Leeds United (A) - Sat 30th April, 17:30 (BST) | Pre-Match Thread

[MCFC1993]

Live on Sky Sports for those in the UK. Kick off time 17:30 (BST).

The tough matches just keep coming, this is one of the harder matches we've got left just because you know their crowd is going to be well up for it. We've got to try and silence them early, get some early goals and take the jeopardy away from the game.

It would be nice to get it won early so we can rest for Real Madrid, who have pretty much won the league and will rest everyone at the weekend.

We have to get this one won though, can't be thinking about future matches, 3 points is all that matters.

Liverpool kick off against Newcastle (A) at 12:30 (BST), so we'll either get a huge boost going into this or we'll go into this in 2nd place.

Absentees v Real Madrid:
Kyle Walker
John Stones (went off injured)

City win...because we have to !

Not sure how Marsch has them playing, but the new manager syndrome has hopefully worn off. Will be a difficult match but one we should be winning. Having already played Leipzig this year hopefully there's some tactical familiarity that will help inform our approach.

Think he might swap out Laporte, Bernie, Foden, Mahrez but it’s anyone’s guess.

Ederson
Cancelo
Dias
Ake
Zinchenko
Rodri
KDB
Gundogan
Sterling
Grealish
Jesus

Three points, don't care how

 

[DMA's]

Glad the players have the extra day to prepare for this game. Going to be very difficult as no doubt the players will be thinking about the Madrid game.

Hoping Liverpool drop points at Newcastle and we can open up a bit of a gap at the top of the table.

I think Pep may go with Fern and Rodders in the middle as he did vs Watford
Have to say, watching Palace vs Leeds last night, Leeds are dreadful
Let's get the game won in the first 45 and then rest up

...................Eddie
Cancelo...Dias..Ake...Zinchenko
...........Rodders...Fern
Sterling....Gundogan...Grealish
.................Jesus

Liverpool will be 2 points clear on top when we start this game, we better start fast and score early or this Leeds will grow into their defending. unbeaten on last 5 too they do fight hard for staying up.

fucking Real can rotate all they want as they need 1 point only vs Espanyol to clinch the title or Barca not winning theirs. doubt they worried tho with 15 points clear on top.

Ederson
Cancelo, Dias, Ake, Zinchenko
Rodri
Bernardo, Gundogan
Sterling, Jesus, Grealish

Nothing but a win will do. I really dont care how it comes about, just get those 3 pesky points.
