Pep's Squad Seek to Bounce Back in English Top Flight, England Women Taking the Field

Manchester City are aiming to bounce back when they face Leeds United later today after enduring consecutive defeats against Newcastle in the domestic league and the German side in the Champions League.

Perhaps my expectations exceed their self-belief. I learned something important, as experienced as I am as a manager I'll carry this insight forward.

Guardiola is probably bringing back those he rested against the Bundesliga side when facing Daniel Farke’s side.

The Yorkshire club hope to also find some form at the City's ground with Farke's role in some doubt. His side are in the relegation zone of the Premier League, and after facing City, a important stretch approaches for the German who, recently, earned promotion from the second tier.

To be frank, the current situation is tough; we’re getting a lot of stick. But I don’t need to hide. I understood how passionate this organization is from the beginning. If you're not up for the pressure steer clear of managing Leeds. It wasn't my assumption this campaign to be an simple task.
