Pep's Squad Aim to Bounce Back in Premier League, Women's National Team Taking the Field

City's Manager States City of Playing with Fear in Leverkusen Loss

The Sky Blues are aiming to bounce back when they host the Yorkshire club later today after suffering two losses in a row against Newcastle in the Premier League and Bayer Leverkusen in the UCL.

Perhaps my expectations exceed their self-belief. It was a good lesson for me, despite my managerial experience it was a good lesson for me for the future.

Pep is likely to recall those he gave a break to against the Bundesliga side when facing Daniel Farke’s side.

The Whites Aim to Improve Performance at City's Home Ground

The Yorkshire club hope to also find some form at the Etihad Stadium with Farke's role in slight jeopardy. His side are near the bottom of the Premier League, and after Manchester City, a pivotal week approaches for the German who, just months ago, won promotion from the second tier.

I’ll be honest, it’s not very enjoyable at the moment; there's plenty of negativity. However, I won't shy away. I knew about how passionate this team is from the outset. When the going gets tough steer clear of managing Leeds. I never expected this term to be an easy ride.
