Man City to Win-to-Nil
Our first Man City vs Leeds prediction is for a home win and a clean sheet. Man City have secured four wins from their last six meetings with Leeds in all competitions, including two 4-0 victories and a massive 7-0 win. The hosts head into this game on the back of five wins and a draw from their last six outings in league and cup, which includes two clean sheets in their last three home games. Leeds have lost four of their last six league games but have a new manager at the helm for the last four games of the campaign.
Erling Haaland to Score
Our second Man City vs Leeds prediction delves into the First Goalscorer market. Erling Haaland broke the Premier League record for goals in a season as Man City defeated West Ham in midweek. The Norwegian striker has scored 35-goals in his debut season for Guardiola's side, seven of which have come from the penalty spot and nine have been the first goals in games, so you can see why we're backing this goal machine to score first against Leeds this weekend.

Man City vs Leeds Lineups
Man City
The first half between Man City and West Ham in midweek ended goalless but once Ake gave the home side the lead in the 49th-minute, there was no looking back for Guardiola's men. Erling Halland made history in the 70th minute, scoring his 35th league goal of the campaign after good work from Grealish. Foden added a third goal 5-minutes from time to secure a deserved 3-0 victory for Man City. Kevin De Bruyne is the only injury concern for the hosts this weekend but the medical staff are hopeful that the Belgian playmaker will be back in time for the Leeds game.
Predicted Lineup – Ortega (GK), Walker, Aké, Stones, Dias, Grealish, Silva, Rodri, Mahrez, Haaland & Álvarez
Leeds
Sam Allardyce will have looked back at Leeds' 4-1 defeat at Bournemouth last time out and will be looking to make his new club much harder to break down in the last four games of the season. The former Bolton, West Ham and Everton manager couldn't have picked a tougher game to start his possible short reign at the Yorkshire club but Big Sam has a reputation for upsetting the odds and it will be interesting to see how this new look Leeds side setup. Sinisterra, Dallas, Cooper and Adams are likely to be unavailable for Allardyce this weekend due to injury.
Predicted Lineup – Meslier (GK), Cooper, Ayling, Koch, Kristensen, Roca, Harrison, McKennie, Summerville, Bamford & Gnonto

Player to Watch: Jack Grealish
If Keven De Bruyne misses out this weekend then Jack Grealish might have to step in once again and take on the role of playmaker for Man City as he did in midweek against West Ham, setting up Haaland's record-breaking goal.
The 27-year-old has chipped in with 5-goals and 7-assists in the Premier League this season and has started to justify the massive fee City paid Aston Villa. We're backing Grealish to have another impressive game against Leeds this weekend, a team that have been leaking goals of late.
