Manchester City return to Premier League action for the first time since the World Cup as they take on Leeds United at Elland Road on Wednesday night
Pep Guardiola's side will be looking to leapfrog second-placed Newcastle with a win against Leeds as they attempt to close the gap to league leaders Arsenal. The Gunners' 3-1 win against West Ham on Boxing Day means that City are now eight points adrift of the North London side - albeit with a game in hand.
Guardiola will know how vital it is that his team hit the ground running after the enforced winter break, with the Blues looking to build upon their thrilling Carabao Cup win over Liverpool last week.
