Pep's Squad Seek to Bounce Back in English Top Flight, England Women in Action

Pep States City of Showing Apprehension in European Setback

Manchester City are aiming to bounce back when they welcome Leeds United later today after losing two losses in a row against Newcastle United in the Premier League and Leverkusen in the European competition.

Maybe I think higher of them than they think about themselves. It was a good lesson for me, even with my background in coaching it was a good lesson for me for the future.

Pep is expected to reinstate those he rested against the German team when facing Leeds United.

The Whites Hope to Improve Performance at Etihad Stadium

The Yorkshire club hope to also find some form at the Etihad Stadium with Daniel Farke’s position in some doubt. His side are in the relegation zone of the top division, and after Manchester City, a pivotal week approaches for the coach who, only last spring, earned promotion from the EFL Championship.

To be frank, the current situation is tough; we’re getting a lot of stick. But I don’t need to hide. I knew about how passionate this organization is from the first day. If you can’t handle the heat don’t become manager of Leeds United. I didn't anticipate this season to be an straightforward journey.
