Manchester City Look to Return to Winning Ways in Top Division, Women's National Team Taking the Field

Pep Guardiola's side look to regroup when they host Leeds United later today after suffering two losses in a row against the Magpies in the domestic league and Leverkusen in the Champions League.

Perhaps my expectations exceed their self-belief. I learned something important, despite my managerial experience this will inform my future approach.

Pep is probably bringing back those he gave a break to against the Leverkusen when facing the visiting team.

The Yorkshire club hope to also find some form at the Etihad Stadium with Daniel Farke’s position in slight jeopardy. Leeds United are near the bottom of the English football, and after facing City, a pivotal week awaits for the manager who, recently, earned promotion from the EFL Championship.

To be frank, things aren't fun right now; there's plenty of negativity. Yet I'm not avoiding this. I understood how passionate this club is from the first day. If you can’t handle the heat don’t become manager of Leeds United. I didn't anticipate this season to be an straightforward journey.
