Blow-by-blow live updates from Elland Road and the Premier League match between Jesse Marsch's Leeds United and Pep Guardiola's Manchester City.
Clash of heads between Koch and Lapore in the City box. Klich has been promoted to a starter in the drill. Gundogan tracks back well and blocks the shot from a wide angle inside the box. Phillips intercepts in the centre and catch City out. Visitors have the better of the territory, but Meslier not hugely tested yet. Rapidly putting himself at the heart of the game. Lovely, pressured move builds and builds until the ball falls for Firpo on the far side, in space. Visitors having a rough patch and Leeds in fine fettle attacking through the thirds. Aside from a set-piece goal, City have not done a lot to trouble the goalkeeper. Cries of shoot from the crowd. Rolls to Jesus and Sterling gets put through for a good chance, but a superb Struijk slide blocks the shot. Leeds applying pressure and looking for those transition moments to hurt the leaders.
Manchester City will be looking to end another gameweek at the top of the Premier League table when they face Leeds in the late kick-off on Saturday.

Premier League. Leeds United 0. Manchester City 4 (Rodri 13', Ake 54', Jesus 78', Fernandinho 90'). Leeds: Meslier (GK), Ayling (C), Firpo (Gelhardt 62'), ...
It was second-half substitute Fernandinho who fired home a low effort on the edge of the box. A deep corner saw Dias head the ball back into the middle of the goal where Nathan Ake was well-positioned to stab home and double the advantage for the visitors. Foden had caused problems all afternoon and was the architect again, sliding the ball in for Gabriel Jesus to finish beyond Illan Meslier. There had also been quite a few stoppages in the first half for both sides to contend with. A slip in the City defence from Ruben Dias allowed Rodrigo to race through on goal, but his effort from a narrowing angle was well blocked. Frustratingly for Leeds, City scored with their first real attempt of the match.
Manager had the luxury of leaving half an eye on Champions League return with Real as his changed side sweep past Leeds to reclaim top spot.
Deep in added time, Fernandinho wrapped up the scoring, with a 20-yard shot after Sterling had been fouled in the Leeds area and the home side failed to clear adequately. Marsch’s frustrations got the better of him, and earned him a booking, midway through the second half, which at least seemed to inspire his team to a strong final quarter. Ruben Dias rose above two markers at the far post and headed down for Ake to sweep the ball in, despite the close attention of Pascal Struijk, who failed to make a challenge. Still, the closest Leeds could come to a real first-half chance was a shot from the unmarked Junior Firpo who blazed the ball over the bar from a promising position. Stuart Dallas fouled Jack Grealish and Phil Foden delivered the perfect cross from the left which was met by Rodri who headed the ball in from six yards, a finish which would have been far more difficult had the home defence done their job. They might even have been able to cheer an opening goal after only three minutes when Joao Cancelo lost the ball on halfway and Rodrigo sprinted half the length of the field only for his poor, tardy cross for Raphinha to be easily blocked by Ilkay Gundogan.
It was a tale of two set-pieces at Elland Road as Manchester City kept themselves top of the Premier League with three precious points with a 4-0 win over ...
Like Sterling and Jesus, he squandered a fantastic chance to make it 2-0. Fouled regularly and once or twice the referee even blew for it. However, there was no mistake when he made it 3-0 late on- that was a very nice strike. Embarrassing defenders with his trickery is now a weekly hobby for Foden. Used his physicality wonderfully to head it down for Ake and create the second goal. Wasted a late chance, not that it matters too much, and then got a great late block in.

Leeds came out firing in the second half, but it was City who scored first, Ake turning it in from another set piece on 54 minutes.

Leeds put up a good challenge to the Premier League champions, but struggled to keep a hold on the ball in key areas.
The world-class quality of Pep Guardiola's Manchester City told in a 4-0 win over a Leeds United side lacking composure but not heart.
Leeds United's relegation rivals Everton could welcome back a host of first team regulars when they take on Chelsea this afternoon.
We would love to get him back towards the end of the season but it will be a close call. We just need to get him more training minutes, hopefully game minutes because he's been out for a while. “Dominic is back in the squad, he’s been training the last couple of days.
Manchester City scored twice from set-pieces in a 4-0 win at Elland Road.
And Keane accepted the misfortune of the missing skipper but agreed that Leeds were worryingly disorganised. It’s a beautiful finish from Ake. But again, you can lose the first header, but it’s how you react to the second. Both Leeds and Burnley are five points above Everton who have two games in hand - the first of which sees them host Chelsea tomorrow. “City dominated and got the early goal then there was a middle part of the game when Leeds came into it.” Richards said. But poor defending from set-plays and a lack of composure when breaking forward cost them. Jesse Marsch’s side put up a spirited performance but lacked the quality needed to take anything from the game.

Guardiola's side travelled to Elland Road in Leeds knowing they had to win after Liverpool beat Newcastle. They did. Comfortably in the end.
Rodrigo went haring off up the pitch and got into the box on the left, but he was just too slow and unsure of exactly what he wanted to do with it, and the City defense got back in time to nab the ball off him. Leeds playing with a packed back-line, five of them most of the time when City have the ball, which so far has been most of the two minutes of the match. Leeds! The City corner broke out to Cancelo, who bizarrely fell over (well he slipped) and gifted the home side a peach of a break.

Leeds! The City corner broke out to Cancelo, who bizarrely fell over (well he slipped) and gifted the home side a peach of a break. Leeds fans incensed as Aké handles the ball to prevent Leeds coming out with it and then goes on to win a corner. So far though Leeds have had the best chance, thanks to Cancelo slipping as he gathered the ball from a cleared City corner. Alas for Leeds both a lack of touch and communication mean the move breaks down as they bring it into the real danger area. On paper that was never going to be too hard a task - see the 7-0 in the previous fixture this season - but City had players out and Leeds are fighting for survival and at home. James comes on for him, so the injury was clearly too severe to try and work on it at half-time. Junior nearly getting in again for Leeds and then Grealish escaping after some physical battles to make a burst down the left and whip in a tempting ball that finds nothing more than lonely, empty space. City go to Leeds and reclaim the summit.

Saturday's results caused a change in where Leeds are predicted to finish and this is now the forecast for the Whites and their relegation rivals based on the latest updated odds to go down.

Despite some bright moments, United fell to a 4-0 defeat which has left them fourth-bottom and five points ahead of third-bottom Everton but with the Toffees having played two games less.
Saturday has been another huge day in the fight for Premier League survival after Leeds United's 4-0 loss at home to Manchester City.

There is probably a grudging resentment for Grealish’s quality, but it’s mainly driven by the anger of his diving and complaining to referees at the ground. There was plenty of applause and cheering for Les as his picture flashed up on the big screen in the southwest corner. Jesse Marsch was stood in his technical area throughout most of the match and found himself acting as a quickfire ballboy in several situations.
City ensured Liverpool's stay at the Premier League summit was brief following a hard-earned but ultimately comfortable 4-0 victory over Leeds United.
It is a long season and this is the last effort." "We knew coming here the way they play, we suffered a lot in the first half. But in the end we had control and could have scored more. "What a game Laporte played, he is doing an incredible season. - This is the fourth time City have scored 10+ goals against an opponent within a single Premier League season; Watford in 2019-20 (12), Norwich in 2011-12 (11), Tottenham in 2013-14 (11). And now Leeds this season (11). "They are so fast up front. City return to the top of the table, a point clear of Liverpool with four games remaining. The Leeds players pressed extremely well and were physical and determined - this was a stiff test and a fantastic victory for the Blues against a good Leeds United side. Again, it came from a Foden set-piece – this time a corner – knocked deep into the Leeds box for Ruben Dias to nod down and Ake to sweep home from a couple of yards out with 64 minutes on the clock. And there was still time for a fourth goal as both sides missed chances in the time that remained as Fernandinho, on as a late sub, drilled home from 20 yards on the day he posted a new Premier League record for the most appearances by a Brazilian. It was turning into a energy-sapping contest for both teams and the urgency for City to get a second goal and something of a cushion was growing by the minute – and nine minutes after the restart, Ake provided exactly that. In the tinderbox atmosphere of Elland Road, it was vital City got off to a solid start and quieten down the home support as quickly as possible.

Leeds United were unfortunately humbled by Premier League leaders Manchester City yesterday as Pep Guardiola's side ran out 4-0 winners.
The players obviously don’t fully understand it yet but the more they try and practice, the better they will get and eventually it will click and teams like City will have a very tough time at Elland Road. You only have to glance at the gulf between the two sides in the table to see that the Whites aren’t really at the Citizens’ level but they would have expected a bit more fight.
