An interesting clash in the Premier League is set for Feb 28, as Man City bid to close the gap on Arsenal at the summit when they travel to Elland Road to take on relegation-threatened Leeds.
City have been in excellent recent form, winning each of their last three, and avoiding defeat in their previous five.
However, Leeds will be confident ahead of this clash, smoothly putting six points between themselves and the drop zone after avoiding defeat in four of their last five.

Leeds United will feel as though they are potentially two wins away from securing their Premier League status. However, despite their impressive run of form, draws have hindered their progress.
In fact, no side in the Premier League have drawn more games than the Whites this season. Meanwhile, three of their last four draws have seen Leeds open the scoring. But, an evening kick off under the lights at Elland Road typically favors the hosts, as they have avoided defeat in their last 25 competitive fixtures at home that have kicked off later than 5pm.
Anton Stach could make history this weekend, as he could set the record for most free-kicks scored by a Leeds player in a single season.

Pep Guardiola’s Man City continue to put pressure on Arsenal at the top of the Premier League standings, having won each of their last three.
This will be a homecoming for Leeds-born Erling Haaland, with the striker netting in both previous matches at Elland Road. City have been reliable in title races, reflected by the fact that they have won ten of their last 14 when playing before their championship rival.
Gianluigi Donnarumma has been an inspired signing by City. The goalkeeper made a world-class save to secure maximum points against Newcastle last Saturday, and he has saved 74% of the shots that he has faced.
| TOTAL | Leeds | Man City | DRAWS | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Games | 16 | 4 | 9 | 3 |
| Goals | 51 | 19 | 32 |
Man City haven’t won on three successive trips to Elland Road since 1928. We could see a twist in the title race coming this weekend based on Leeds United’s excellent home record, as they have lost just three of their 13 in front of their own fans. Their trend of draws points to an interesting betting angle.
