Pep's Squad Aim to Regain Form in Premier League, England Women in Action

Pep Claims His Team of Showing Apprehension in European Setback

The Sky Blues will hope to bounce back when they welcome Leeds United later today after suffering two losses in a row against Newcastle in the Premier League and Bayer Leverkusen in the Champions League.

Perhaps my expectations exceed their self-belief. It was a good lesson for me, even with my background in coaching I'll carry this insight forward.

Guardiola is probably bringing back those he rested against the German team when facing Leeds United.

Leeds Hope to Regain Momentum at City's Home Ground

The Yorkshire club aim to turn things around at the Etihad Stadium with Daniel Farke’s position in question. Leeds United are in the relegation zone of the Premier League, and after facing City, a crucial period awaits for the coach who, only last spring, won promotion from the Championship.

I’ll be honest, it’s not very enjoyable at the moment; there's plenty of negativity. But I don’t need to hide. I understood how fervent this team is from the outset. When the going gets tough steer clear of managing Leeds. It wasn't my assumption this campaign to be an straightforward journey.
