.

 

 

As nice as it would be to add another EFL Cup to that overflowing cabinet section, Man City have some serious work to do when it comes to usurping Premier League leaders Arsenal which would increase their lead over the champions at the top to eight points. if they do. beat West Ham United on Boxing Day. Some of the Etihad loyalists may still be having Ivan Toney-themed nightmares following Brentford's stunning late victory at the Etihad just before the World Cup break, but the away contingent can breathe a sigh of relief knowing their side they have conceded just one goal in their last six away games in all competitions.

 

Leeds impressively prevented Man City from winning one of their games in the 2020-21 Premier League season, but the champions edged past the Whites by 11 points last year, scoring in a 7-0 victory at the Etihad before claiming a 4-0 win at Elland Road just eight months ago. Leeds' doctors have been working tirelessly to recover as many players as possible for Marsch, who is missing suspended Tyler Adams, long-term injury victims Stuart Dallas and Archie Gray, and Luis Sinisterra.

 

First-choice goalkeeper Illan Meslier is recovering from glandular fever and is one of the doubts alongside Patrick Bamford, Crysencio Summerville, Rodrigo, Liam Cooper, Jack Harrison, and Mateusz Klich, although the latter is close to signing for DC from MLS. United. Bamford is seen as the least likely of Leeds' injury doubters for Wednesday, when Norway's Kristoffer Claesson will make just his second Premier League appearance in goal if Meslier is not ready to return.

 

While Yorkshire-born Haaland will return home, Kalvin Phillips will not, as Guardiola bluntly admitted the former Leeds midfielder, who recently recovered from shoulder surgery, returned from the World Cup overweight and will not be considered for selection. Still. Portugal center-back Ruben Dias could also be sidelined for up to a month after picking up a hamstring injury in A Selecao's World Cup quarter-final defeat by Morocco, while Argentina's four-goal hero Julian Alvarez may not return until the New Year after his exploits in Qatar.

 

Other World Cup players such as Ederson, Kyle Walker, Joao Cancelo, and Bernardo Silva are expected to return to Manchester City's starting lineup, while Phil Foden and Jack Grealish will compete for left-back before lvarez returns to play his required minutes on a regular basis. Possible Leeds United starting lineup: 

Klaesson; Kristensen, Cooper, Koch, Struijk; Rock, Forshaw; Aaronson, Rodrigo, Harrison; gelhardt

Possible starting lineup for Manchester City: 

Ederson; Walker, Stones, Akanji, Cancelo; Gundogan, Rodri, De Bruyne, B.Silva, Haaland, Foden

 Let's say:- Leeds United 0-4 Manchester City 

While Marsch is confident most of his injury doubters will be able to play on Wednesday, facing a Manchester City squad full of renewed international supporters will surely only mean one result. Guardiola's side was in their usual relentless frame of mind against Liverpool and should have no problem scoring a few goals in addition to a leaky defense from Leeds, especially with the ever-fresh Haaland keen to make an impact on his former hometown
