The Citizens Aim to Bounce Back in Top Division, Lionesses Set to Play

The Sky Blues are aiming to respond positively when they welcome Leeds United later today after enduring two losses in a row against Newcastle in the Premier League and Bayer Leverkusen in the European competition.

Maybe I think higher of them than they think about themselves. I learned something important, as experienced as I am as a manager it was a good lesson for me for the future.

Guardiola is likely to recall those he left out against the Bundesliga side when facing the visiting team.

The Yorkshire club hope to also find some form at the City's ground with the manager's job in slight jeopardy. The team are 18th in the table of the Premier League, and after this match, a pivotal week looms for the German who, recently, won promotion from the Championship.

I’ll be honest, it’s not very enjoyable at the moment; there's plenty of negativity. But I don’t need to hide. I was aware of how dedicated this team is from the first day. If you can’t handle the heat avoid this job. I never expected this campaign to be an straightforward journey.
