Manchester City will be hoping to put the pressure on Arsenal as they face Leeds United in the Premier League.

Pep Guardiola’s side begin the round of fixtures five points behind their title rivals with a game in hand, and will close to within two with victory here with the league leaders not in action until Sunday.

The pursuit of four trophies remains on track for a Manchester City team that strengthened significantly in January, though Leeds have also been in good form of late.

A valuable point at Aston Villa last weekend was another step in the right direction as Daniel Farke and his squad look to navigate out of relegation danger.

Here’s everything you need to know.

Team news

Gabriel Gudmundsson is fit to start for Leeds after being taken off early against Aston Villa due to illness and Daniel Farke hasn’t made any changes to his starting XI.

Erling Haaland was a shock omission from the City lineup, after suffering an injury in training ahead of the game, although reports suggest it is only minor and he should be fit for the midweek clash with Nottingham Forest. Rayan Cherki coming in for Haaland is the only change.

Leeds XI: Darlow; Bogle, Justin, Rodon, Struijk, Gudmundsson; Ampadu, Gruev, Stach; Aaronson, Calvert-Lewin.
