Man City will be looking to stretch their advantage at the top of the Premier League standings to four points this weekend. Leeds United will be the visitors to the Etihad, as Sam Allardyce makes his return to the dugout.
Before Betting On Man City vs Leeds
Man City moved back to the Premier League title in midweek, as they picked up a straightforward 3-0 home win against West Ham United. Despite struggling to make a breakthrough in the first half, City rose their performance level in the second period, and eased to victory. The big story from the game was Erling Haaland’s 35th Premier League goal of the season, breaking the long-standing scoring record in he top-flight.
City’s record in the 3pm kick offs in the Premier League is staggering, as they have lost just twice in their previous 60. Over that period, they have recorded 50 wins, with their most recent loss in this time slot coming against Crystal Palace in October 2021. City also comes into this fixture having landed a 7-0 win against Leeds at the Etihad last term.
Leeds United thought that this week was the perfect time for a change, with Sam Allardyce brought in to replace Javi Gracia. Allardyce has excellent know-how when it comes to escaping the drop, having achieved that feat with Bolton, Everton, and Crystal Palace. However, his last job ended in relegation with West Bromwich Albion.
Leeds will be happy to see the end of April, as they conceded a Premier League record of 23 goals in the seven matches that they played. That was the most goals than any top-flight side has conceded in a single calendar month since Birmingham City allowed 23 in 1965. However, May is a month where Leeds often thrives, as they boast their highest win rate of any month in the season.

It remains to be seen whether Allardyce can save Leeds this season, but things don’t get more testing than a visit to the Etihad. City have been flying this season, and it looks ridiculously hard to overlook their chances of victory this weekend, and we see them landing a win by at least three clear goals.
