Jack Grealish could be in the midfield three, alongside Rodri and Gundogan, or it could be a 4-2-3-1. They've had a few corners, but Meslier hasn't had too much to do in the first ten minutes. Meslier still hasn't had too much to do, but he's had to pick the ball out of the back of his net. He gets into the area, but he doesn't have the pace to get clear of the recovering City defenders, and ends up taking a touch too many. 26th min: Leeds have been very aggressive in their approach today, both with and without the ball. 48th min: The ball is moved out to Grealish on the left. Second half: It looks like Raphinha will be playing on the right for Leeds. He's holding a fairly deep position, and City will be glad to see him away from their goal. 32nd min: Grealish receives the ball on the left. 89th min: The Leeds fans are still in good voice, and they can be proud of what they've seen today from their team. 86th min: It's been mostly Man City in the last few minutes. The slightest slip-up could be the difference between success and failure in their tussle with Liverpool for the Premier League crown. The title race is expected to go right to the wire, and Pep Guardiola will be well aware that any dropped points could be fatal to his side's chances of defending the trophy.

It was second-half substitute Fernandinho who fired home a low effort on the edge of the box. A deep corner saw Dias head the ball back into the middle of the goal where Nathan Ake was well-positioned to stab home and double the advantage for the visitors. Foden had caused problems all afternoon and was the architect again, sliding the ball in for Gabriel Jesus to finish beyond Illan Meslier. There had also been quite a few stoppages in the first half for both sides to contend with. A slip in the City defence from Ruben Dias allowed Rodrigo to race through on goal, but his effort from a narrowing angle was well blocked. Frustratingly for Leeds, City scored with their first real attempt of the match.
Guardiola's side travelled to Elland Road in Leeds knowing they had to win after Liverpool beat Newcastle. They did. Comfortably in the end.
Rodrigo went haring off up the pitch and got into the box on the left, but he was just too slow and unsure of exactly what he wanted to do with it, and the City defense got back in time to nab the ball off him. Leeds playing with a packed back-line, five of them most of the time when City have the ball, which so far has been most of the two minutes of the match. Leeds! The City corner broke out to Cancelo, who bizarrely fell over (well he slipped) and gifted the home side a peach of a break.

Leeds! The City corner broke out to Cancelo, who bizarrely fell over (well he slipped) and gifted the home side a peach of a break. Leeds fans incensed as Aké handles the ball to prevent Leeds coming out with it and then goes on to win a corner. So far though Leeds have had the best chance, thanks to Cancelo slipping as he gathered the ball from a cleared City corner. Alas for Leeds both a lack of touch and communication mean the move breaks down as they bring it into the real danger area. On paper that was never going to be too hard a task - see the 7-0 in the previous fixture this season - but City had players out and Leeds are fighting for survival and at home. James comes on for him, so the injury was clearly too severe to try and work on it at half-time. Junior nearly getting in again for Leeds and then Grealish escaping after some physical battles to make a burst down the left and whip in a tempting ball that finds nothing more than lonely, empty space. City go to Leeds and reclaim the summit.
It was a tale of two set-pieces at Elland Road as Manchester City kept themselves top of the Premier League with three precious points with a 4-0 win over ...
Like Sterling and Jesus, he squandered a fantastic chance to make it 2-0. Fouled regularly and once or twice the referee even blew for it. However, there was no mistake when he made it 3-0 late on- that was a very nice strike. Embarrassing defenders with his trickery is now a weekly hobby for Foden. Used his physicality wonderfully to head it down for Ake and create the second goal. Wasted a late chance, not that it matters too much, and then got a great late block in.

He cut the ball back, and Klich slides to meet it next to the penalty area. To their credit, Leeds continued to press and harry, and they didn't seem to lose hope, but they still offered too little in the final third. 92nd min: Klich makes a run down the right, and the ball is lofted into his path. Guardiola's side notch up a comprehensive win to respond to Liverpool's victory earlier on, and they boost their goal difference in the process. Leeds continued their approach for the rest of the first half and, in truth, City found them very hard to deal with. Leeds were aggressive, both on and off the ball, and regularly looked to disrupt City's rhythm when out of possession.

Leeds came out firing in the second half, but it was City who scored first, Ake turning it in from another set piece on 54 minutes. City recovered well and had a string of chances in front of the home side's goal before they eventually took the lead on 13 minutes when Rodri glanced the ball past Leeds goalkeeper Illan Meslier from a curling Phil Foden free kick. Leeds put up a good challenge to the Premier League champions, but struggled to keep a hold on the ball in key areas.

Manchester City returned to the top of the Premier League with a crucial 4-0 victory against Leeds United at Elland Road on Saturday evening.
Whilst there was a stark contrast in the quality possessed by the two sides at Elland Road, City took their chances and were efficient from set-pieces, and with De Bruyne and Mahrez set to come back into the side against Madrid on Wednesday, City could benefit from a different goalscoring avenue. Whether it will see City decide against sanctioning a sale for Jesus and instead offer him a new contract or not, Jesus is hitting form at just the right time to finish the season on a high to get his desired move in the summer and stake a serious claim for the Brazil National Team for the World Cup in Qatar. Pep Guardiola's men made it four wins on the trot with a convincing win against tough opposition as goals from Rodri, Nathan Ake, Gabriel Jesus and Fernandinho took the Premier League champions back to the top of the pile after Liverpool secured a narrow win away at Newcastle on Saturday afternoon.

A quick glance at the scoreline and you would think this was a predictably one-side game between a side chasing a second consecutive Premier League title ...
“A 4-0 home loss and there was so much passion and love for the team from the fans. “We knew it wouldn’t be easy. “But two goals from set-pieces can sometimes unblock these kind of games.” “We wanted something to take with us, to continue to grow from the experience and to be ready for the next four massive challenges – I think we can do that. For all the urgency of Leeds United’s predicament, desperately trying to cling to life in the Premier League with four games to go, this was not a scoreline that points to a team going in only one direction. There was desire in their pressing, focus in their organisation, energy in their legs, and from the stands, unwavering support and defiance.
Leeds' loss against Manchester City was sandwiched by wins for both Burnley and Everton in a worrying weekend for the Whites.
They have all the momentum, but more pessimistic Clarets may look at their final four games with worry. The Foxes are unbeaten in their last 10 home games in all competitions but have a huge Europa Conference League semi-final at Roma on Thursday. After that, The Toffees host consecutive home games against Brentford and Crystal Palace in a massive three-game period in which they can either pull into safety or drop into the abyss. They travel to an Arsenal side with three wins on the bounce and Champions League qualification to play for, before a midweek visit of Chelsea who are by no means guaranteed a top-four spot. Eyes now turn to next weekend, as each of the three clubs weigh up their run-in and count up their points. In a weekend where everything that could go wrong did go wrong, Leeds United were dragged deeper into the relegation fight than they have been all season.
“Our fans were outstanding, I think the best performance of the night was our fans,” the head coach explained. “The reason they were so into the match is ...
Marsch said: “I feel like this scoreline was worse than I wanted, but the performance was better than I wanted. “I think we had some big chances at different moments and we contained a lot of the things they tried to do and a lot of their really good players, in a lot of moments in the match. “Before the match we said we wanted a good performance, and that’s what we have.”
