Manchester City Seek to Bounce Back in Premier League, Lionesses Set to Play

The Sky Blues look to respond positively when they face Leeds later today after losing back-to-back matches against Newcastle in the Premier League and Leverkusen in the Champions League.

It's possible I rate them more highly than they do themselves. This served as a valuable lesson, as experienced as I am as a manager it was a good lesson for me for the future.

Pep is probably bringing back those he rested against the Bundesliga side when facing Leeds United.

Leeds hope to also find some form at the City's ground with the manager's job in question. His side are 18th in the table of the English football, and after facing City, a pivotal week looms for the manager who, only last spring, celebrated promotion from the second tier.

To be frank, things aren't fun right now; we face criticism. But I don’t need to hide. I was aware of how fervent this club is from the outset. If you're not up for the pressure don’t become manager of Leeds United. I didn't anticipate this campaign to be an easy ride.
