The Citizens Seek to Return to Winning Ways in Top Division, Women's National Team in Action
City's Manager States His Team of Showing Apprehension in European Setback
Pep Guardiola's side are aiming to bounce back when they host Leeds United later today after suffering back-to-back matches against the Magpies in the Premier League and Bayer Leverkusen in the UCL.

Pep is expected to reinstate those he rested against the German team when facing Leeds United.
