Pep's Squad Seek to Regain Form in Top Division, Lionesses Taking the Field

Guardiola States City of Showing Apprehension in European Setback

Pep Guardiola's side look to bounce back when they host the Yorkshire club later today after suffering two losses in a row against Newcastle United in the English top flight and the German side in the UCL.

Perhaps my expectations exceed their self-belief. I learned something important, even with my background in coaching it was a good lesson for me for the future.

Pep is expected to reinstate those he rested against the Leverkusen when facing Leeds United.

Farke's Team Aim to Improve Performance at Manchester

The Yorkshire club hope to also find some form at the City's ground with Daniel Farke’s position in question. His side are near the bottom of the Premier League, and after facing City, a crucial period looms for the German who, only last spring, earned promotion from the EFL Championship.

I’ll be honest, things aren't fun right now; there's plenty of negativity. Yet I'm not avoiding this. I understood how passionate this team is from the outset. If you're not up for the pressure steer clear of managing Leeds. It wasn't my assumption this season to be an easy ride.
