Leeds v Manchester City: Premier League – Live! | Football

14 min: But this is better from Leeds, as Ayling whips deep at Alioski, who heads hard over the bar. I should have been right. You will think you should have scored.

13 min: The Leeds need to wake up quickly. Torres romps to the right and enters the area. Another chance; another block. It is only a matter of time before City scores the first goal.

12 min: From the corner, Dias receives a free header from six yards. He should score, but he heads to the left. Leeds clears upfield, where Bamford swings an arm in Laporte’s face. It’s reserved for that one.

11 min: De Bruyne has an absurd amount of time driving through the middle. He finally fires, but he probably took an extra step or two, allowing Koch to pull out a boot and swerve to the right to take a corner.

10 minutes: Sterling cuts from the left and looks to the far corner. Your shot is blocked at the source. City have enjoyed 72 percent possession in this initial phase.

8 min: Leeds is chasing shadows right now. On the sideline, Bielsa yells at her troops with great emotion.

6 min: This is an extremely confident start on the part of City, who will be on mind to make a statement after last week’s shenanigans.

5 minutes: Two corners follow. From the start, Dias claimed a penalty when his header hit Cooper at point-blank range … but the referee called it right, the ball bounced off the head of the Leeds defender. Leeds clears the second.

3 min: Leeds has barely had a touch. Sterling is down on the left. De Bruyne curls in free ki … no, he doesn’t! Opt to go to the top left, with everyone, especially Meslier in the Leeds goal, waiting for the swinger at the far post. The ball bounces off the post and Leeds is able to cut a corner. Shadows of Gary McAllister’s last gasp winner for Liverpool at Goodison Park in 2001 … except one walked in, of course. But it was an equally brilliant quick thought. Inches to the right and he was on the unprotected left side of the net.

2 minutes: Rodri takes. Cooper clarifies. The City returns to take possession. De Bruyne slides a pass down the left channel for Sterling, who flicks inside and sends a curling iron, aimed at the upper right corner, high above the bar.

1 minute: City are on the front foot reasonably fast. Mendy enters from the left. Foden and De Bruyne combine to strike first at Walker, whose weak shot is deflected into a corner on the right.

The city gets the ball rolling … But only after everyone kneels There is no place for racism.

The teams are out! Leeds sport their world-famous white Revie, while City sport an attractive second black stripe. Is absolutely hoses on Elland Road, shadows of San Mamés in 2011, when Athletic Bilbao de Bielsa and Barcelona de Guardiola shared the spoils in a four-goal thriller. More, please! We’ll be out in a minute.

Bielsa considers the style of her so-called former student. “I do not see in Pep’s style of play any idea that he has taken from my style of play … It is not a good time to face them. When faced with adversity, they are stronger. “

Pep welcomes Ruben Dias. “Start as soon as possible. He will adapt. Eric [Garcia] has some hamstring complaints and John [Stones] he was away for ten days, so we had no options. I think he has a good personality, good header, good preparation, intelligent in movements. Don’t forget that he is 23 years old and has time to improve ”.

Marcelo Bielsa and Pep Guardiola meet again this afternoon, 14 years after the City manager made a pilgrimage to Argentina in search of knowledge. Jonathan Liew tells the story of one of soccer’s great enduring bromances.

Leeds United makes just one change from the team that won at Bramall Lane last weekend. Mandatory: Jack Harrison is on loan from City and ineligible against his parent club, so Ezgjan Alioski takes his place.

Manchester City release their new great defensive hope Ruben Dias. It is one of the three changes to the team thrashed by Leicester last Sunday. Aymeric Laporte and Ferran Torres are also there; Nathan Ake, Fernandinho and Eric García lead the way.

Leeds United: Meslier, Ayling, Koch, Cooper, Phillips, Helder Costa, Klich, Dallas, Alioski, Bamford, Roberts.
Subs: Poveda-Ocampo, Llorente, Rodrigo, Struijk, Davis, Caprile, Shackleton.

Manchester City: Ederson, Walker, Dias, Laporte, Mendy, Rodri, Mahrez, De Bruyne, Foden, Torres, Sterling.
Subs: Stones, Ake, Steffen, Bernardo Silva, Fernandinho, Delap, Palmer.

Referee: Mike Dean (Wirral).

Last season Manchester City bounced back from the first defeat of their campaign in spectacular style, following a surprising 3-2 loss at Norwich by beating Watford 8-0. Leeds United, fully aware that City had the back seat of their pants neatly handed over by Leicester City last weekend, can have a long, strong and strong drink. Nobody likes to face a wounded lion.

On the other hand, Leeds is not Watford. The three-time champions of England, back in the big moment after a ridiculously long hiatus, have immediately made their presence felt in the first division again. An unfortunate 4-3 last-gasp loss to champions Liverpool was followed by an upsetting 4-3 win over Fulham and a resounding victory over local rivals Sheffield United. They have won 14 of their last 17 league games and, with Marcelo Bielsa, they are unlikely to trade their enthusiastic approach for anyone.

So this promises a lot. City can’t be as bad on defense as it was against Leicester, to be sure, especially as they can name a stylish new center-back pair of Aymeric Laporte and Ruben Dias. And it’s not often that Kevin De Bruyne gets two days off in a row. But that won’t stop Leeds from liking their chances too: Patrick Bamford has three out of three, while United’s total of eight goals equals the new Premier League boys’ record after three matches, a total set by Bolton in 2001.

The city is still the favorite to win, despite last weekend’s horror show. It wouldn’t be a total surprise if they posted another bounce statement score. It also wouldn’t be a surprise if Leeds took their first big scalp after the comeback. Perfectly configured, then. Its on!

Kick off: 5.30 pm BST.
