Manchester City are in the driving seat and will be looking to maintain their pole position with five matches to go when they welcome a Leeds United side who have appointed their third permanent manager of the season. Relegation-survival specialist Sam Allardyce returns to the dugout at Elland Road after Javi Gracia was sacked after just one win in their last matches.
City are the unsurprising favourites going into this match at 1/7 with Betfred while Leeds, under their third manager of the season, are 14/1 and a draw is 7/1.
New boss Allardyce certainly did not mince his words in the press conferences going into his first match in management since suffering his first-ever career relegation at West Brom. The former Bolton Wanderers manager compared himself highly to the likes of Pep Guardiola, Jurgen Klopp and Mikel Arteta - a bold claim with his side level on points with Nottingham Forest but above the relegation zone on goal difference.
