Manchester City Aim to Bounce Back in Premier League, Women's National Team Taking the Field

Manchester City look to regroup when they host Leeds later today after suffering back-to-back matches against Newcastle in the domestic league and Leverkusen in the European competition.

It's possible I rate them more highly than they do themselves. This served as a valuable lesson, as experienced as I am as a manager it was a good lesson for me for the future.

Guardiola is likely to recall those he rested against the Bundesliga side when facing the visiting team.

The Yorkshire club are seeking to improve their results at the Etihad Stadium with the manager's job in some doubt. His side are in the relegation zone of the Premier League, and after this match, a pivotal week approaches for the coach who, just months ago, celebrated promotion from the EFL Championship.

I’ll be honest, things aren't fun right now; there's plenty of negativity. However, I won't shy away. I was aware of how fervent this team is from the outset. When the going gets tough steer clear of managing Leeds. I didn't anticipate this term to be an easy ride.
