Manchester City Aim to Bounce Back in Premier League, England Women Set to Play

Pep Guardiola's side are aiming to respond positively when they host Leeds later today after enduring back-to-back matches against the Magpies in the English top flight and the German side in the UCL.

Perhaps my expectations exceed their self-belief. This served as a valuable lesson, as experienced as I am as a manager this will inform my future approach.

Guardiola is probably bringing back those he rested against the Leverkusen when facing Leeds United.

Daniel Farke's squad hope to also find some form at the Etihad Stadium with the manager's job in some doubt. Leeds United are near the bottom of the English football, and after Manchester City, a crucial period approaches for the coach who, just months ago, won promotion from the Championship.

To be frank, things aren't fun right now; there's plenty of negativity. But I don’t need to hide. I understood how passionate this club is from the outset. When the going gets tough avoid this job. I never expected this campaign to be an simple task.
