Manchester City vs Leeds United Match Preview Premier League 2025-26 Gameweek 13 Match
Pep Guardiola’s 100th Champions League game as Man City boss ended in frustration, with a rotated side losing 2-0 to Bayer Leverkusen — their first home group-stage defeat in over seven years. After admitting he rotated “too much,” Guardiola now seeks a reaction following back-to-back losses, including a 2-1 league defeat to Newcastle that dropped City to third, seven points behind Arsenal.
City head into Saturday’s clash with Leeds having won their last four Premier League meetings, scoring 16 goals in the process, including a 7-0 win in 2021. They’re also chasing a sixth straight home league win by 2+ goals and boast 23 wins from their last 25 games against promoted sides.
Leeds arrive in poor form, losing five of their last six league matches and the last three in a row. Despite scoring early in recent games, they have only 11 goals all season and continue to struggle defensively, conceding in nine straight matches. Pressure is growing on Daniel Farke as Leeds slip into the relegation zone.
The Whites have lost their last two league visits to the Etihad, though Farke does have a past win over City with Norwich in 2019.

Manchester City Team News
City can’t attribute their recent dip to injuries, as they currently have just two players sidelined — both midfielders. Ballon d’Or winner Rodri remains out with a muscle issue, while Mateo Kovačić continues to recover from an ankle injury suffered in late October.
Guardiola heavily rotated for the Leverkusen defeat, resting key names like Gianluigi Donnarumma, Rúben Dias, Phil Foden, Jérémy Doku and Erling Haaland. All are expected to return to the starting lineup on Saturday.
Manchester City Predicted Lineup
Donnarumma; Nunes, Dias, Gvardiol, O’Reilly; Bernardo, Gonzalez; Cherki, Foden, Doku; Haaland
Leeds United Team News
Leeds have two main injury doubts for the Etihad trip, with Anton Stach recovering from a head knock and Sebastiaan Bornauw still out since mid-October.
Ao Tanaka should step in alongside Ethan Ampadu, with Sean Longstaff added for extra midfield protection.
In-form Lukas Nmecha, who has scored in his last two games, is expected to spearhead the attack against his former club.
Leeds United Predicted Lineup
Perri; Bogle, Rodon, Struijk, Gudmundsson; Gruev, Ampadu, Tanaka; James, Nmecha, Gnonto

Manchester City vs Leeds United Match Prediction
City may be below their best, but they’re still primed to punish a Leeds side struggling badly. Guardiola’s team hit five past Burnley in their only other game against promoted opposition, and a similar dominant showing feels likely here.
Leeds have the league’s third-worst defence and have lost five of six away matches, making another setback almost inevitable.
Prediction: Man City 3–1 Leeds
