Manchester City will look to avenge their loss to Newcastle last weekend with a comprehensive win over Leeds United. Pep Guardiola's team have had an up-and-down season so far, stumbling at a few hurdles to sit third in the Premier League table.
Former title challengers Arsenal are currently sitting at the summit of the league and City are seven points adrift from the north London side. The fixture list is only continuing to get busier over the coming weeks, including three tough away trips domestically and in Europe.
Guardiola will be planning to get maximum points with a visit from promoted side Leeds United on Saturday afternoon. However, Daniel Farke's side have been an interesting addition to the Premier League this year, gaining wins over Everton, Wolves and drawing with the likes of Newcastle and Bournemouth so far.
A famous Eithad Stadium win will be Farke's goal but this will be a tough test for both sides. Here, Manchester Evening News has all the details on this all-important clash.
When does Manchester City vs Leeds United kick off?
Manchester City will kick off against Leeds United on Saturday, November 29 at 3pm. The game will be played at City's home ground, the Etihad Stadium.
Is Manchester City vs Leeds United on TV?
Unfortunately for both sets of fans, the game between City and Leeds United will not be broadcast on TV. This is due to the 3pm blackout rule, which restricts any live football in the UK from being shown live between 2:45pm and 5:15pm on Saturdays.
The policy was first introduced in the 1960s to encourage fans to attend lower league games and it is in force today.
Therefore, fans will either need to attend the match or follow the official club's social media accounts for updates throughout the game. Highlights from the game will be made available on Match of the Day, which broadcasts on BBC One at 10:25pm.
Manchester City vs Leeds United team news
With both teams losing in the previous Premier League fixture, it is likely that a full-strength side will be posted by both managers. Leeds United will likely be without Anton Stach who was taken off as a concussion substitute in the team's 2-1 loss to Aston Villa last weekend.
However, a good amount of absentees have returned, including Dominic Calvert-Lewin, Sebastiaan Bornauw, Dan James and Willy Gnonto. Meanwhile, City will be without Mateo Kovacic (ankle) and Rodri (hamstring).
