Pep's Squad Look to Bounce Back in English Top Flight, England Women Set to Play
City's Manager States City of Showing Apprehension in European Setback
Manchester City will hope to bounce back when they welcome Leeds later today after suffering consecutive defeats against Newcastle United in the English top flight and Leverkusen in the Champions League.

Pep is expected to reinstate those he gave a break to against the Leverkusen when facing the visiting team.

Truthfully, it’s not very enjoyable at the moment; we’re getting a lot of stick. However, I won't shy away. I was aware of how fervent this club is from the beginning. If you can’t handle the heat steer clear of managing Leeds. I didn't anticipate this term to be an easy ride.
