History of the Leeds United v Manchester City fixture

Man City face a trip to Leeds United at Elland Road on Monday evening, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Sky Blues will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them ending up on the losing side in more than half of the games played between the two.

The most recent encounter between these two sides was just last season, in August 2002, with Leeds Utd. running out comfortable 3 - 0 winners in a Premiership match.

Recent respective form guides

Leeds United's poor home run has seen them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. While Whites have scored 7, a worringly large 11 have been leaked at the other end.

Man City's away form is none too clever either, winning and losing 3 each of the last six games. The Sky Blues's have a narrow positive goal difference over these games, with 14 goals for and 13 against.

Leeds Utd. find themselves stuck right at the bottom of the division. Their 28 games have yielded only 22 points. Man City are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 30 points from 28 matches.
