WHAT A MISS! Leeds give it away cheaply deep inside their own half. De Bruyne looks set to pull the trigger just inside the box but unselfishly lays it across to Bernardo, who contrives to slot wide of target.
5'
Perhaps no surprise that it's all City early doors.
4'
SAVE! Grealish weaves into space 25 yards out and fizzes a low strike towards goal that Meslier gets down well to parry.

500 UP? City have scored 499 goals in 206 Premier League games under Pep Guardiola. Will they reach a landmark figure tonight?

CAN LIGHTNING STRIKE TWICE? Leeds are bidding to claim consecutive away league victories against Manchester City for the first time in 34 years.
Their 2-1 win at the Etihad in April was only the second time in 20 attempts they have beaten the side starting the day top of the Premier League table.

DID YOU KNOW? A City win would see them equal Liverpool's top-flight record of 33 wins in a calendar year. The Merseysiders set that run in 1982.

Ruben Dias on Bernardo Silva: “You have many players with a lot of quality at his level, but you don’t have many that are able to make the sacrifices he makes. That is who Bernardo Silva is. A guy who is equally talented as the others, but willing to make sacrifices that not many others are willing to. That is a good thing to reflect on, especially the youngsters, because that is the kind of player and personality you should be aiming for. For the team, that is the best thing you can have.”

Tyler Roberts on the challenge of facing City: "They decide what tempo they want to play at. They’re comfortable in any situation and you can see all the world class players they have. You want to play against players like this, compete in the top leagues and be able to play the best."

Marcelo Bielsa on Leeds’ disciplinary record: “There is no need for any added recommendation to the one we usually make – just to avoid actions that will get you booked. That recommendation is never conditioned to the amount of bookings a player is on, because even if they weren’t close to a suspension, we don’t want them to produce excessive actions. I don’t think that we are a violent team and I don’t think we are defending worse and for that reason there is more hits. We always try not to be booked, whether we’re on the limit of yellows or not.”

Pep on Jack Grealish: “He has to do exactly what he is doing, no more than that. The rest will come in time.  He could have scored a hat-trick against Watford without a problem. Last game [he could have scored] one or two goals again. It’s going to happen. The way he is playing is good. He has been so important for us so far this season. He has played a lot of minutes.”
