Explore Ladbrokes' detailed preview for Manchester City vs Leeds in the Premier League. Stats, odds, predictions, and lineups for the 15:00 GMT match.

• Fixture: Manchester City vs Leeds
• Date: Saturday, 29 November 2025
• Kick-off: 15:00 GMT
• Venue: Etihad Stadium

Manchester City are coming into this match with a bit of a mixed bag, having lost their last game away to Newcastle. However, they've shown strong form at the Etihad, winning their previous three home games convincingly.

Expect them to dominate possession and look to exploit Leeds' defensive frailties, especially after Leeds' recent run of four losses in five games. City's attack, led by the likes of Haaland, will be eager to bounce back and put on a show for the home fans.

Leeds, on the other hand, have struggled to find consistency, with their only win in the last five games coming at home against West Ham. Their away form has been particularly poor, as they have lost their last three on the road. They'll need to be more solid at the back and hope to catch City on an off day. However, given City's home form and Leeds' recent struggles, it's likely to be a tough afternoon for the visitors.

Manchester City's recent form has been a bit up and down, with two losses in their last five games, both coming away from home. However, their home form has been impeccable, winning their last three matches at the Etihad with a combined score of 8-1. This should give them confidence going into the game against Leeds.

With key players like Haaland and Silva in the lineup, they'll be looking to put on a strong performance and get back to winning ways.

Leeds have had a tough run of late, losing four out of their last five games, with their only win coming at home against West Ham. Their away form has been particularly concerning, losing their last three matches on the road. This doesn't bode well for their trip to the Etihad, where they'll face a Manchester City side that's been dominant at home.

Leeds will need to be at their best defensively and hope to catch City off guard if they're to get anything from this game.

• Predicted lineup: Donnarumma (GK), Nunes (DF), Dias (DF), Gvardiol (DF), O'Reilly (DF), Silva (MF), González (MF), Foden (MF), Cherki (MF), Doku (MF), Haaland (AT)

With a strong defensive lineup featuring Dias and Gvardiol, Manchester City should look to control the game from the back. The midfield trio of Foden, González, and Silva will be key in dictating the tempo and feeding the ball to Haaland up front.

• Predicted lineup: Perri (GK), Bogle (DF), Rodon (DF), Struijk (DF), Gudmundsson (DF), Stach (MF), Ampadu (MF), Longstaff (MF), Aaronson (AT), Nmecha (AT), Okafor (AT)

Leeds will need their defence, led by Rodon and Struijk, to be at their best to contain City's attack. In midfield, Ampadu and Stach will have their work cut out for them, trying to break up City's play and provide support to the forwards.

• Erling Haaland vs Pascal Struijk: This will be a crucial battle between Manchester City's prolific striker and Leeds' determined defender.

• Rayan Cherki vs Sean Longstaff: A fascinating midfield duel between Manchester City's creative force and Leeds' energetic playmaker.

• Nico González (Manchester City): González's ability to control the midfield and provide key passes will be vital for Manchester City's attacking play.

• Noah Okafor (Leeds): Okafor's pace and finishing ability make him a constant threat for Leeds up front.
