Manchester City Aim to Bounce Back in English Top Flight, Women's National Team Taking the Field
City's Manager Accuses City of Being Timid in Leverkusen Loss
Pep Guardiola's side are aiming to regroup when they host Leeds later today after enduring back-to-back matches against Newcastle in the English top flight and the German side in the UCL.
Perhaps my expectations exceed their self-belief. I learned something important, as experienced as I am as a manager it was a good lesson for me for the future.
Guardiola is likely to recall those he rested against the German team when facing the visiting team.
The Whites Look to Find Form at City's Home Ground
Leeds hope to also find some form at the Etihad Stadium with Farke's role in some doubt. His side are in the relegation zone of the Premier League, and after Manchester City, a crucial period looms for the German who, only last spring, celebrated promotion from the second tier.
Truthfully, things aren't fun right now; there's plenty of negativity. Yet I'm not avoiding this. I was aware of how fervent this club is from the outset. If you can’t handle the heat steer clear of managing Leeds. It wasn't my assumption this season to be an easy ride.
