Manchester City fans clearly had one eye on Wednesday’s Champions League trip to Real Madrid when picking their team to face Leeds.
City are just one game away from reaching their second European final in as many years and they will want their assets primed and ready for the battle of the Bernabeu. With that in mind, supporters have decided to leave out a number of important players for today’s trip to Leeds.
The Premier League champions led the table by a point heading into the weekend and will know a slip-up could cost them the advantage. Pep Guardiola will be confident of seeing out the game with the players they have on the pitch, though, and will know by kick-off whether they are playing to jump back above Liverpool or to extend their lead, with the Reds playing Newcastle at lunchtime.
