Manchester City Aim to Bounce Back in Top Division, England Women Set to Play

Guardiola States His Team of Playing with Fear in Defeat to Leverkusen

Pep Guardiola's side will hope to respond positively when they face Leeds United later today after enduring back-to-back matches against Newcastle in the English top flight and Leverkusen in the UCL.

It's possible I rate them more highly than they do themselves. It was a good lesson for me, despite my managerial experience it was a good lesson for me for the future.

Pep is probably bringing back those he rested against the Leverkusen when facing Leeds United.

Farke's Team Aim to Find Form at Manchester

Daniel Farke's squad aim to turn things around at the home of Manchester City with Daniel Farke’s position in some doubt. His side are 18th in the table of the top division, and after facing City, a important stretch awaits for the manager who, just months ago, celebrated promotion from the Championship.

I’ll be honest, the current situation is tough; there's plenty of negativity. However, I won't shy away. I was aware of how passionate this team is from the first day. When the going gets tough steer clear of managing Leeds. It wasn't my assumption this season to be an simple task.
