Manchester City will be looking to extend their lead at the top of the Premier League table when they welcome Leeds United to the Etihad Stadium on Saturday. Pep Guardiola's team is a point above second-placed Arsenal with a game in hand - which means they have the chance to go four points clear ahead of the last few rounds of the season.
City are unbeaten in the league since their loss to Tottenham back in February - a run that has now stretched to a total of 12 matches which includes the double over title rivals Arsenal. The team from Manchester needs to ensure they don't drop points to avoid allowing the Gunners taking back the lead.
Leeds United have not managed to pick up a win from their last six fixtures and find themselves in a battle to escape relegation from the Premier League. They suffered heavy defeats to Liverpool and Crystal Palace during this run and were beaten 4-1 by Bournemouth in their most recent outing away from home. Leeds, who are 17th in the standings, will hope to cause a massive upset and take points off the Cityzens.

Man City News
Pep Guardiola will be pleased to welcome Kevin De Bruyne back into full training. The midfielder has been out injured for a week but he could return to the matchday squad after a late fitness check.
The Catalan boss will be concerned about the overall fitness and recovery of his players and may be forced to rotate his squad this weekend, with an eye on the Champions League semi-final against Real Madrid next week. He will, however, be glad that there are no fresh injury concerns in the City camp.
