Welcome to Extratips – Man City vs Leeds Match Preview and Prediction!

Manchester City host Leeds United on November 29th at the Etihad, with kick-off at 15:00 for this Premier League clash. City sit comfortably in 3rd place with 19 points from 10 matches, having scored 25 and conceded 13. Leeds, struggling at 15th with 11 points and -8 goal difference, seek a turning point in their season.

The odds offer a clear message: Man City are big favorites (1.25 for a home win, 5.50 for a draw, 11.00 for an away win). Expect the hosts to push for another high-scoring performance. Top scorer Erling Haaland leads City's attack with 13 league goals, while Doku has racked up 3 assists in 10 matches. Leeds will look to J. Rodon and N. Okafor for attacking spark.

Looking at past battles, City have dominated: won the last four encounters (2-1, 3-1, 4-0, 7-0), while Leeds managed a 2-1 upset in April 2021. City's recent results at home: 4 wins, 1 draw. Leeds away: 1 win, 1 draw, 3 losses.

Man City’s strengths: relentless attack, sharp passing, and set-piece threat. Weaknesses: sometimes exposed on counter, vulnerable on defensive transitions, and lapses late in games. Leeds' strengths: effort, pressing, and pace; but they’ve struggled to finish chances, stop quick attacks, and defend crosses.

Key factors: No notable injuries for City, their main threats are fit. Leeds have squad depth issues and confidence concerns. Tactical shifts for City include a more fluid front three.

Storylines: (1) Can Leeds upset the odds like in 2021? (2) Haaland chasing another scoring record. (3) Will City’s defense tighten up?

With City firing, goals likely, but Leeds desperate for points could shape a lively contest.
