We simulated Leeds United vs Man City to get a score prediction (Manchester Evening News)

Manchester City visit Leeds United in the Premier League on Wednesday night, so we simulated the game to try and predict the final score.

FIFA 23 predicts that Leeds United could prove to be a stern test for City on their return to Premier League action, with Guardiola's side needing a stroke of luck in this simulation to grab a win. And early on in the second half, Marsch's side got the goal their play deserved, with Rodrigo intercepting a loose pass from Cancelo and firing past Ederson to level the score. Although this wasn't a typical performance from City, it was a great result, particularly considering they were second-best for the majority of the game. As expected, City dominated the game in the early stages and took the lead just 14 minutes in, with Erling Haaland opening the scoring for the visitors. [City](https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/all-about/manchester-city-fc) made a winning return to competitive football last week following the 2022 World Cup break, beating Liverpool 3-2 in the Carabao Cup, and will be hoping for a similar result against Jesse Marsch's side in midweek. But the game was far from straightforward for Guardiola's side from this point on, with the home side putting up a real fight, and putting City on the back foot for long periods.
