Manchester City will tonight look to close the gap to leaders Arsenal when they return to Premier League action against Leeds at Elland Road.
Pep Guardiola’s side are eight points behind Arsenal after their win over West Ham on Boxing Day but they play twice before the Gunners are next in action.
City looked good in their Carabao Cup win over Liverpool on Thursday, when Erling Haaland was back among the goals after a break for the World Cup.
Leeds are just two points above the relegation zone after losing five of their last seven matches before the mid-season break.
