Pep's Squad Aim to Return to Winning Ways in Top Division, England Women Set to Play
City's Manager States His Team of Being Timid in European Setback
The Sky Blues will hope to bounce back when they face Leeds later today after enduring back-to-back matches against Newcastle in the Premier League and Bayer Leverkusen in the European competition.
Perhaps my expectations exceed their self-belief. This served as a valuable lesson, despite my managerial experience I'll carry this insight forward.
Pep is expected to reinstate those he rested against the Leverkusen when facing Leeds United.
Leeds Hope to Find Form at Manchester
The Yorkshire club are seeking to improve their results at the Etihad Stadium with the manager's job in question. Leeds United are 18th in the table of the Premier League, and after facing City, a crucial period approaches for the German who, only last spring, celebrated promotion from the Championship.
To be frank, it’s not very enjoyable at the moment; we’re getting a lot of stick. Yet I'm not avoiding this. I understood how fervent this team is from the beginning. If you're not up for the pressure avoid this job. I didn't anticipate this campaign to be an easy ride.
