Fortunately Leeds don't have as many quick players who like to play on the break as Leicester do...

Ah shit.

 

[Newman Noggs]

Not a clue

 

[Fordyboy46]

Wait for the Burnley game to be played first ,maybe ?

 

[FantasyIreland]

Its a shame Jack Harrison can't play,it would have given Pep the opportunity to see what he should have brought back into the fold.

Bielsa vs Pep , this will be good for neutral fans imo.

Leeds done well so far, they have 6 points in 3 games and the Liverpool loss 4-3, not many clubs will score 3 vs Liverpool away and they missed some chances too in that game, of course they could have conceded about 6 as well.

Even if they go behind they dont give up for a moment and keep going forward.

Still their squad is quite poor in most positions, but they do look already more than the sum of its parts.

On paper should be easy win, but we can make it complicated for ourselves. 3 points and big reaction is needed tho after the Leicester massacre.

Leeds are not exactly the best team to face after that horror show. Hopefully we'll have one or two players back for this one.

Before the game it will all be about Bielsa vs Pep. After the game it will all be about Dean

And Anthony Taylor chewing his ear from the touchline

on the other hand, that's one important member of their team that won't be able to play.

Bread cakes v Muffins.
Could get barmy though.

2-1 win to the Manc muffins I fink.

 

[peoffrey]

I'm dreading this one. Really don't like Leeds although I respect Bielsa. They'll be bang up for this one against a City side low on confidence after the Leicester debacle.

 

[Oleole123]

Does Leeds have fast players?

 

[mancity1]

They don't play midweek and have few injuries and on a high having won the derby away.

In saying that Fulham scored 3 on their patch without their main man on the park for the first 75 minutes.

Normally a game we would win comfortably if the mindset and organisation was near its max despite the extra game for some players but that loss last Sunday was one if not the worst under Pep all things considered.

Can only hope we set things right again and get the 3 points we desperately need.

 

[peoffrey]

We can score five at Elland Road if we want. I just dread our defence trying to keep out Leeds. They score spectacular goals Barcelona would be proud of.

BTTS seems like free money.

 

[ScottSinclair]

7-4 to us

The way Leeds play, this is not a game I would have wanted after such a big loss and without a forward. It’s a tough game but with no crowd there that helps as they would have been well up for this.

We need to dig very deep now. We simply have to win this game however that is achieved. The thought of being potentially 9 points behind the dippers even with a game in hand, is not a good one.

Mendy can’t play in this surely so it will probably be Zinchenko given another go as I can’t see Pep playing Ake there yet.

I can see Foden/Fern being dropped for this one and Gundogan/Bernando coming back in if fit.

 

[Blu3m00n91]

I don’t care about the Burnley game but this is a must win already. Not confident at all after that second half display Sunday but I’d go (if available)
Ederson
Walker
Dias
Laporte
Ake
Gundo
Kdb
bernardo
Sterling
Delap
Torres

8/13 so not great odds.

I like the look of KDB first scorer at 11/2

 

[Nebuchadnezzar]

A blood in the water fixture if there ever was one. This could quite believably be 7-3.
