Manchester City Aim to Return to Winning Ways in English Top Flight, Women's National Team Taking the Field

Manchester City are aiming to respond positively when they host Leeds later today after losing consecutive defeats against Newcastle United in the domestic league and Leverkusen in the European competition.

It's possible I rate them more highly than they do themselves. This served as a valuable lesson, as experienced as I am as a manager I'll carry this insight forward.

Guardiola is likely to recall those he rested against the Leverkusen when facing the visiting team.

Daniel Farke's squad aim to turn things around at the home of Manchester City with the manager's job in question. His side are in the relegation zone of the top division, and after facing City, a crucial period approaches for the German who, just months ago, earned promotion from the second tier.

I’ll be honest, the current situation is tough; there's plenty of negativity. Yet I'm not avoiding this. I knew about how passionate this organization is from the beginning. When the going gets tough don’t become manager of Leeds United. It wasn't my assumption this term to be an simple task.

The English top division: The thirteenth round ... the season is moving fast! Will City revive their championship challenge? Could it be a tough period for Edwards? And has Estêvão put himself in starting contention against Arsenal?
