Manchester City Seek to Bounce Back in English Top Flight, Lionesses in Action

The Sky Blues are aiming to bounce back when they welcome the Yorkshire club later today after enduring two losses in a row against Newcastle in the domestic league and the German side in the UCL.

It's possible I rate them more highly than they do themselves. I learned something important, even with my background in coaching I'll carry this insight forward.

Guardiola is probably bringing back those he left out against the German team when facing Leeds United.

Leeds hope to also find some form at the City's ground with the manager's job in slight jeopardy. Leeds United are near the bottom of the English football, and after this match, a pivotal week awaits for the German who, just months ago, celebrated promotion from the second tier.

To be frank, things aren't fun right now; there's plenty of negativity. Yet I'm not avoiding this. I understood how fervent this club is from the beginning. When the going gets tough don’t become manager of Leeds United. I never expected this term to be an straightforward journey.
