Our Prediction
City comes from an intense Champions League clash against Dortmund. Furthermore, the title race seems already decided in their favour. Hence, they may rest some of their key players. On the other hand, Leeds is expected to show up their best possible line-up.
It is going to be the chance for some of the players who are not in the first plan of Pep. Therefore, they will be highly motivated to show they are a reliable alternative for more important matches. Leeds has won their two recent games and are in good form. However, the relegation, as well as the international spots both seem out of reach. We expect a clear win for Manchester City.
