Manchester City vs Leeds United Preview: Odds, Tips and Prediction

Manchester City had been looking much more like their old selves before the November international break, racking up four wins in a row, which culminated in a dominant 3-0 win at home to Liverpool.
However, the Citizens’ good run was brought to an abrupt end with a 2-1 defeat at Newcastle United last Saturday. At the time of writing, City are set to play Bayer Leverkusen at home in the UEFA Champions League on Tuesday, ahead of the Leeds game. 

What is encouraging for the home team, though, is that since losing their opening home league game to Tottenham, they have won five home league games in a row. 

Leeds have slipped into the bottom three of the Premier League, with last Sunday’s defeat at home to Aston Villa making it five losses in six games. The only outlier was a 2-1 win at home to West Ham in October, who were badly out of form themselves at the time. 

There is little encouragement to be taken from Leeds’ away form, too. Their only points gathered on the road came in a 3-1 win at Wolves, who are bottom of the table, in September. 
The Whites are also leaking goals, with eight conceded in the last three, and they have not kept a clean sheet in nine games.
