Unwanted City stat
That’s some team Pep Guardiola has there. Some bench too. They’re looking to become the first Manchester City side to beat Leeds United in the Premier League since 2003.
Warm-ups well underway
Both teams going through their pre-match routines. Leeds playing a possession game, City enjoying shooting practice.
They’ve just shown City 6-1 Man United on the screen, too. Conveniently not showing last season’s meeting here....
City head in
The hosts head down the tunnel first at the Etihad. Leeds follow on. We’re fast approaching kick-off, which comes at 8pm.
Klich song in full voice
Leeds United fans singing Mateusz Klich’s song at the Etihad as he warms up with the subs. He responds with applause.
The Etihad is ready
Ground staff doing their final prep. We’ve had some random smoke machines, we’re just awaiting the teams to re-emerge from the tunnel. Updates to come.
