Kevin De Bruyne has sent a warning to Leeds United ahead of Manchester City's trip to Elland Road on Wednesday having returned from the World Cup in 'outstanding' form, according to Pep Guardiola. De Bruyne registered two assists for City as they defeated Liverpool 3-2 in the Carabao Cup last-16 on Thursday; their first game since the resumption of the domestic season.
The 31-year-old was heavily criticised for his performances during the World Cup, as he and his Belgium teammates were surprisingly eliminated in the group stages. And De Bruyne has clearly felt he has a point to prove following his disappointing performances in Qatar, taking just 10 minutes to rekindle his partnership with Erling Haaland.
Time after time against Liverpool he was finding his teammates in space inside the area with world class deliveries, and he also picked out Nathan Ake to head home the winner. Leeds will have to be on red alert his defending crosses from wide areas against City, something which has been a major weakness so far this season.
