How the teams line up
Confirmed line-ups arrive about an hour before kick-off.
Home
Leeds United
Leeds are tough to score against in front of their own fans at Elland Road, though they don't create a great deal themselves.
Away
Manchester City
One of the league's best sides. Man City should have most of the ball on the road at Elland Road, so the question is whether Leeds can stay compact for 90 minutes.
Match preview
Manchester City visit Elland Road to face Leeds United in the 2026/27 Premier League. We project 1.01 expected goals for Leeds against 1.80 for Man City, and that gap drives our 56% rating for Man City. Line-ups arrive about an hour before kick-off. A missing key player can change this more than any other factor, so wait for them.
