Manchester City Aim to Bounce Back in Top Division, Lionesses in Action
Guardiola Claims City of Playing with Fear in European Setback
Pep Guardiola's side are aiming to bounce back when they welcome Leeds United later today after enduring two losses in a row against Newcastle United in the Premier League and Bayer Leverkusen in the Champions League.
Maybe I think higher of them than they think about themselves. This served as a valuable lesson, as experienced as I am as a manager it was a good lesson for me for the future.
Guardiola is probably bringing back those he gave a break to against the German team when facing Daniel Farke’s side.
The Whites Aim to Improve Performance at Etihad Stadium
The Yorkshire club hope to also find some form at the Etihad Stadium with the manager's job in some doubt. The team are near the bottom of the Premier League, and after Manchester City, a crucial period looms for the manager who, just months ago, earned promotion from the EFL Championship.
Truthfully, things aren't fun right now; we’re getting a lot of stick. However, I won't shy away. I was aware of how fervent this team is from the beginning. If you're not up for the pressure don’t become manager of Leeds United. I didn't anticipate this term to be an easy ride.
