Prediction: City Wins
Leeds United have done well in their recent matches, especially the draws with Aston Villa and Chelsea. The level of difficulty, however, goes a notch higher here. They got a taste of this in the game against Arsenal, and they lost 4-0.
This could be a similar script with City pushing for the title. The visitors have won each of their last five matches against Leeds, and they come into this game unbeaten in eight, with seven wins. Our prediction for Leeds United v Manchester City is that Manchester City wins.

Leeds are faced with a stern test as they seek improvement from three straight draws. In their latest outing, they played to a 1-1 result with Aston Villa, and earlier they had recorded a 2-2 draw with Chelsea. Those two draws were in away games, which will motivate the hosts to now go for the kill.
In the Premier League, Leeds have only lost once in six matches, though that run has just two wins. Leeds’ only defeats in their last nine home league games were inflicted by top three sides – Aston Villa and Arsenal. For the first time in four years, they host City at Elland Road, and Leeds will hope to avoid a heavy loss like the last time they hosted this clash.
Lukas Nmecha will be well charged for this game, facing his former employers. In the reverse fixture he scored, and he thought he’d won a point for his team. It wasn’t to be, but here he has the chance to add to his seven league goal involvements.
He has five G/A in his last five matches. Dominic Calvert-Lewin will be another player worth watching. The Englishman has 10 goals and an assist in the league, and he will command a starting berth here. The forward has, however, scored just once in the last six matches.

The reverse meeting at the Etihad wasn’t an easy one for Manchester City. They needed a stoppage-time goal to claim the points despite having led 2-0. Now the visitors will hope for a smoother time, as they look to slash Arsenal’s lead.
Going by their recent performances, City will be confident of getting the points on board. They are unbeaten in eight matches, with only one being a draw. In their last five matches, Pep Guardiola’s side posted straight wins. The latest of them was controversial, though, as a Newcastle United goal was disallowed in their 2-1 victory. City have beaten Leeds in each of their last five meetings.
Manchester City will unleash on Leeds their Norwegian beast, Erling Haaland, in attack. The forward has four goal contributions in the last five matches. Against Newcastle United, he managed an assist despite being tightly marked.
It says all about his team-player attributes, as he links up well with his mates. A beneficiary of such link-up play was academy star Nico O’Reilly, scorer of the two goals against Newcastle. The forward line could also benefit from the expected return of Jeremy Doku, who has been out with a calf injury.
Final Prediction:
Asian Handicap: City -0.5/1
European Handicap: City Wins
Predicted Scores: 0-2, 1-2, 1-3
Predicted Total Goals: 2, 3, 4
