Manchester City vs Leeds United prediction, preview, team news and more | Premier League 2020-21

Manchester City welcome Leeds United to the Etihad Stadium on Saturday as they aim to wrap up the title with seven games to go.

Pep Guardiola's side are 14 points clear at the summit with an extra game played.

The odd defeat against cross-city rivals Manchester United only turned out to be a blip in what has been an otherwise spotless season.

Since that game, the Cityzens have netted seven goals and not conceded even once on their way to three consecutive victories.

Meanwhile, Leeds United have found some late-season form. After a dire spell of form, the Peacocks have earned seven points from their last nine available.

Bielsa's side have quality on the break, and in recent games they have displayed far better levels of defensive awareness.

Leeds will be drawing inspiration from the reverse fixture against Man City, where Rodrigo rescued a point after Raheem Sterling had given his team a 1-0 lead.
