At 4 o'clock in the morning on December 29th, Beijing time, Premier League will usher in a focus battle. Leeds United will face Manchester City at home. In the two meetings between the two teams last season, Manchester City scored 11 goals without conceding a single goal. In this round of the Premier League, the two sides meet again. Can Leeds United survive? Or is it a good show when Manchester City completes three consecutive kills? Here is a preview of this game for you.
Leeds United's playing style is extreme, and the defense is useless.
This season, Leeds United started high and went low . At the beginning of the league, Leeds United remained unbeaten in the first three rounds of the league. In the game against Chelsea , they easily won the opponent 3-0. After that, Leeds United experienced a losing streak. From the end of August until October, Leeds United failed to win a game. But Leeds United is a team that can surprise people. After eight rounds without a win, Leeds United upset Liverpool .
Judging from Leeds United's league data, they are a typical team with strong offense and weak defense. The league has only had 17 rounds so far. Leeds United has conceded 26 goals in three fewer rounds, almost two goals in every game. On the offensive end, the Leeds United team has completed 14 assists, 182 shots and scored 22 goals in the league so far. The scoring ability of 1.57 goals per game hides murderous intent.
Leeds United's Spanish striker Rodrigo deserves attention. He has scored 10 league goals this season. Although there is a huge gap in scoring efficiency with Haaland in Manchester City's formation, 9 Premier League goals cannot be underestimated.
Manchester City has evolved again, and Haaland has hit the goal record
After Manchester City took Haaland under its wing this season, it solved the problem of unstable forward scoring, which made Blue Moon usher in a huge improvement. After 14 league rounds, Manchester City has scored 40 goals, and their offensive firepower is terrifying. Haaland even scored 18 goals, dominating the scorer list. At present, Haaland's Golden Boot odds given by relevant agencies have dropped to 1.06. It can be said that the Golden Boot has been won.
The Premier League single-season scoring record is held by Salah. He scored 32 Premier League goals in the 2017-18 season. This is also the highest scoring record in the Premier League in a single season. Judging from the current situation, Haaland is very likely to break Salah's scoring record. Facing a mediocre defensive team like Leeds United in this campaign, we can definitely expect the "Devil" to score goals.
Leeds United has many injured players, and Manchester City has announced its return.
In this game, Leeds United has many injured players, including main players such as Harrison, Rodrigo, and Somerville, who may not be able to play. There are three players on Manchester City's side who are unable to play, namely Ruben Dias , Phillips and the Argentine forward Alvarez who just won the World Cup.
In addition, although Manchester City had just finished a fierce battle with Liverpool in the League Cup, Liverpool , Manchester City did not start the game with all the main players, such as seat B, Cancelo and other main players, all came on the bench. Therefore, Manchester City will not be at a disadvantage in terms of physical fitness. This League Cup match allowed De Bruyne to regain his feeling. After returning to the club, he sent two assists in the last game. He was completely different from the national team and performed extremely well.
Leeds United's "three-point ax" is difficult to work, but Manchester City's three-pointer is as stable as a dog?
Leeds United's style of play has distinctive characteristics. At the beginning of the game, they will press hard at all costs in order to get a good start. However, this style of play is often difficult to work when facing strong teams. In this campaign, Leeds United faced Manchester City. Guardiola's team mainly controlled the ball and controlled the rhythm. Leeds United's style of play was precisely restrained, which fully explains why Leeds United lost so completely in two rounds when they faced Manchester City last season.
Now, with one less round to play, Manchester City is 25 points behind the top Arsenal. In this battle, facing the underdogs, Blue Moon is bound to attack with all its strength and hit the three points.
