Form Guide
City have just taken down a revitalised Liverpool side in EFL Cup, and will be locked in as their chase down of league leaders Arsenal begins in earnest.
A rested and fresh Erling Haaland is also expected to wreak havoc on the Leeds defence.
Leeds, while they have not been awful this season, will not strike fear into any of the top teams.
They have been unlucky in some tight games in recent weeks, but are not expected to come away with any points next week.
It will be a shock if Erling Haaland doesn't add to his already huge Premier League tally.
What The Managers Are Saying
"Right now, it is Man City we are focused on," said Leeds manager Jesse Marsch. "I would have hoped their players would have gone deeper in the World Cup, but it is so competitive.
"They have a great squad and the best manager in the world.
"We are not afraid of the biggest opponents. We've proven we can compete and get points, but we need a good plan and execution to do that and we know that."
“Step by step people come back. We are happy they are back, in general they played really well,” said Man City manager Pep Guardiola about his returning stars.
“I have a feeling that the players in the World Cup are in a better condition than the players who were here. Sergio, Erling, Riyad, Cole, they missed a little bit.”
