Leeds United hosts Manchester City in round 4 of the English Premier League. The match will be played on Saturday, October 3rd at Elland Road (Leeds)
Bielsa’s team is showing a spectacular game after returning to the Premier League. Leeds scored seven goals and conceded the same number in the first two rounds. After losing to Liverpool on the road (3-4), the team of the Argentine coach managed to beat Fulham with the same score at home. A 1-0 away victory over Sheffield has somewhat leveled the situation, but Sheffield plays closed football, while Leeds starts to have problems at high speeds. Berardi, Forshaw, and Fernandez are injured, and they will not play in the upcoming match.

Manchester City is experiencing problems in the lineup, especially in the attacking line (Kun Aguero and Gabi Jesus are injured), but Guardiola has sufficient depth of composition, so Ferran Torres and Sterling should perfectly replace the South Americans, which was shown by the match with Burnley in the League Cup (3-0). After a 5-2 defeat to Leicester, Benfica's defender Ruben Dias was urgently bought, and he can make his debut in the match with the Peacocks. There is no doubt that the visitors will dominate, and Leeds' unreliable defense will eventually fail. Silva, Stones, and João Cancelo will not play either.
The last time the teams crossed their paths was in 2013 in the FA Cup, and then Man City did not leave its opponents a single chance and hammered Leeds at home (4-0). It seems that even now the balance of power in the confrontation has not changed. Despite the losses in the roster, Guardiola’s men will dominate due to the higher skills of players. The defense of the Peacocks is very unreliable, and it is only a matter of time when the visitors will gain an advantage in the match. And they will keep it until the final whistle because the class difference between the teams is obvious.
Prediction for the match: Manchester City to win
