Man City makes the short trip to face Leeds United in the Premier League today. With Erling Haaland returning to the city he was born in, he'll hope to leave with even greater memories than before (he scored a brace against Leeds back in 2022).
Pep Guardiola will view this game as an absolute must-win. Chasing Arsenal's tail, the Citizens mustn't put a foot wrong. With Daniel Farke standing in the way, nothing is a given. Nevertheless, this is bound to be a great evening watch.
Here's how Man City should set up to maximise their chances of success against Leeds.
Predicted Man City lineup to face Leeds United
GK - Gianluigi Donnarumma. The first name on the team sheet is the easiest name on the team sheet. Donnarumma will be Man City's answer to Dominic Calvert-Lewin.
RB - Matheus Nunes. Another 'duh'. With 24 Premier League appearances already this season, the Portuguese international will add his quarter-century for the campaign this weekend.
CB - Marc Guehi. Man City's January signing has ended up being one of the most important signings of the season so far. It took him no time at all to hit the ground running, and he's more than able to keep up with the busy Premier League demands.
CB - Ruben Dias. While Bernardo is the captian, nobody overlooks the responsibility that Ruben Dias has in Man City's backline. With five clean sheets across his last ten appearances (all comps), Ruben Dias just has that presence Man City needs at the back.
RB - Rayan Ait-Nouri. Having seen his role increase in recent weeks, Ait-Nouri has been in impressive form. He won't drop out this week.
CM - Rodri. Rodri was rested in Man City's recent FA Cup match against Salford City, which was a real statement of intent from Pep. Rodri has chased down Arsenal many times before, and he'll be an important figure in the final third of this season.
CM - Nico O'Reilly. Nico O'Reilly has been one of the standout midfielders in the Premier League this season, and his hot run of appearances won't end anytime soon.
CM - Bernardo Silva. Man City's captain and their go-to guy when the fixtures come in thick and fast.
RW - Phil Foden. Scored a stoppage-time winner to gift Man City all three points the last time these two teams met.
CF - Erling Haaland. Who else but Erling when it comes to playing in Leeds?
LW - Antoine Semenyo. Completing the perfect front three will be Antoine Semenyo, who has raised the bar for Man City since he joined.
