    Manchester City - v - Leeds United *** Matchday Thread***



    TEAM NEWS

    Manchester City's Kevin De Bruyne faces a fitness test on the injury that has caused him to miss the last two games.

    Manager Pep Guardiola has to decide whether to recall goalkeeper Ederson after Stefan Ortega started against West Ham on Wednesday.

    Leeds' new boss Sam Allardyce is expected to make changes for his first match in charge.

    However, he is without injured quartet Tyler Adams, Liam Cooper, Stuart Dallas and Luis Sinisterra.

    MATCH FACTS

    Head-to-head

    The three straight wins Manchester City have recorded against Leeds is as many as they registered in their previous 15 meetings in the Premier League.

    Having lost this fixture 7-0 last season, Leeds are looking to avoid successive away defeats to Manchester City for the first time since 1992.

    This is the 100th league match between the sides, City have won 43 and Leeds 38, with 18 draws.

    Manchester City

    Manchester City have won nine consecutive league matches and require 12 points from their final five fixtures to win a third title in a row and a fifth in six seasons.

    City have suffered just two defeats in their last 60 Premier League matches that have kicked off at 3pm on a Saturday (W50, D8), with both coming against Crystal Palace.

    Erling Haaland has set a new record for the most goals scored in a Premier League season, with his total of 35 surpassing the previous mark of 34 set by Andrew Cole and Alan Shearer (both of whom did so in 42-match seasons).

    He has scored 51 goals in 45 club appearances in all competitions this season, 12 behind Dixie Dean's all-time English top-flight record of 63.

    Against West Ham on Wednesday, Phil Foden scored Manchester City 1,000th goal in all competitions since Pep Guardiola took over.

    They are aiming to keep successive Premier League clean sheets at home for the first time since January to February 2022.

    Leeds United

    Leeds conceded 23 goals in seven games in April, the most by a Premier League club in a single month and the most by a top-flight side since Birmingham also let in 23 in April 1965.

    They have conceded 146 league goals since the start of last season, more than any other Premier League side. They have conceded at least three goals in 22 different games in that time, which is also a top-flight high.

    The Whites are without a win in five league matches (D1, L4).

    Sam Allardyce extends his own record to take charge of a ninth different team in the Premier League. He's won his first league game in charge at five of his previous eight clubs.

    Wilfried Gnonto has assisted three goals in his last six league appearances.

    Oh dear. God help us....
