Pep's Squad Aim to Regain Form in Top Division, Lionesses Set to Play

Pep Guardiola's side will hope to respond positively when they face the Yorkshire club later today after enduring consecutive defeats against Newcastle in the Premier League and Leverkusen in the Champions League.

Perhaps my expectations exceed their self-belief. This served as a valuable lesson, as experienced as I am as a manager it was a good lesson for me for the future.

Guardiola is likely to recall those he rested against the Leverkusen when facing the visiting team.

Leeds hope to also find some form at the City's ground with Daniel Farke’s position in question. Leeds United are near the bottom of the top division, and after Manchester City, a pivotal week awaits for the coach who, just months ago, celebrated promotion from the EFL Championship.

To be frank, it’s not very enjoyable at the moment; we face criticism. However, I won't shy away. I was aware of how passionate this club is from the outset. When the going gets tough don’t become manager of Leeds United. I never expected this campaign to be an straightforward journey.

The English top division: The thirteenth round ... where has the time gone? Is a title resurgence possible for City? What challenges await Wolves' manager? Is Estêvão in line for a start?
