Leeds United face Manchester City away from home on Saturday afternoon (3pm), at the Etihad Stadium.
The Whites will play their first match under newly appointed head coach Sam Allardyce, who has managed over 500 Premier League matches throughout his long managerial career.
The challenge facing Leeds is top-of-the-table and reigning Premier League champions, Manchester City.
Pep Guardiola’s side have been in relentless form of late, which has seen them catch, and then overtake, Arsenal on their pursuit of a fifth title in six years.
United are currently in 17th place in the table, out of the bottom three on goal difference, but also level on points with 16th placed Leicester City.
City are currently on a nine-game winning run in the league, and haven’t been defeated in the top-flight since early February. They have also won the last three meetings against the Whites.
The match has been selected for live television coverage within the UK on Sky Sports. For those not attending the game or watching on television, you can stay right here on leedsunited.com to follow live updates throughout the 90 minutes, or listen to uninterrupted commentary on LUTV!
What has Sam Allardyce said, ahead of the match?
“They can score many different ways with the quality they have got, so you have to block all the opportunities they might be able to create and create some ourselves."
