Manchester City Aim to Regain Form in Premier League, England Women in Action

City's Manager Accuses City of Being Timid in Leverkusen Loss

The Sky Blues will hope to bounce back when they welcome Leeds United later today after losing consecutive defeats against Newcastle United in the English top flight and Leverkusen in the European competition.

Perhaps my expectations exceed their self-belief. I learned something important, even with my background in coaching this will inform my future approach.

The Manchester City manager is probably bringing back those he gave a break to against the Leverkusen when facing Daniel Farke’s side.

Leeds Look to Regain Momentum at Etihad Stadium

Leeds hope to also find some form at the Etihad Stadium with Farke's role in question. Leeds United are near the bottom of the top division, and after Manchester City, a crucial period approaches for the manager who, only last spring, earned promotion from the Championship.

I’ll be honest, things aren't fun right now; there's plenty of negativity. However, I won't shy away. I knew about how fervent this team is from the first day. If you can’t handle the heat don’t become manager of Leeds United. I never expected this season to be an easy ride.
