Manchester City<\/a> will be looking to record three consecutive away league wins over Leeds United for the first time in 98 years in Saturday’s meeting<\/a><\/strong> at Elland Road.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Man City will travel to Yorkshire on the back of five successive victories in all competitions, including a 2-1 success in last Saturday’s home clash with Newcastle United.<\/p>\n

Pep Guardiola<\/a>‘s side are currently sitting in second place in the Premier League table<\/a><\/strong>, with five points separating them from leaders Arsenal, who have played a game more.<\/p>\n

With Arsenal playing Chelsea on Sunday, Man City have the chance to pile the pressure on their title rivals by claiming maximum points from their meeting with Daniel Farke<\/a>‘s charges.<\/p>\n

Man City eyeing Elland Road win feat<\/p>\n

Saturday’s fixture represents Man City’s first trip to Elland Road since picking up two away league wins over Leeds in 2022.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Citizens ran out 4-0 winners in April 2022 before they recorded a 3-1 victory at Elland Road in December of the same year.<\/p>\n

Man City now have the chance to win three successive away league matches against Leeds for the first time since winning their first three away encounters between 1924 and 1928.<\/p>\n

While Man City will be the favourites to take all three points, a win is far from a forgone conclusion given that the visitors have won just one of their previous four Premier League away games (D2, L1).<\/p>\n

Haaland targeting goalscoring record<\/p>\n

Erling Haaland<\/a>, who was born in Leeds, could have a key role to play if his side are to reduce the gap to Arsenal to just two points.<\/p>\n

The Norway international netted a brace in Man City’s last trip to Elland Road over three years ago.\u00a0<\/p>\n

As a result, he now has the opportunity to become the first player for an away team to score two or more goals in back-to-back Premier League trips to Elland Road.<\/p>\n

Haaland is currently leading the Premier League scoring charts with 22 goals from 27 matches, including two in the last three top-flight encounters.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Manchester City will be looking to record three consecutive away league wins over Leeds United for the first…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":793891,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8814],"tags":[748,4230,393,68644,94,707,2826,4884,1860,22138,7126,101,4151,93,68303,10938,1068,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-794027","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-leeds","8":"tag-britain","9":"tag-cycling","10":"tag-england","11":"tag-epl","12":"tag-football","13":"tag-formula-1","14":"tag-golf","15":"tag-great-britain","16":"tag-leeds","17":"tag-nfl","18":"tag-olympics","19":"tag-premier-league","20":"tag-rugby","21":"tag-sport","22":"tag-sports-mole","23":"tag-teams","24":"tag-tennis","25":"tag-uk","26":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/116146440311154662","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/794027","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=794027"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/794027\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/793891"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=794027"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=794027"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=794027"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
