Leeds United begin a daunting run of fixtures on Saturday as they welcome table-toppers Manchester City to Elland Road. Jesse Marsch’s side sit five points above the drop zone - having played a game more than Everton - and face the champions, Arsenal and Chelsea in their next three outings.
One advantage for Leeds ahead of this weekend’s clash is they have an extra day's rest over Pep Guardiola’s men. Man City went beat Real Madrid 4-3 in a thrilling Champions League contest on Tuesday night - and had to do so with a weakened backline.
City’s injury woes saw 36-year-old Fernandinho play large chunks of the game as a makeshift right-back. Kyle Walker has been out of action since a 2-2 draw with Liverpool earlier this month and his absence was evident against the La Liga giants.
