Leeds vs Manchester City Stats-Based Bet Builder Tips: Citizens to maintain title charge at Leeds’ expense in 22/1 shot

Manchester City will look to maintain their Premier League title charge when they head to Elland Road to face Leeds United on Saturday evening (17:30 GMT, Sky Sports Main Event/Sky Sports Premier League). With leaders Arsenal not playing until Sunday when they face Chelsea, City can move to within two points of the Gunners with a victory.

However, the Whites have a fight of their own to focus on and, having pushed Pep Guardiola's men all the way at the Etihad Stadium in November, Daniel Farke's side will fancy their chances. Below are my Leeds vs Manchester City Stats-Based Bet Builder Tips, with this five-leg shot paying out at 22/1.

Football Odds

Leeds vs Manchester City Odds

Both teams to score

Leeds have used their Elland Road home to good effect this season, but they have still had issues keeping clean sheets in LS11. Farke's side have kept only three clean sheets in 13 home games, and they should struggle to stop City from scoring several goals.

City beat Leeds 3-2 earlier this season and they have scored two or more in eight consecutive matches in all competitions. The Citizens have scored at least two goals in their last five games against Leeds, but there's every chance that the Whites bag their 23rd goal at home this season.

The hosts will view this game as a free hit and in front of their own fans, they can contribute to a high-scoring affair. The Whites have scored in 11 of their 13 games at home and will feel they can give City problems for the second time this season.

Most corners - Manchester City

There were nine corners when the two teams met in November and both teams are likely to put on a show in what promises to be a special night at Elland Road.

It should be City that dominates the corner count this week, even though they are not at home. Only six teams have won more corners than City this season and they beat Leeds 8-1 in that department earlier this season.

With Guardiola's team set to dominate possession, it is hard to see how they cannot win the corner count, having already done it against the Whites this season.

Jayden Bogle to be shown any card

Leeds right-back Jayden Bogle was booked in last week's 1-1 draw with Aston Villa in what was his fifth caution of the season. He has conceded 27 fouls already this season, with nine of those coming in his last five appearances.

Bogle will come up against some of the best attacking players in the division, so he will do well to avoid a caution, given his aggressive nature.

Antoine Semenyo to score anytime

Former Bournemouth ace Antoine Semenyo continues to impress for the Citizens and he has registered 12 shots in his last six outings.

He has registered a shot on target in three consecutive starts, scoring on one occasion. Semenyo is likely to arrive late into the box and that may allow him more space against Leeds' back three.

The three centre-backs will be tasked with marking Erling Haaland out of the game, but Semenyo is more than capable of finding space and doing some serious damage.

Bernardo Silva 2+ fouls committed

City midfielder Bernardo Silva has conceded 32 fouls this season, the joint most in the Citizens' squad. Eight of those have come in his last five outings and he is more than happy to get nasty and concede cheap fouls when he needs to.

With Leeds set to match City for energy, he may need to concede one or two free-kicks to stop their momentum.
