Manchester City have a defensive injury crisis, but it presents a massive opportunity for Aymeric Laporte and Nathan Ake to step up and become heroes.
We simulated Leeds United vs Man City to get a score prediction
30.04.2022 - 12:13 / manchestereveningnews.co.uk
Manchester City face a trip to Elland Road on Saturday in the Premier League as they face an in-form Leeds United side.
After their 5-1 win over Watford last week, City remain on top of the Premier League by a single point, with Gabriel Jesus putting in his best performance of the season as he grabbed four goals. A win is a must on Saturday for City with the Reds on their tail, but Pep Guardiola will have one eye on next week's UEFA Champions League second leg tie against Real Madrid.
One of the games of the season saw City claim a 4-3 win over Real Madrid in the first leg of their semi-final tie, and with the second leg on Wednesday, Guardiola may opt to rest a few of his players. Kyle Walker remains a doubt after missing the last few games for City, whilst John Stones looks set to miss out after coming off with an injury against Real Madrid.
