The Citizens Aim to Return to Winning Ways in Premier League, Women's National Team Taking the Field

Pep States His Team of Playing with Fear in Defeat to Leverkusen

Manchester City are aiming to bounce back when they welcome Leeds later today after losing back-to-back matches against Newcastle in the English top flight and the German side in the Champions League.

It's possible I rate them more highly than they do themselves. This served as a valuable lesson, despite my managerial experience I'll carry this insight forward.

Pep is likely to recall those he rested against the German team when facing the visiting team.

Leeds Look to Improve Performance at Etihad Stadium

I’ll be honest, it’s not very enjoyable at the moment; we’re getting a lot of stick. Yet I'm not avoiding this. I knew about 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 season to be an simple task.
