Pep's Squad Aim to Regain Form in English Top Flight, Lionesses Set to Play

City's Manager Accuses Manchester City of Playing with Fear in Defeat to Leverkusen

The Sky Blues look to regroup when they face Leeds later today after losing two losses in a row against Newcastle United in the domestic league and Bayer Leverkusen in the European competition.

It's possible I rate them more highly than they do themselves. I learned something important, as experienced as I am as a manager I'll carry this insight forward.

Pep is expected to reinstate those he left out against the Leverkusen when facing Leeds United.

The Whites Look to Improve Performance at Etihad Stadium

Daniel Farke's squad hope to also find some form at the home of Manchester City with the manager's job in some doubt. His side are 18th in the table of the English football, and after Manchester City, a important stretch awaits for the German who, only last spring, won promotion from the Championship.

I’ll be honest, the current situation is tough; there's plenty of negativity. Yet I'm not avoiding this. I was aware of how fervent this club is from the first day. If you can’t handle the heat don’t become manager of Leeds United. It wasn't my assumption this campaign to be an straightforward journey.
