Pep's Squad Aim to Return to Winning Ways in Top Division, Women's National Team in Action

City's Manager Claims Manchester City of Playing with Fear in Defeat to Leverkusen

The Sky Blues will hope to regroup when they face the Yorkshire club later today after enduring two losses in a row against Newcastle United in the English top flight and Leverkusen in the Champions League.

Perhaps my expectations exceed their self-belief. It was a good lesson for me, as experienced as I am as a manager this will inform my future approach.

Pep is expected to reinstate those he left out against the Bundesliga side when facing Daniel Farke’s side.

Leeds Aim to Find Form at City's Home Ground

The Yorkshire club hope to also find some form at the City's ground with the manager's job in slight jeopardy. The team are 18th in the table of the Premier League, and after Manchester City, a pivotal week awaits for the German who, only last spring, won promotion from the EFL Championship.

I’ll be honest, things aren't fun right now; we’re getting a lot of stick. However, I won't shy away. I was aware of how fervent this team is from the first day. If you're not up for the pressure don’t become manager of Leeds United. I didn't anticipate this season to be an easy ride.
