Leeds United vs Man City

Manchester City are on the hunt, because they have to be. No return to Elland Road for the former Leeds man. He has been a revelation for Jesse Marsch's side so far this year, making himself a firm fan favourite due to his tough tackling skills and confident, assured presence off the pitch. Will Leeds be able to stop the leaking? We have to get a result. "Haaland text me when the fixtures were announced. Or will Haaland continue to terrorise the entire league? Elland Road is filling up nicely now in time for kick-off. He has Leeds in his heart", said Jesse Marsch in the buildup to the game. We don't have time. We want to be at the top as much as possible." The Leeds United players have just come out to warm up to a huge cheer from the crowd.

My goal this year is to have a good season but to find a way to punch above our weight against the biggest opponents. Man City will be a target in that, but ...

They don’t give you time to think and you have to be precise, you have to be at a high level to do it in the situations you have. The doctor said he damaged his ligaments in his foot and it's so painful. “Our schedule in January is terrible in terms of the amount of games and the quality of the opponents. But the Catalan admits City have been having to manage a foot ligament problem Haaland suffered in the 0-0 Champions League draw away to his former club Dortmund in October. But [the] muscular issues [from his time in Germany] it’s perfect and now it’s much, much better, now it’s a question of time. “So yeah, we talked today: ‘Guys, back to business’. Guardiola said Haaland is over the muscular problems that dogged him at times at Borussia Dortmund. Man City will be a target in that, but managing a match against them for 90 plus minutes is extremely difficult. “They will push their team, it will not be a friendly game. Lewis featured in the Carabao Cup win over Liverpool and was praised publicly by Guardiola. Thanks to Argentina, he will come back a better player. Guardiola also insists Alvarez’s exploits at Argentina will only benefit City - rather than give him a selection headache.

United currently sit two points above the drop zone and they have the opportunity to move up to 12th with a win this evening. It's a challenge myself and the team are all looking forward to, especially here at Elland Road in front of our fans and we will give it our all to send you home happy. We know this test will be the biggest we have had in the campaign so far and our concentration and performance levels need to be at the absolute maximum. This is his first time back at Elland Road and he's sure to get a good reception from the Leeds support if he get on. In fact, they lost last time out in the Premier League against Brentford. Marsch is hoping a chunk of those will be available this evening. Greenwood will play in a more advanced role when in possession, but he'll drop back and slot in alongside Forshaw to form a midfield three. However, as we have proved this season already, we are not afraid of the top teams in this league. “Pascal Struijk is as unassuming as he is talented and has been a consummate professional since he joined the club. In the same week Mark Jackson departed for Milton Keynes Dons, Kinnear talked up how fitting it was one of his former students signed a long-term deal with Leeds. Kinnear was writing in the club’s programme ahead of Manchester City’s visit. Cooper, Meslier, Harrison, Summerville, Rodrigo and Klich have all been passed fit to be involved.

Erling Haaland scored a brace and missed several good chances as the reigning champions beat their hosts with a minimum of fuss.

44 min: Rico Lewis advances down the inside right, latching on to a flick around the corner from Kevin De Bruyne. Rodri lumps it forward and Erling Haaland sets off on the chase but Leeds goalkeeper Ilan Meslier is quick off his line to deal with any danger. A mix-up between Liam Cooper and Robin Koch allows Jack Grealish to advance unopposed on the Leeds penalty area with the ball at his feet. From inside the Leeds penalty area, Haaland plays the ball left to Jack Grealish. 75 min: Erling Haaland is denied a hat-trick, appearing to get the ball caught under his feet after drifting between centre-backs and running on to a through ball. His delivery is excellent and from the edge of the six-yard box, Pascal Struijk rises highest to steer a header past Ederson.

Free highlights and match report as Haaland converts twice from Jack Grealish assists after Rodri opened the scoring on the stroke of half-time; City now up ...

I was a commentator in my own home about the World Cup but nobody was listening to me. We've seen in the training sessions he has the ability to put the ball into the net. Given the reputation he has and how tall he is, but his character is completely the opposite. Man City striker Erling Haaland told Amazon Prime: "I said to my team-mates I could have scored five and that's the truth. We were exceptional in the first half but we wasted opportunities... It was his first Premier League goal of the season and remarkably City's first from open play away from home in five games. The two performances since coming back, against Liverpool [in the Carabao Cup] and today have been great." Leeds had lost by an aggregate score of 11-0 to Man City over the course of their Premier League meetings last season and another heavy defeat looked on the cards before Pascal Struijk pulled one back with 16 minutes to play. City's 16 efforts made for the biggest disparity between two teams in any Premier League game this season. But Rodri's opener (45+1) moments before the break rewarded Man City's supremacy and when Haaland hit the net twice in 13 minutes there was only going to be one outcome. City eventually got their goal on the stroke of half-time, though, with Rodri brilliantly rolling on a De Bruyne pass for Riyad Mahrez before reacting quickest to turn in the rebound from his team-mate's shot. Leeds boss Jesse Marsch had coached Haaland at RB Salzburg earlier in his career but, like so many Premier League managers this season, could find no way to keep the prolific frontman at bay.
