Leeds United and Manchester City face off on Wednesday in an English Premier League showdown at Elland Road. When these two teams faced off on April 30th, it was Manchester City that secured the 4-0 victory. 

Manchester City comes into this game sitting in 3rd place in the standings having picked up 32 points. On December 22nd, they faced off against Liverpool, and they were able to secure a 3-2 victory to advance in the EFL Cup. Erling Haaland scored in the 10th minute and there were two goals in the second half that allowed them to advance. Ruben Dias is dealing with a hamstring injury that he suffered during the World Cup, and he will be out for the next month or so. Ederson, Kyle Walker, Joao Cancelo, and Bernardo Silva are all back from the World Cup, and they are all expected to play in this game. 

On the other side of this matchup is Leeds United, who sits in 15th place in the standings having picked up 15 points. On December 21st, Leeds United faced off against Monaco, and they were defeated 4-2. Two games ago against Real Sociedad, Leeds United secured a 2-1 victory. Tyler Adams is suspended for this game, and he won’t be able to go in this game. Illan Meslier is the first-choice goalkeeper, but he is dealing with an illness, and it’s unclear if he’s going to be able to go here. Not having him would be a big loss for the team. If he can’t go, it will be Kristoffer Klaesson that will make the start here. At times, the defense has been inconsistent, and they need the offense to be better in this game. 

Manchester City scored three goals in the last game, and they are going to have no issue running up the score in this game. Look for Manchester City to attack a Leeds United defense that has struggled this season, and that is going to be the difference here. Back Manchester City -2.5 to cash here.
