Manchester City Look to Bounce Back in English Top Flight, Lionesses in Action
City's Manager States Manchester City of Showing Apprehension in Defeat to Leverkusen
The Sky Blues look to bounce back when they welcome Leeds later today after suffering two losses in a row against Newcastle United in the Premier League and Bayer Leverkusen in the UCL.
Maybe I think higher of them than they think about themselves. It was a good lesson for me, as experienced as I am as a manager this will inform my future approach.
The Manchester City manager is probably bringing back those he rested against the German team when facing Daniel Farke’s side.
Farke's Team Look to Find Form at Etihad Stadium
The Yorkshire club hope to also find some form at the Etihad Stadium with the manager's job in question. Leeds United are near the bottom of the Premier League, and after facing City, a pivotal week looms for the coach who, just months ago, earned promotion from the second tier.
Truthfully, the current situation is tough; there's plenty of negativity. Yet I'm not avoiding this. I understood how passionate this club is from the outset. If you can’t handle the heat don’t become manager of Leeds United. I didn't anticipate this term to be an straightforward journey.
