With a victory over Leeds, the Cityzens hope to close the gap at the top of the standings.
Both Leeds United and Manchester City suffered heartbreaking defeats to Brentford and Tottenham Hotspur in their final games before the World Cup. The defeat meant that City was forced to drop a spot in the standings. Leeds moved one step closer to the relegation zone as a result.
Erling Haaland, who appears to be breaking scoring records every week and is on track to break a few more, has helped Manchester City dominate this season. Despite having a game in hand, they are still 8 points behind league leaders Arsenal.
It might not be as simple as it looks on paper to defeat Leeds United. Leeds have been giant killers this year despite their standing on the standings.
They easily defeated Chelsea at home earlier in the season, and in October, they beat Liverpool at Anfield with seconds left. They could put their season back on track with a victory over Manchester City.
