THE PREDICTION
Man City come into this match off the back of their 2-1 victory over Borussia Dortmund in the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final. With only four days between this match and the second leg, Pep Guardiola is likely to make a number of changes to his side for the visit of Leeds Utd. Six successive victories in all competitions and a 14-point-lead at the top of the Premier League makes them an unenviable opponent no matter what starting line-up Guardiola fields, although Leeds will provide a stern test under Bielsa, especially when considering that the Whites held City to a 1-1 draw in the reverse fixture at Elland Road. These two teams are naturally attacking units and goals are expected in this game on both sides, especially when taking into account any rotation of the Man City defence, which may disrupt the stability of their backline against a fast and furious Leeds who themselves have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last seven Premier League away matches. Therefore, both teams to score and over 2.5 goals in 90 minutes should each be favoured here.
