Preview Manchester City vs Leeds United, Getting Closer to the Champion

Manchester City will host Leeds United at the Etihad Stadium in the Premier League 2022/2023 continued match, Saturday (6/5/2023). Three points will bring City closer to the title this season.

While City are ambitious to earn full points to get closer to the title, Leeds, who have just appointed Sam Allardyce as manager, need points to keep their hopes of surviving in the Premier League next season.

Currently Leeds is on the threshold of the safe zone, position 17 in the standings with 30 points, the same as Nottingham Forest in position 18 and Leicester City in position 16. If you lose badly to the defending champions, Leeds may enter the red zone.

Sunday’s 4-1 defeat extended Leeds’ winless run to five. Big Sam, nicknamed Allardyce, is known for his record of keeping a defensive team in the Premiere League. PR is not easy, considering the fragility of the Leeds defense, which has conceded 67 times in 34 matches of the season.

In contrast to the hosts, who have won their last nine Premier League matches, Leeds have suffered defeat in 12 of their 17 away matches.

In the match against Leeds, Pep Guardiola is expected to be able to play Kevin De Bruyne, who has missed the last two matches. Practically, the Citizen can field his best squad.

Manchester City striker Erling Haaland.

Including bomber phenomenon from Norway, Erling Haaland, who scored his 35th Premier League goal in beating West Ham 3-0 in mid-week. The goal also saw Haaland break the record for most goals scored in a single Premier League season, which he did brilliantly in his debut season in England.

The win over the Hammers was also the 11th time in their last 13 home games that City have scored three or more goals. Bad news, of course, for the Leeds United squad.

Big Sam certainly hopes to repeat the magic of Leeds United, which won 2-1 at the Etihad in the 2021/2022 season. Allardyce may be able to learn from West Ham’s performance at the Etihad, which at least managed to frustrate City in a goalless first half.

However, they should not concede three goals in the second half like West Ham, which could plunge them into the red zone. City will be back to dominating possession, and waiting for their opponents to make mistakes and punish Leeds’ fragile back line.

Predicted lineups
Manchester City (4-2-3-1): Ederson; Walker, Stones, Dias, Ake; Rodri, Gundogan; Foden, De Bruyne, Grealish; Haaland
