4-3-3 Man City’s predicted line up vs Leeds United: Gundogan to miss out with an injury?

Man City managed to pick up a 1-0 win over a 10-man Wolves side during the weekend which means they are still holding onto the top spot on the Premier League table.

Next up, Man City take on Leeds United on Tuesday night and if recent form is anything to go by then Pep Guardiola’s side should pick up an easy win. Leeds have won just one of their last six league outings and they have a series of injury concerns which means it will be really hard for Bielsa to name his strongest XI.

Liverpool and Chelsea are breathing down their necks so Manchester City need to pick up all three points in midweek or else they will slip down from the top spot. Guardiola will have a few players missing but that shouldn’t be too big a concern for the manager.

Pep though will undoubtedly rotate his players as he will want to rest his players and keep all of them injury-free during the busy winter schedule.

Man City team news vs Leeds United:

Ederson have a poor game vs Wolves but the keeper will hold onto his place since City do not have a quality backup.

Cancelo is suspended due to an accumulation of yellow cards which means Zinchenko will play as the left full-back while Walker comes in on the right-hand side.

Ilkay Gundogan was withdrawn during the Wolves game and speaking after the match, Pep Guardiola confirmed that he has injured his lower back.

The manager said, as quoted: “Ilkay is struggling a lot with his back.”

Gundogan is not expected to be fit to face Leeds United which means Kevin De Bruyne will get to start alongside Rodri and Bernardo Silva.

Pep Guardiola is going to rotate his front-three but Jack Grealish is expected to hold onto his place despite putting up a poor show during the weekend.

Gabriel Jesus and Raheem Sterling though is going to move to the bench as Phil Foden and Riyad Mahrez come back into the first XI. Foden is likely going to be the one who plays as the false-nine.

Man City predicted line up vs Leeds United:

Predicted Starting Line-up: Ederson; Aymeric Laporte, Ruben Dias, Zinchenko, Walker; Rodri, De Bruyne, Silva; Grealish, Phil Foden, Mahrez.
