The two coaches will face each other in the midweek round of the Premier League: according to the numbers there is no match, but last season the Citizens suffered
The challenge between Pep Guardiola and Marcelo Bielsa always offers unique and extremely interesting ideas. Manchester City and Leeds will face each other in the 17th day of the Premier League, in the midweek round, with kick-off on Tuesday at 21. The Etihad game, however, risks being one-way, at least that’s what the ranking and the moment they are going through say. the two teams. The English champions come from six consecutive victories in the league and are at the top of the standings, with one point ahead of Liverpool and two over Chelsea; Leeds are 15th and have only won one of their last six league games.
THE MOMENT
–
Bielsa’s men, however, went a step away from stopping Chelsea in the last match played, Saturday at Stamford Bridge: the European champions won 3-2 thanks to the penalty scored in full recovery by Jorginho (two out of two from the spot in the game), after Joe Gelhardt had frozen Stamford Bridge with the 2-2 in the 83rd minute. While Manchester City struggled to win at home against Wolverhampton, a 1-0 penalty converted by Sterling mid-second with Wolves in ten men from halftime after Raul Jimenez sent off. All after the painless defeat on the field of Leipzig in the Champions League.
PREVIOUS
–
The numbers speak of an uneven challenge, the latest releases of the two teams instead suggest that something unexpected could happen. Also because it is an eventuality that finds an important foothold in the latest matches between Manchester City and Leeds: last year an equal (1-1 with a goal from Sterling and Rodrigo) and 2-1 for Bielsa’s team arrived. with a brace from Stuart Dallas, in the middle the momentary equalizer by Ferran Torres. Considering Leeds’ long absence from the Premier League before last season, Manchester City have not won in the English top flight since 11 January 2003: two defeats and as many draws since then.
December 12 – 13:11
