Leeds United vs Man City

Premier League. Leeds United 0. Manchester City 4 (Rodri 13', Ake 54', Jesus 78', Fernandinho 90'). Leeds: Meslier (GK), Ayling (C), Firpo (Gelhardt 62'), ...

It was second-half substitute Fernandinho who fired home a low effort on the edge of the box. A deep corner saw Dias head the ball back into the middle of the goal where Nathan Ake was well-positioned to stab home and double the advantage for the visitors. Foden had caused problems all afternoon and was the architect again, sliding the ball in for Gabriel Jesus to finish beyond Illan Meslier. There had also been quite a few stoppages in the first half for both sides to contend with. A slip in the City defence from Ruben Dias allowed Rodrigo to race through on goal, but his effort from a narrowing angle was well blocked. Frustratingly for Leeds, City scored with their first real attempt of the match.

It was a tale of two set-pieces at Elland Road as Manchester City kept themselves top of the Premier League with three precious points with a 4-0 win over ...

Like Sterling and Jesus, he squandered a fantastic chance to make it 2-0. Fouled regularly and once or twice the referee even blew for it. However, there was no mistake when he made it 3-0 late on- that was a very nice strike. Embarrassing defenders with his trickery is now a weekly hobby for Foden. Used his physicality wonderfully to head it down for Ake and create the second goal. Wasted a late chance, not that it matters too much, and then got a great late block in.

Bizarrely, some decided to target Raphinha as he took a corner too, much to the Brazilian’s understandable bemusement. Both players received treatment for over two minutes and Laporte lay stationary on the pitch for the duration of that time as he was examined by Manchester City’s medical team. The pressure on both sides was ramped up due to results elsewhere earlier in the day.

Manchester City have moved straight back to the top of the Premier League standings courtesy of a 4-0 victory over Leeds United.

He could have done with a little help, mind, when sending in a delivish cross from the lef-hand side. He did get a shot away but, as with the follow up from Grealish, it was no real threat to Leeds. City still need to be on alert, but the scoreline is much more under control now. City are belatedly working to slow the game too, and that Jesus goal will wrap up the result. For the majority of the game, we were quite good and we were unlucky not to have a smaller gap in the scoreline. It is a long season and this is the last effort. Changes for Leeds - some enforced - mean they are going to end this game with Harrison and Raphinha as wing-backs. No armband for the well-loved Brazilian midfielder as he came on to the pitch, but he has managed to grab himself a rare, rare goal during that cameo. They are two goals to the good, but have not been at their breath-taking or manipulative best. But in the end we had control and could have scored more. We knew coming here the way they play, we suffered a lot in the first half. Before the match we wanted a good performance and that's what we had.

The victory sees City reclaim a one-point lead at the top of the Premier League table, after slipping down to second place when Liverpool beat Newcastle 1-0 ...

Leeds came out firing in the second half, but it was City who scored first, Ake turning it in from another set piece on 54 minutes. City recovered well and had a string of chances in front of the home side's goal before they eventually took the lead on 13 minutes when Rodri glanced the ball past Leeds goalkeeper Illan Meslier from a curling Phil Foden free kick. Leeds put up a good challenge to the Premier League champions, but struggled to keep a hold on the ball in key areas.

Leeds United showed lots of fight, but not enough end product in their 4-0 loss to Manchester City. The visitors kept their composure better in a high-tempo ...

Jack Grealish could be in the midfield three, alongside Rodri and Gundogan, or it could be a 4-2-3-1. They've had a few corners, but Meslier hasn't had too much to do in the first ten minutes. Meslier still hasn't had too much to do, but he's had to pick the ball out of the back of his net. 48th min: The ball is moved out to Grealish on the left. Second half: It looks like Raphinha will be playing on the right for Leeds. He's holding a fairly deep position, and City will be glad to see him away from their goal. 89th min: The Leeds fans are still in good voice, and they can be proud of what they've seen today from their team. He cut the ball back, and Klich slides to meet it next to the penalty area. To their credit, Leeds continued to press and harry, and they didn't seem to lose hope, but they still offered too little in the final third. 92nd min: Klich makes a run down the right, and the ball is lofted into his path. Guardiola's side notch up a comprehensive win to respond to Liverpool's victory earlier on, and they boost their goal difference in the process. Leeds continued their approach for the rest of the first half and, in truth, City found them very hard to deal with. Leeds were aggressive, both on and off the ball, and regularly looked to disrupt City's rhythm when out of possession.

Manchester City travel to Leeds United on Saturday in the Premier League, so we simulated the game for a pre-match score prediction.

Two late substitutions saw Guardiola introduce Raheem Sterling and Bernardo Silva in an attempt to try and turn the game on its head. Kalvin Phillips found Rodrigo just inside the box with his back to goal, and the Spaniard did well to hold off Joao Cancelo and turn towards goal. As the game went on, confidence grew within the Leeds camp, and the home side took a shock lead with 10 minutes remaining. The well organised Leeds defence limited City to long-range efforts, and when a pocket of space opened up outside the area, De Bruyne took aim. We used FIFA 22 to get a score prediction for Leeds against Man City on Saturday and this is what happened. After their 5-1 win over Watford last week, City remain on top of the Premier League by a single point, with Gabriel Jesus putting in his best performance of the season as he grabbed four goals.
