Leeds United must force Manchester City to drop deep to exploit any potential 'weaknesses' in Pep Guardiola's side. The Premier League champions are famous for dictating play in the opposition's half of the pitch, and were in scintilating form in front of goal in their 4-3 Champions League semi-final first leg win against Real Madrid on Tuesday night.
But if that performance struck fear into Leeds' fans' hearts ahead of Saturday night's Premier League clash with Kevin de Bruyne and Co at Elland Road, then there was some hope to be had in the seven-goal thriller. City uncharacteristcally allowed Madrid back into the game despite hold a two-goal lead three times in the game.
And while Jesse Marsch may not be able to turn to the likes of Karim Benzema or Vinicius Junior when the two sides meet, former Real Madrid and Liverpool star Steve McManaman highlighted some key areas which Leeds could look to exploit. Of course, it relies in keeping them out at the other end, but with just five goals conceded in their last five, Marsch has addressed this key factor for the Whites.
