Quotes

 

“You travel away as a newly promoted side here against one of the title contenders, one of the best teams in this country and also in Europe, and you are slightly disappointed with just one point,” Leeds manager Daniel Farke said after his side's draw with Villa.

 

“I have to say my warriors today deserve all the praise and lots of compliments, it's a really good point for us and another top away performance.  We came so close really to win all three, but after a moment of disappointment, you have to say it's another really good point, also I think well deserved point.”

 

Head-to-Head

 

Man City secured a 3-2 win over Leeds in their last Premier League meeting, which was at the Etihad Stadium in November 2025.

 

Therefore, the Citizens are unbeaten in their last five league games against the Whites, having recorded five consecutive wins.
