Preview: Leeds vs Manchester City Prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds | Premier League 2025-26

The Cityzens have already defeated the Peacocks once this season.

Leeds United are now going to square off against Manchester City for their matchweek 28 contest of the 2025-26 Premier League. This is going to be an intense outing between these sides, taking place at Elland Road.

The Peacocks have performed decently in their last few matches. They will be at home for their upcoming contest and it is going to be one of the advantages for them. Leeds United were held to a 1-1 draw by Aston Villa in their last game. They are now in 15th place on the league table.

Manchester City have been performing well in their recent games and are still capable of winning the title this season. With 17 wins in 27 games, the Pep Guardiola-led side are placed second on the Premier League points table. They are coming in after defeating Newcastle United 2-1 in their previous matchup.

Players to Watch

Dominic Calvert-Lewin (Leeds United)

The 28-year-old will be looking to step up his game so that he can help his side stand a chance against Man City. In 24 Premier League appearances this season, he has scored 10 goals and has an assist to his name. He will now be looking to add more to his tally. A top performance from Dominic Calvert-Lewin can be useful for Leeds United.

Nico O’Reilly (Manchester City)

Nico O’Reilly is going to be one of the main men in the attacking front for the Cityzens. He is coming in after scoring a brace for Manchester City and leading them to a win against the Magpies. He will be gearing up to help his side and is surely going to create problems for the opponent’s defence.
