Man City vs Leeds prediction, preview for Premier League Saturday match image

Man City continue their title charge as they host Leeds in the Premier League on Saturday, May 6.

Pep Guardiola's side are ahead of second-place Arsenal by one point with one game in hand over the Gunners, too. City have not lost a competitive match since February 5.

Leeds have four games left to secure safety in the Premier League, and they have hired manager Sam Allardyce to help them achieve this. They are winless in five games and have not kept a clean sheet since February.

In the previous league meeting between the two sides this season, Man City ran out 3-1 winners in Leeds, thanks to a brace from star striker Erling Haaland.

Man City vs Leeds prediction

Prediction: Man City 3-1 Leeds

Due to the league positions (1st vs. 17th) and current form of each side, Man City are the favourites heading into this fixture. If Kevin De Bruyne returns to the squad for this match, it will mean that Guardiola certainly will have a fully fit side to choose from.

Allardyce will be without at least three players for the game, but that has not hindered his confidence. Leeds fans will be hoping that their side can at least secure a draw, but the manager may go for all three points.

Man City have won each of the last three meetings between the two sides, scoring a total of 14 goals in that time. This includes the 7-0 win at the Etihad last season. Leeds, however, did win 2-1 at this stadium in the 2020/21 campaign.
