Leeds welcome Manchester City in a crucial Premier League tie with huge implications at both ends of the league table.

The hosts have escaped the relegation zone and are now six points clear of the drop, following a solid run of form that has seen them lose only two of their last 14 Premier League matches.

Manager Daniel Farke’s side arrive unbeaten in their last three matches, which included difficult away trips to Chelsea and Aston Villa.

Leeds’ resilience can only be admired, and they are looking to go just two points behind fellow promoted side Sunderland, who at one stage looked to be charging towards European football next season.

Manchester City closed the gap to Arsenal with a win over Newcastle last weekend, as manager Pep Guardiola’s side continued to put pressure on the Gunners at the head of the Premier League table.

The gap had been narrowed to just two points before Arsenal’s victory in the North London Derby restored their five-point cushion, though City have a game in hand to play.

City have lost just one Premier League match since November and will arrive here unbeaten in eight matches across all competitions.

What are the best bets for Leeds vs Man City?

Man City to win, Both teams to score

This match epitomises Premier League football, as Leeds’ formidable work rate and desire meet City’s world-class talent.

The hosts have been very hard to beat since the turn of the year, but will face a side with the Premier League title in their sights.

I really want to back the underdog in this match. It’s something that I have done frequently in recent weeks and have been proven right or almost right.

Having said that, Guardiola’s side are mercenaries and will do just enough to win this game, without over-exerting themselves in the middle of a busy fixture schedule.

I’ll take Man City to win this game, with both teams to score, as this bet has landed in all three of the most recent head-to-head matches between these two sides.

Erling Haaland to score

If Erling Haaland has escaped from Dan Burn’s pocket, then expect him to find the net, as he did so twice when these two sides last met at Elland Road back in 2022.
