Pep Guardiola says that we have to win 4 matches to be sure of the title and new comers Leeds United are one of those clubs that can beat any team on their day.
Pep Guardiola has a great respect for the Leeds United Coach Marcelo Bielsa and his style of football which has ensured that Leeds will retain their Premier League status for next season having already reached the bench mark that most of look for to ensure safety and Leeds United have done well to reach that goal with a number of games still to be played.
In the head to head City are only slightly ahead with 40 wins to 37 with 18 draws in the 95 League matches we have played each other and so it could be another tight encounter Leeds having the week off whilst City were engaged in a tough match against Dortmund.
Midfield duo Michael Brown and Kevin Horlock will be special guests for our We’re Not Really Here live show and will join presenter Natalie Pike in the studio.

I am really worried re this selection too many players have not played for some time.

2013 - Manchester City are set to host Leeds for a match for the first time since February 2013, a 4-0 win in the FA Cup. In the Premier League, the sides have only met at the Etihad once, a 1-1 draw in December 2003. Recommence. #MCILEE
