Leeds United will begin life after Javi Garcia this Saturday when they travel to the Etihad Stadium to face top-of-the-table Manchester City.
The hosts welcome the struggling Elland Road outfit to the Etihad Stadium, looking for the three points that will keep them on course for their fifth title in the last six years.
They come into this tie on the back of a 3-0 win over West Ham United–their ninth consecutive league win. The win also saw the mercurial striker make history as his 35th league goal of the league season makes him the player with the most goals in a single PL campaign.
Having recorded their 14th straight win at the Etihad last time, they are favourites for another routine home win here.

Meanwhile, Sam Allardyce will look to kickstart his Leeds United reign with a rare win when he takes his side to the Etihad on Saturday.
The veteran Englishman has been tasked with keeping the Yorkshire club in the Premier League with just four games to play. He has a reputation for firefighting and has come out gun blazing, claiming that he has the same level of experience as Pep Guardiola and Jurgen Klopp.
However, his record against the City boss does not inspire confidence ahead of this tie, as he has lost all four prior personal head-to-head meetings against Pep Guardiola.
That record suggests that any personal ”redemption” will be delayed at best, especially with all those losses seeing his team at the time concede 3+ goals.
Meanwhile, each of Leeds’ three most recent away defeats have seen them concede 2+ second-half goals. So we suggest a Goal First Half prediction here.
