The Citizens Seek to Bounce Back in Top Division, Women's National Team Set to Play
Pep Claims His Team of Being Timid in Defeat to Leverkusen
Pep Guardiola's side are aiming to respond positively when they welcome the Yorkshire club later today after losing consecutive defeats against Newcastle in the domestic league and Bayer Leverkusen in the Champions League.
Maybe I think higher of them than they think about themselves. It was a good lesson for me, even with my background in coaching this will inform my future approach.
Pep is likely to recall those he left out against the German team when facing Daniel Farke’s side.
Farke's Team Look to Find Form at City's Home Ground
The Yorkshire club hope to also find some form at the home of Manchester City with the manager's job in question. His side are 18th in the table of the English football, and after this match, a important stretch looms for the German who, only last spring, earned promotion from the Championship.
To be frank, the current situation is tough; we’re getting a lot of stick. But I don’t need to hide. I understood how fervent this club is from the beginning. When the going gets tough don’t become manager of Leeds United. I never expected this season to be an easy ride.
