Confirmed Line-Ups: Leeds United vs Manchester City (Premier League) | OneFootball

Manchester City are aiming for a sixth consecutive win in all competitions as they take on Leeds United at Elland Road on Saturday evening

The Blues have gathered momentum in the title race at just the perfect time as they look to mount pressure on Premier League leaders Arsenal in the final months of the campaign.

Two strikes from Nico O’Reilly either side of a Lewis Hall leveller saw Manchester City claim a vital 2-1 win over Newcastle United at the Etihad Stadium last week.

Pep Guardiola has welcomed Jeremy Doku back to first-team training this week as City embark on a jam-packed run of games amid a quest for silverware on four fronts.

City were drawn against familiar foes Real Madrid in the UEFA Champions League Round of 16 on Friday, having progressed to the FA Cup fifth round and Carabao Cup final already in their premier season under director of football Hugo Viana.

Guardiola will know the importance of taking it one game at a time between now and the end of the season, with Arsenal allowing the Blues to claw their way back into the title race conversation in February.

It remains to be seen whether Manchester City can put on a winning run to keep up the pressure on Mikel Arteta and co, who welcome Chelsea to the Emirates Stadium in a blockbuster London battle on Sunday evening.
