Pep Guardiola's side put a whopping seven goals past Illan Meslier and United could find no reply.

Six different scorers found the net against the Whites - Phil Foden, Jack Grealish, Kevin de Bruyne, Riyad Mahrez, John Stones and Nathan Aké as the Leeds defence creaked and collapsed.

The disastrous result followed a stunning record against last season's Champions during Leeds' first season back in the top flight, as Marcelo Bielsa's men held City to a 1-1 draw at Elland Road before pulling out a magnificent 2-1 victory with ten men at the Etihad.

How are Manchester City doing?

Marsch was right to speak highly of Manchester City in his pre-match press conference on Thursday.The Lancashire side are flying at the moment. They are undefeated in seven Premier League games and have only lost three all season.

On Tuesday, City flaunted their finesse on the international stage as they ran out 4-3 winners against La Liga leaders Real Madrid in the first leg of the Champions League semi-final.
