Pep's Squad Seek to Return to Winning Ways in Top Division, Women's National Team Taking the Field
City's Manager Accuses Manchester City of Showing Apprehension in Defeat to Leverkusen
Pep Guardiola's side are aiming to respond positively when they face Leeds United later today after losing two losses in a row against Newcastle United in the Premier League and Leverkusen in the Champions League.
Maybe I think higher of them than they think about themselves. I learned something important, as experienced as I am as a manager I'll carry this insight forward.
Guardiola is likely to recall those he gave a break to against the Bundesliga side when facing Daniel Farke’s side.
Farke's Team Aim to Find Form at Manchester
Daniel Farke's squad hope to also find some form at the home of Manchester City with Farke's role in slight jeopardy. Leeds United are near the bottom of the Premier League, and after facing City, a pivotal week looms for the manager who, just months ago, earned promotion from the second tier.
I’ll be honest, things aren't fun right now; we’re getting a lot of stick. Yet I'm not avoiding this. I knew about how passionate this club is from the first day. If you can’t handle the heat steer clear of managing Leeds. It wasn't my assumption this season to be an straightforward journey.
