The Man City homepage has analyzed Leeds United.
Leeds' form
Leeds' three victories so far have been against Everton, Wolves and West Ham, spanning their 12 matches.
They also had home draws with Newcastle and Bournemouth, meaning the win over Wolves was their only away win this season.
They are one point ahead of 19th-placed Burnley but are only three points behind West Ham, Nottingham Forest and Fulham in the bottom half of the Premier League.
Coach
German coach Daniel Farke, 49, has taken on much of his notable work as a coach in England, having previously worked for Norwich City for four years from 2017 to 2021.
During that time, he helped the Canaries play quite well in the Championship but had difficulty playing in the Premier League.
Daniel Farke joined Leeds in 2023, losing the play-off final to Southampton in his first year before taking a 100 point lead to the Championship last season and a ticket to the top flight.
Head-to-head record
Man City have won their last four games against Leeds, scoring 16 goals.
There have been a total of 20 Premier League games between the two sides, with City winning eight and Leeds winning seven.
Overall, Man City have scored 32 goals in those 20 games and conceded 24.
City have also won 23 of their last 25 Premier League games against promoted sides (D2). However, in April 2021, Leeds defeated Man City with a score of 2-1.
Scoring achievements
The 11 goals Leeds have scored so far are the second worst in the league, behind only Wolves with seven goals. Leeds have an expected goals of up to 14.9, which means their ability to take advantage is quite poor.
Leeds were much more dangerous in the first half than in the second half, scoring 9 out of 11 goals before the tournament was held off.
Meanwhile, they led the Premier League in goals in the first 15 minutes, with 4 goals in that time.
Six of Leeds' goals have come from set pieces, seventh in the league and that will be the weapon they will use against Man City.
Lukas Nmecha has scored the most goals with three goals, while Noah Okafor and centre-back Joe Rodon each have two goals.
Sean Longstaff, a box-to-box midfielder, is the joint leader (with Jeremy Doku) in the entire Premier League for a big chance created as defined by Opta with six times.
Defensive ability
Leeds conceded 22 goals, fourth most in the league, although their expected goals conceded were just 16.4. That shows that their defense is quite poor. Of the 22 goals conceded, 14 were conceded by Leeds after the break, and 8 were conceded in the first half.
