"It is going to be fascinating". Mark Lawrenson states his prediction for Leeds United v Manchester City

  Leeds United and Manchester City are going to face off each other in the Premier League on Saturday, October 3. Ahead of the game BBC football expert Mark Lawrenson has made his prediction. Lawrenson predicts a 2-1 win for Pep Guardiola's side. "Leeds are still strengthening their squad but the one thing you can be sure about with all of their signings is that they can run. A pre-requisite for all of their players seems to be that they can cover some ground. "Marcelo Bielsa's side have been fabulous so far and it is going to be fascinating to see how he approaches this game against Pep Guardiola's Manchester City. "Guardiola will have a plan too, of course, but both coaches have a mutual admiration of each other. "City looked unprepared in their defeat by Leicester last weekend, which is most unusual for them under Guardiola - I am pretty sure it won't happen again here. "I am expecting it to be a very good game. A lot of teams show massive respect to City and sit deep but I don't think Leeds will do that."
