"Despite suffering late frustration away at Aston Villa last weekend as they eventually had to settle for a 1-1 stalemate in the Midlands, the former Norwich boss has seen his squad gain a string of plaudits. Extending on their FA Cup adventure on February 15th as they edged past Championship high-flyers Birmingham, Leeds have suffered just a pair of defeats from any of their previous 16 consecutive appearances across all competitions."
"Sustaining a hamstring injury during Leeds' FA Cup victory away at Birmingham earlier in the month, Leeds have confirmed that Noah Okafor will once again miss out here. However, aside from the Swiss international, Farke's side have reported a clean bill of health."
Manchester City visits Leeds United on Saturday evening in a Premier League fixture with significant implications for City's title ambitions. Leeds, under manager Daniel Farke, have demonstrated substantial improvement over the past month, suffering only two defeats in their last 16 consecutive appearances across all competitions since late November. Despite a recent 1-1 draw at Aston Villa, Leeds advanced past Birmingham in the FA Cup and will enter the match with confidence. Manchester City, managed by Pep Guardiola, recently secured a 2-1 victory against Newcastle and are enjoying an extended period of strong form. Leeds will be without Swiss international Noah Okafor due to a hamstring injury sustained in the Birmingham match, while Manchester City appears to have a fully fit squad available for selection.
