Manchester City will be keen to resume their Premier League campaign with three points when they travel to Leeds United. The Wednesday night contest will be difficult to call despite City being the favourites on paper. However, both sides are entering this contest on the back of losing their last league game. Man City suffered a shock home defeat to Brentford, while Leeds lost out to Tottenham Hotspur in a goalscoring feast. Thereby this game becomes extremely important for both sides to get the three points.
