MATCH FACTS
Head-to-head
Leeds have not lost a Premier League home game against Manchester City since a 2-1 defeat on 5 September 2000.
They have been beaten in just two of their previous nine home league matches versus City (W6, D1).
Manchester City are vying to complete a league double against Leeds for the first time since 1981-82, a season that saw the Whites relegated from the top flight.
Leeds United
Leeds are winless in six home league matches against reigning top-flight champions (D2, L4) since beating Arsenal 1-0 in May 1999 - a victory that effectively cost the Gunners the title that season.
They are looking to record three consecutive top-flight clean sheets for the first time since August 2002. The third game of that sequence was a 3-0 home win against Manchester City.
The Yorkshire club have failed to keep a clean sheet in each of their last nine Premier League home fixtures.
After taking one point out of a possible 24, Leeds are unbeaten in five games under Jesse Marsch (W3, D2).
They last went six matches without defeat in March and April last year, a run which included a 2-1 victory against Manchester City.
Manchester City
The reigning champions can claim three consecutive Premier League victories for the first time in 2022 (their 12-match winning streak ended in January, but only two of those wins came in the current calendar year).
Manchester City's only away league loss this season was a 1-0 defeat at Tottenham on the opening weekend. They have won 12 and drawn three of 15 matches on the road since then.
City are aiming to record five consecutive clean sheets in away league games for the first time in their history.
Kevin de Bruyne has been involved in eight goals in his last six Premier League appearances, scoring four and assisting four.
Riyad Mahrez has been involved in 12 goals in his last nine league games, scoring eight and assisting four more.
Gabriel Jesus has scored six goals in his last five games for City, equalling his total from his previous 28 appearances.
There you have it, probably too good for us to have any hope of nicking this one but I'll not rule out a Dallas esque last minute finish to get us something 1 point or all 3 I'm not fussed Dare I say it 2-1 with Jack and Joff getting us the win

Just have to dust ourselves down and go again against Arsenal.. pointless today but despite the scoreline we showed plenty of ability and evidence we deserve to be in the Premier league
We are fighting for our lives and the players and the manager will be giving everything in these last 4 games to ensure we stay up.

I think we played OK.
Winnable games coming, including home to Chelsea who play Liverpool in the Cup final a few days later.

We played ok in patches and certainly had a great spell in the first half.
Bottom line is they are a world class team and take their chances.
Looks bad but we have to keep going. There will be another twist or three yet I think.

Some people going last time this result Leeds went down, last time that result Leeds went down... It means diddly squat... that was then and this is now and I say after today this Leeds side will come fighting back because the last time we lost to City 4 nil all be it at Maine Road the season ended gloriously for us... there you go, I'm doing it now!

Ultimately, we need to show a bit more guile in the final third, if we want to lay a glove on teams like this.
