Leeds United host reigning Premier League champions and current league leaders Manchester City on Saturday afternoon in a mammoth clash. 11 points from five unbeaten games and back-to-back clean sheets should give Jesse Marsch confidence, although Pep Guardiola’s City are a different beast entirely.
Marsch admitted that welcoming City to Elland Road is far from easy, adding that his side will have to be ‘annoying, pesky, dangerous as well’ if they are to take anything from the game. But he also believes a combination of their attitude and the Elland Road crowd can make it tough.
The American coach was quizzed on three key personnel decisions in the lead up to Saturday, with Mateusz Klich and Dan James struggling to make an impact during Monday's 0-0 draw at Crystal Palace, while Junior Firpo’s return to fitness could put an end to the square-peg-in-round-hole Stuart Dallas decision.
