The Citizens Look to Regain Form in English Top Flight, England Women Set to Play

Pep Accuses His Team of Showing Apprehension in Defeat to Leverkusen

The Sky Blues look to respond positively when they face Leeds later today after suffering two losses in a row against Newcastle United in the English top flight and Bayer Leverkusen in the Champions League.

Maybe I think higher of them than they think about themselves. It was a good lesson for me, even with my background in coaching I'll carry this insight forward.

Pep is expected to reinstate those he gave a break to against the Leverkusen when facing Daniel Farke’s side.

The Yorkshire club are seeking to improve their results at the City's ground with the manager's job in slight jeopardy. Leeds United are near the bottom of the top division, and after this match, a important stretch looms for the manager who, recently, celebrated promotion from the Championship.

Truthfully, the current situation is tough; we’re getting a lot of stick. However, I won't shy away. I understood how dedicated this organization is from the first day. If you're not up for the pressure avoid this job. I never expected this season to be an simple task.
