Erling Haaland starts as Phil Foden and Ederson return – Fans and Media predicted Man City starting XI vs Leeds

Manchester City return to Premier League action with a trip to Elland Road to face Leeds United on Wednesday evening.

City now sit eight points off top place following Arsenal’s victory over West Ham on Boxing Day so three points are vital.

Pep Guardiola’s side will be without three first-team players for their trip to Leeds on Wednesday.

Julian Alvarez, Kalvin Phillips and Ruben Dias are all confirmed by Pep Guardiola to be absent although for very different reasons.

Ruben Dias is definitely sidelined with a hamstring injury while Julian Alvarez is yet to return from celebrating Argentina’s World Cup triumph.

Kalvin Phillips will not feature against his former club after Guardiola revealed that the midfielder had returned to the club from international duties “overweight.”

Manchester City possible starting lineup:

In what is set to be an enthralling contest, here is how Some Man City Fans and Media expect Pep Guardiola’s side to line-up.
