Manchester City Team News, Predicted Starting XI vs Leeds United

By

Wow! Manchester City really misses Rodri right now. Just when the Cityzens had seemingly turned the corner, and started to look dominant again this season, they suffer back to back losses in different competitions. You could see, in the 2-0 loss to Bayer Leverkusen last night in the UCL, and last weekend too, in the 2-1 defeat at Newcastle United, just how much they need Rodri … [Read more...] about Manchester City Team News, Predicted Starting XI vs Leeds United
