Manchester City will look to move back within two points of leaders Arsenal when they visit Leeds United.
Pep Guardiola’s players were made to work extremely hard for their 2-1 win at home to Newcastle United last Saturday, which briefly cut the gap at the top of the table.
Arsenal quickly extended it back to five – having played a game more – with an emphatic 4-1 victory in the North London derby at Tottenham.
A trip to Elland Road is no easy assignment, with Leeds losing once at home since November.
