Manchester City Aim to Bounce Back in Top Division, Women's National Team Set to Play

The Sky Blues look to respond positively when they host Leeds later today after suffering two losses in a row against Newcastle in the English top flight and the German side in the UCL.

Perhaps my expectations exceed their self-belief. 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 the visiting team.

Leeds are seeking to improve their results at the City's ground with Daniel Farke’s position in slight jeopardy. His side are near the bottom of the Premier League, and after Manchester City, a crucial period awaits for the German who, only last spring, celebrated promotion from the second tier.

To be frank, things aren't fun right now; there's plenty of negativity. Yet I'm not avoiding this. I knew about how fervent this club is from the outset. If you can’t handle the heat steer clear of managing Leeds. It wasn't my assumption this campaign to be an simple task.
