Table-topping City play host to Leeds in a fine run of form with Saturday’s 1-0 win over Wolves our sixth successive Premier League win.

But asked about his thoughts and what he would expect from the Marcelo Bielsa’s side tomorrow, the boss was unequivocal in his response.
“The same. Before, we played against them, we knew it, we felt it. It is one of the toughest opponents,” the City boss stressed.
“They play every week in a special unique way, and we play against the special and unique way just two times a year. It is completely different to other opponents.
“They are going to play in a way we are not used to in these kinds of games.

“At the same time, it is at the Etihad, we know a lot of people will be there and we want to do a good game tomorrow.
“Patrick Bamford was injured for a long time now. Kalvin Phillips, too. A few important players.
“But if there is one person who doesn’t complain about what happens, it is Marcelo. He loves to work when the situation is tough. You have seen the stats and style.
“There is no game where they don’t create more chances than the opponent.
“We will have to adapt to try and do what we want to do.”
