Manchester City host Leeds United at the Etihad Stadium on Matchday seventeen of the Premier League. The hosts are at the top of the league standings with thirty-eight points from sixteen games while the visitors find themselves at a fifteenth place in the league with sixteen points from as many games. Manchester City come into the game with a 1-0 win over Wolves at home. Pep Guardiola’s men have only lost once in their last nine matches and bring in an impeccable home run of results. Manchester City are on a five-match winning streak at home. The hosts have looked shaky at times in the current season but have always managed to yield results due to the sheer quality of the roster.
Leeds United have been a shadow of the side which made a stunning comeback to the Premier League in the previous season. They have been conceding regular goals and not able to win enough games. They lost 3-2 to Chelsea in their last Premier League fixture and also have not won in their last three away matches. Despite Leeds having a great head to head record against Manchester City upon promotion to the Premier League, it is likely that a much stronger Manchester City side will prevail.
While Manchester City do not have a decent recent record against Leeds United, the overall run of form is tilted in favour of the hosts. Manchester City have rarely lost games and are expected to get another set of three points at the expense of Leeds United. We are backing Manchester City to lead at both half time and full time.
