Manchester City vs. Leeds United: Preview, Team News, Where to Watch, Probable X1, Match Prediction

Manchester City vs. Leeds United

Manchester City, the defending champions, are presently first in the points table, one point ahead of Arsenal, who are also competing for the title. In a situation where both teams played 34 games, City will want to extend its lead since they presently have one less game played. A lead of four points with only four matches left to be played will strengthen their chances of winning the league trophy.

At 7:30 p.m. IST, Manchester City will play against Leeds United at The Etihad in a Premier League match. Star Sports will broadcast the game live, and Disney+Hotstar will stream it live.

Manchester City are currently roaring hush as they have won nine consecutive Premier League matches and require 12 points from their last five fixtures to win their third title in a row.

They defeated West Ham magnificently, setting multiple records in the process.The record for the most goals scored in a single season is now held by Erling Haaland. In 45 games, he has currently scored 51 goals. Kevin de Bruyne, on the other hand, has missed the last two games and had a fitness test for today’s game, although there is still doubt over his participation. The city can’t afford to have its finest midfielder sit on the sidelines for the Champions League semifinal match against Real Madrid; therefore, his restoration will be important.

On the contrary, Leeds United, who are now in the 17th spot in the standings, are at risk of being relegated. They have only won seven games so far this year, and this past weekend they were defeated 4-1 by Bournemouth. Sam Allardyce is in charge of coaching now that their manager is gone. Given that they have given up 23 goals in their last seven games, they will undoubtedly have to put in a lot of effort to keep the Blues quiet.

Probable X1 (Manchester City): Ederson; Ake; Dias; Walker; Stones; Rodri; Mahrez; Grealish; Gundogan; Alvarez; Haaland.

Probable X1 (Leeds United): Meslier; Koch; Ayling; Firpo; Wober; Harrison; Summerville; McKennie; Roca; Gnonto; Bamford.

Match Prediction: Manchester City, who are in amazing form, will undoubtedly win this game and pick up three points. As opposed to Lee, who is currently outplayed by everyone. Therefore, I believe that City will comfortably get past them by a goal difference of at least three. So, based on how I envision Alvarez scoring today, I’ll forecast 3-0.
