Leeds meet Manchester City in a late match of Saturday's program of the 35th round of the Premier League. The Whites have stabilized their performance since the appointment of Jesse Marsh, but due to the difficult program until the end of the season they still can not rest assured about their place in the elite. Leeds left Selhurst Park undefeated on Monday night after a draw with Crystal Palace, despite the superiority of Patrick Vieira's players. This was the fifth consecutive game in which the Whites did not lose and the second in a row without conceding a goal.
Manchester City holds the first place in their hands and continues to be very convincing in their performance. In the last round, the "Citizens" did not allow a surprise and defeated Watford with 5:1, strengthening it back to the Championship. Burnley are already nine points behind the Hornets and a miracle would leave him in the Premier League next season. Manchester City still have only victories against the teams from the bottom and a new success on Saturday will only increase the series.
During the week, the "Citizens" were involved in a real spectacle of the semifinals of the Champions League. Manchester City took a one-goal lead against Real Madrid before the rematch, beating it 4:3. The Blues took the lead several times, but the White Ballet did not bow its head and found its way to the door of Pep Guardiola's players. The fight for first place in the Premier League is such that neither Man City nor Liverpool will have the luxury of ignoring their matches over the weekend at the expense of the semifinals of the Champions League.
The first match against Leeds ended with a clear victory of the "Blues" with 7:0 at the "Etihad". Now the mood of the hosts is very different, but I do not see how they will avoid the loss. Leeds stabilized their performance in defense at the expense of more passive play in front positions, but against one of the strongest teams on the continent it would be difficult to keep a dry net. Man City have not conceded a goal in their previous four Premier League visits and I expect them to do so again.
