The Citizens Seek to Bounce Back in English Top Flight, Women's National Team in Action

Pep Claims City of Being Timid in Defeat to Leverkusen

Pep Guardiola's side are aiming to respond positively when they host Leeds United later today after suffering consecutive defeats against Newcastle United in the domestic league and Bayer Leverkusen in the UCL.

Perhaps my expectations exceed their self-belief. This served as a valuable lesson, despite my managerial experience this will inform my future approach.

Pep is probably bringing back those he gave a break to against the German team when facing Daniel Farke’s side.

The Whites Aim to Find Form at City's Home Ground

Daniel Farke's squad aim to turn things around at the Etihad Stadium with Daniel Farke’s position in question. Leeds United are near the bottom of the Premier League, and after this match, a crucial period awaits for the German who, just months ago, earned promotion from the Championship.

To be frank, it’s not very enjoyable at the moment; we face criticism. Yet I'm not avoiding this. I knew about how dedicated this team is from the beginning. If you can’t handle the heat steer clear of managing Leeds. It wasn't my assumption this season to be an simple task.
