The big news is the return of Kevin De Bruyne from injury, as well as the return to starting action for Phil Foden.
Many fans will be looking at the return of De Bruyne as crucial as they enter crunch time in their treble season hopes. The Belgian missed City’s previous two games. Seeing him back in the Manchester City team will be a big boost.
Likewise, the return to the team and form for Foden will be a boost for them. Foden scored midweek against West Ham, scoring the City’s 1,000th goal under Pep.

There had been rumours that Erling Haaland would be rested in this game. Unfortunately for Leeds United, the record-breaking goalscorer is in the Manchester City team ready to add more goals to his tally.
Other rumours suggested Kalvin Phillips may have been in line for a rare start against his old team. However, Phillips is once again a sub as his future at the club looks to be on shaky grounds.
