This would be a fierce battle at a feverish and hostile Elland Road.
City edged the first meeting against Leeds United with a late Phil Foden winner.
Needing victory to pile pressure on leaders Arsenal, this was always going to be a tough fixture.
The Blues had to weather a fierce early storm from the hosts who went close to opening the scoring several times in the first half-hour.
But with a stellar rearguard action, City started to gain control of proceedings, and finally broke through in first-half added time as Antoine Semenyo slid home Rayan Ait-Nouri’s cross.
It proved to be the only goal of an absorbing contest that keeps the Blues hot on the heels of leaders Arsenal.
