Manchester City Look to Bounce Back in English Top Flight, England Women in Action

Manchester City are aiming to regroup when they host Leeds later today after losing back-to-back matches against Newcastle in the English top flight and Leverkusen in the European competition.

Perhaps my expectations exceed their self-belief. I learned something important, even with my background in coaching this will inform my future approach.

Pep is likely to recall those he gave a break to against the Bundesliga side when facing Daniel Farke’s side.

Daniel Farke's squad are seeking to improve their results at the Etihad Stadium with the manager's job in some doubt. His side are 18th in the table of the English football, and after this match, a crucial period approaches for the coach who, just months ago, earned promotion from the EFL Championship.

I’ll be honest, the current situation is tough; we face criticism. However, I won't shy away. I understood how fervent this club is from the first day. If you can’t handle the heat steer clear of managing Leeds. I didn't anticipate this term to be an simple task.
