Pep's Squad Seek to Bounce Back in Premier League, Women's National Team Set to Play

Manchester City are aiming to regroup when they face Leeds later today after losing back-to-back matches against the Magpies in the Premier League and Leverkusen in the Champions League.

The Yorkshire club hope to also find some form at the home of Manchester City with Daniel Farke’s position in question. His side are in the relegation zone of the top division, and after facing City, a pivotal week awaits for the coach who, just months ago, won promotion from the Championship.

To be frank, things aren't fun right now; there's plenty of negativity. But I don’t need to hide. I was aware of how passionate this team is from the beginning. If you can’t handle the heat steer clear of managing Leeds. It wasn't my assumption this campaign to be an easy ride.
