Manchester City

Man City are among the strongest teams in the league and should control the ball in front of their own fans at Etihad Stadium, leaving Leeds to defend for long spells.

Away

Leeds United

A solid mid-table side. Leeds are hard to break down on the road at Etihad Stadium, but chances can be scarce at the other end too.
