Manchester City's poor Elland Road record gives Leeds United cause for optimism

Leeds United face one of the toughest tests of the season on Saturday as Manchester City travel to Elland Road in pursuit of the Premier League title. It is a must-win for the table toppers with Liverpool breathing down their necks just a point further back.

It is panning out to be yet another colossal title battle between the two heavyweights and one slip up from either side could be enough to hand the trophy to their rivals. Jesse Marsch will be desperate for his players to land a decisive blow to Man City’s hopes of consecutive Premier League titles.

The Whites are unbeaten in their last five games and it would be a priceless result if they were able to extend that to six against the champions. While there won’t be much hope of securing a positive result among the fans in the home end on Saturday, Man City have previously struggled on their visits to Leeds since the formation of the Premier League.
