Manchester City lineup vs. Leeds United

For Manchester City, Joao Cancelo suspended for accumulating yellow cards, so Kyle Walker is likely to return immediately after he came off the bench against Wolves over the weekend. Phil Foden and Kevin de Bruyne both came on from the bench in the last match, but could also feature in the starting line-up.

THAN: Sterling returns to his brightest form with Man City

De Bruyne’s return with a typical lineup can be seen Jack Grealish Drop down on the bench to rest before the busy holiday. Ilkay Gundogan could also be rested after Pep Guardiola confirmed he was struggling with back pain following the game against Wolves. Although Ferran Torres until the new year, this lineup is already loaded and has plenty of depth.

Manchester City’s expected starting lineup (4-3-3, left to right): Ederson-GK – Walker, Dias, Laporte, Zinchenko – De Bruyne, Rodri, Silva – Sterling, Jesus, Mahrez

Manchester City’s Expectations: Steffen-GK, Ake, Stones, Lewis, Gundogan, Fernandinho, Palmer, Foden, Grealish

Leeds is still missing Patrick Bamford and Kalvin Phillips due to hamstring problems, while Rodrigo still out with a heel problem, a sadistic three-headed monster injured.

Robin Koch missed the Chelsea game over the weekend due to illness, and his condition is still mounting with such a rapid change, while Pascal Struijk was injured in the game weekend. Mateusz Klich, who was guilty of conceding a late penalty against Chelsea over the weekend, is the only real backup for Bielsa to consider a rotation, otherwise no real change would be possible.

Leeds United’s expected entrants: Klaesson-GK, Cresswell, McCarron, Summerville, Klich, McKinstry, Jenkins, Gelhardt, Greenwood

Predictions and odds between Manchester City vs. Leeds

Odds by DraftKings

The last time Leeds met Manchester City at the Etihad in April, it was a game that reversed all trends. City took 29 shots and scored 2.4 xG (according to FBref), but only found the back of the net once. Meanwhile, Leeds took two shots in total, and scored both en route to a 2-1 defeat. It was the third win in a row for Leeds in an impressive end to the season.

THAN: Winners and losers in the Champions League re-draw ceremony

Don’t expect the same thing to happen here. With the top team in brilliant form and the away team at the Etihad Stadium dominating, the odds of winning and losing in this match are for a reason. Both goals in April’s stalemate came from Helder Costa, who currently plays for Valencia, and while Leeds play Chelsea on Saturday, it’s been a grueling endeavor. It would be a tall order to generate a similar effort.

Pick: Man City -1.5 (-210)

Guess: Manchester City 2, Leeds United 0
